The fish oil-derived Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are particularly important in the continued support of cardiovascular and mental health, as well as being beneficial to joint mobility. The recommended minimum intake is 450mg EPA / DHA per day, with a scale of increased benefits up to around 2000mg per day.

This product provides 224mg of EPA / DHA per two capsules. At this dosage, this product is unlikely to deliver the full spectrum of benefits associated with increased intake of Omega-3 without additional supplementation or increased consumption of oily fish.

However the manufacturer’s recommendation is six capsules daily for the first twelve weeks, which would provide a level of EPA / DHA  of 732mg . Hence it would provide above the recommended guideline intake if 450mg/day, -  but for this period only. Most authorities indicate that the guideline intake is necessary for an indefinate period in order to deliver the full spectrum of expected benefits.

In addition, compliance with taking six capsules a day even for 12 weeks is likely to be difficult to achieve.

Unlike most products in this category, specific published research performed on this product indicates some potential benefits in improving learning capabilities in children. Undertaking research of this type is highly commendable.   

The product provides 20mg of GLA from Evening Primrose Oil, which may provide some additional benefits. Very expensive.

Free from: Gluten, Casein.
