Omega-3 & Fish Oil

Fish oil is one of the better-studied supplements, with reasonable support for heart and general health, and it is an easy fix if you rarely eat oily fish. The number that actually matters is the EPA and DHA content, not the headline "1000mg fish oil", since two products at the same size can differ a lot. Vegans have solid algae-based options that skip the fish entirely.

Common questions

What should I look at on the label?

The EPA and DHA figures, the two active omega-3s. A big "1000mg" on the front can still hide a small active dose, so check the per-capsule EPA/DHA rather than the total oil.

Is there a vegan option?

Yes. Algae oil delivers the same EPA and DHA that fish get from, well, algae. It costs a bit more but is a genuine like-for-like for anyone avoiding fish.
