How is NOW Omega-3 intended to support heart health?

Take two NOW Omega-3 softgels daily to help support heart health. Each softgel provides fish oil containing EPA and DHA, the omega-3 fatty acids associated with the product’s cardiovascular-support purpose. The FDA’s qualified statement is that supportive but inconclusive research shows consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease; this is not a guarantee of an individual result.

• Daily use direction: two softgels.
• Product purpose: cardiovascular support.

What is in each NOW Omega-3 softgel?

Each NOW Omega-3 softgel contains 1,000 mg of fish oil, including 180 mg EPA and 120 mg DHA. The oil is a fish oil concentrate processed through molecular distillation. The stated amounts are per softgel, so they provide a clear basis for understanding the contents of each capsule.

• Fish oil concentrate in softgel form.
• Natural color variation may occur.
