NOW Foods DHA-500 Double Strength (90 or 180 softgels) is an omega-3 supplement with a high content of DHA and EPA, derived from fish oil. Each softgel contains a standardized ratio of these two polyunsaturated fatty acids.

The softgels fit well into a daily routine and are often chosen by people who want to supplement their diet with specific fatty acids from marine sources.

Frequently asked questions
Why are the softgels enteric-coated?
The enteric coating helps ensure that the capsule dissolves further along the digestive tract. This is often chosen by people who are sensitive to burping or a fishy taste after taking it.
Why should this supplement be taken with a meal?
Fish oil is a fat-soluble substance. Taking it with a meal—preferably one that contains fat—helps with absorption and is generally experienced as more pleasant, for example regarding digestion.
What are fatty acids in a dietary supplement?
Fatty acids are building blocks of fats and can be divided into saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. In supplement form, it is often about polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as omega-3.
What is the difference between omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids?
These names refer to the position of a double bond in the molecule of the fatty acid. Omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 belong to different groups of unsaturated fatty acids, each with a unique chemical structure.
What is the difference between DHA and EPA?
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) are both omega-3 fatty acids. DHA has a longer chain than EPA and is often specifically mentioned due to its typical presence in this type of supplement.
Why are DHA and EPA often offered together in one product?
These fatty acids naturally occur together in fish oil and are therefore often combined in a fixed ratio in supplements.
