How much EPA and DHA does one capsule contain, and is that enough? — Mega Omega-3, 90 capsules (EPA/DHA 300 mg + Vitamin E) - Herbin

One capsule of HERBIN Mega Omega 3 contains 180 mg of EPA and 120 mg of DHA — a total of 300 mg of the two key omega-3 fatty acids. This is a basic level often found in standard fish oil supplements.

EPA is involved in metabolic processes related to the vascular system and the body's inflammatory responses. DHA is a component of cell membranes — especially in the tissues of the brain and the retina. Both come from fish oil, and the body cannot synthesise them in sufficient quantities on its own.

For someone who regularly eats oily sea fish (mackerel, salmon, herring) 2–3 times a week, this supplement will be a modest addition. If fish appears on the menu rarely or in small amounts, the capsules help make omega-3 intake more consistent. The supplement does not, however, replace a varied diet — it only fills a specific gap.

The formula is complemented by vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant: it protects the fatty acids from oxidation both inside the capsule and after ingestion.

If you take anticoagulants or other medicines that affect blood clotting, consult a specialist before you start taking it.
