Overview
•Salmon oil provides omega-3s at dosages (600mg total EPA/DHA) well within safe limits (up to 3g daily per NIH), with low risk of bleeding for healthy adults.
•Astaxanthin at 2mg is safe and may enhance omega-3 stability, but monitor for mild GI upset in sensitive individuals.
•No major drug interactions beyond blood thinners like warfarin; consult physician if on anticoagulants due to EPA/DHA content.
•Suitable for adults; not recommended for children under 12 or pregnant/nursing women without medical advice due to fish oil allergen potential.
•Sourced from wild-caught salmon with third-party testing for purity, minimizing heavy metal contamination risks per Garden of Life standards.
•Long-term use supports health benefits with minimal side effects, though fishy aftertaste possible despite lemon flavoring.
