Omega-3 Fish Oil (1000mg) is a concentrated source of two critical long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids: Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). These "good fats" are essential because the human body cannot produce them in sufficient quantities. They work by integrating into cell membranes throughout the body, improving fluidity and signaling. EPA is primarily known for its potent anti-inflammatory properties and cardiovascular support, while DHA is a major structural component of the brain and the retina of the eye. Together, they help lower triglycerides, reduce systemic inflammation, and support cognitive longevity.
In Nigeria, Omega-3 Fish Oil 1000mg (available in premium brands like Puritan’s Pride, Nature’s Field, or Solgar) is a foundational supplement for chronic disease management. It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure customers receive authentic, molecularly distilled softgels that are free from heavy metals (like mercury) and stored in cool, dark environments to prevent the fragile oils from becoming "rancid."
Important: This is a high-purity lipid supplement. The "Meal" Rule: Fish oil must be taken with a meal containing some fat to trigger the release of digestive enzymes; taking it on an empty stomach significantly reduces absorption. The "Surgery" Warning: Omega-3s have a mild blood-thinning effect; you must stop taking them at least 2 weeks before any scheduled surgery or dental procedure. Consult our pharmacist if you are taking blood thinners like Warfarin or Aspirin, as the combination may increase the risk of bruising.

This product is suitable for:
Adults looking to proactively manage their cardiovascular and heart health
Seniors experiencing age-related cognitive decline or joint discomfort
Individuals with high triglyceride levels who do not eat fatty fish regularly
Fitness enthusiasts and athletes seeking to reduce exercise-induced inflammation
Not recommended for: Individuals with a known allergy to fish or shellfish. It is strictly contraindicated for those with active bleeding disorders. Use with caution if you have "Atrial Fibrillation," as very high doses may occasionally affect heart rhythm. Consult our pharmacist if you are pregnant; while DHA is vital for the baby, your dose should be balanced with your prenatal vitamins. Consult your doctor if you are taking medications for high blood pressure, as fish oil can have an additive effect.
For Adults: Take one (1) to two (2) softgels daily, preferably with your largest meal
The "Burp-Free" Tip: To avoid the "fishy aftertaste," store your bottle in the refrigerator and take the softgel while cold
Swallow the softgel whole with a glass of water; do not chew or puncture it
Consistency is Vital: The benefits for joints and heart health build up over 6 to 12 weeks of daily use
The "Freshness" Check: If the softgels have a very strong, foul, or "rotten" smell, the oil has oxidized and should be discarded
If a dose is missed, take it with your next meal, but skip it if it is almost time for your next daily dose
Omega-3 Fish Oil is exceptionally safe, but some individuals may experience:
"Fishy" burps or a mild aftertaste
Mild stomach upset, nausea, or loose stools
Heartburn or acid reflux
Rare: Increased tendency for nosebleeds or bruising at very high doses ($>3000\text{mg}$ daily)
Rare: A mild skin rash in sensitive individuals
Seek medical advice if you experience unusual bruising, persistent diarrhea, or signs of an allergic reaction like hives or swelling of the face.

What is the difference between Fish Oil and Cod Liver Oil?
Fish oil is extracted from the flesh of oily fish and is high in EPA/DHA. Cod Liver Oil comes from the liver and contains EPA/DHA plus high levels of Vitamin A and D. You should not take both at high doses simultaneously.
Does this help with weight loss?
While not a "weight loss pill," Omega-3s can help improve metabolism and insulin sensitivity, making it a great addition to a healthy diet and exercise plan.
Can children take these 1000mg softgels?
These large softgels are usually designed for adults. Children generally require smaller "Kid-friendly" versions with adjusted dosages for their age and weight.
