How do EPA and DHA in the formula differ, and why is vitamin E added to the product? — VH.NUTRA Gold Omega 3 Strong softgels N60

VH.NUTRA Gold Omega 3 Strong lists two key marine omega-3 fatty acids: EPA 330 mg and DHA 220 mg in the daily serving. Both are part of the structure of cell membranes, and according to the manufacturer's description, omega-3 fatty acids help maintain normal heart function and also contribute to the maintenance of normal brain function and vision.

For the buyer this means that the product does not simply contain “omega-3” but provides a specific combination of EPA and DHA. This is handy when you compare different supplements: look not only at the total amount of fish oil but also at the amount of these particular active fatty acids. Here the dose of EPA and DHA is already given for the daily serving, so you do not have to recalculate the content from individual components yourself.

Vitamin E is added because omega-3 fatty acids are sensitive to air and light and can oxidise. Its role in such a formula is to help protect the fatty acids in the product. If you take medicines, especially anticoagulants, or choose omega-3 during pregnancy or breastfeeding, consult a specialist before use.
