Omega-3 (Fish Oil)

EPA/DHA supplement for cardiovascular and general health

Fish-oil omega-3 (EPA + DHA) supports cardiovascular health and may support eye and brain health. Doses vary widely — 1000 mg combined EPA+DHA daily is common for general use; higher doses by prescription for very high triglycerides.

How the pharmacy helps

We stock several concentrations. Read the EPA+DHA on the label, not just the total fish-oil mg.
