Always consult your health practitioner if in doubt.
RiskLow Risk
Overview
•All ingredients are GRAS with dosages well below safe upper limits (EPA/DHA <3g daily); enteric coating reduces common GI side effects like reflux.
•Molecularly distilled to remove contaminants (PCBs, mercury, heavy metals); third-party tested for purity, minimizing contamination risks.
•Potential mild interactions with blood thinners (e.g., warfarin, aspirin) due to antiplatelet effects of omega-3s; consult physician if on anticoagulants.
•Likely safe for pregnancy and nursing at recommended doses, but consult healthcare provider; may support fetal brain development without mercury concerns.
•Contains fish allergens (anchovies, sardines); avoid if allergic to fish; no other major allergens like gluten, soy, or shellfish.
•Long-term use is safe for healthy adults; monitor for rare bleeding risks at higher doses, though this product's 1-2 softgels stay within low-risk range.
