Considerations:
-
High Dosage:
- 900mg of fish oil is a high dose compared to other Jamieson Omega-3 products (e.g., Webber Naturals Omega-3 300mg Fish Oils 1000mg EPA/DHA provides 300mg of EPA+DHA).
- While it may be beneficial for some, a high dose is not necessary for everyone and can increase the risk of side effects.
-
EPA and DHA Content: The exact amount of EPA and DHA is crucial to determine the specific benefits. Generally, a higher ratio of EPA to DHA is recommended for heart health, while a higher DHA ratio may be better for cognitive function.
- Check the label or manufacturer website for the specific EPA and DHA content.
- Potential Side Effects: Fish oil can cause fishy burps or breath in some individuals, and the risk may be higher with a high dosage.
Recommendations:
- Consult Your Doctor Before Use: This is especially important given the high dosage. Discuss if it's appropriate for you, especially if you have any underlying health conditions (bleeding disorders, high triglycerides) or take medications that interact with blood clotting (e.g., blood thinners).
- Consider Lower Dose if New to Omega-3s: If you're new to fish oil supplements, a lower dose product (around 300mg EPA+DHA) might be a better starting point to assess effectiveness and tolerability.
- Alternative Sources: Omega-3s can also be obtained from fatty fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel) including them in your diet can be a good way to boost intake.
- Follow Dosage Instructions: If your doctor approves this supplement, take it exactly as directed on the label and don't exceed the recommended daily intake (1 softgel) without consulting them.
