Ultra Omega-3 Fish Oil: Premium Softgel Supplement by NOW Foods
With NOW Foods Ultra Omega-3 Softgel you receive high-quality omega-3 fatty acids that are easier to tolerate. Each serving contains 500 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 250 mg of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), essential omega-3 components your body cannot produce on its own.
What are omega-3 fatty acids and their role in optimal health?
Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids essential for our bodies. Our bodies cannot produce omega-3 on their own, so they must be taken in through food or supplementation. The most important omega-3 components include:
- α-linolenic acid (ALA)
- Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
- Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
α-linolenic acid (ALA)
α-linolenic acid (ALA) is a precursor that must first be converted into the active forms DHA and EPA. However, this conversion occurs only in very small amounts, which cannot meet the requirements for DHA and EPA supplementation.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA): Essential omega-3 for brain health
DHA is particularly important for brain activity and cognitive function. When consumed in adequate amounts, DHA takes on these critical functions in our bodies:
- DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function (at least 250 mg)
- DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision (at least 250 mg)
- DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal blood triglyceride levels (minimum 2g)
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA): Omega-3 for cardiovascular support
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) can help support blood flow and maintain cardiovascular wellness. The primary reason for supplementing with EPA is to maintain good heart and cardiovascular health.
How NOW Foods Ultra Omega-3 Supports Heart and Brain Health
The omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA found in NOW Foods Ultra Omega-3 have the following positive effects on our bodies:
- Support for normal heart function and cardiovascular wellness
- Help maintaining normal triglyceride levels in the blood
- Support for maintaining normal blood pressure

In what foods do omega-3 fatty acids occur naturally?
Because omega-3 fatty acids cannot be produced by our bodies, they must be taken in through food or supplementation. Foods rich in omega-3 include:
- Oily sea fish
- Herring, mackerel, salmon, tuna
- Flaxseed oil, canola oil, walnut oil
- Chia seeds, flax seeds, walnuts
When omega-3 intake is insufficient, high-quality omega-3 supplements like NOW Foods Ultra Omega-3 can effectively complement your diet and ensure adequate EPA and DHA consumption.
