Increased Concentration of Omega-3 with NOW® DHA-500

NOW Foods DHA-500 is a high-dosage omega-3 supplement that offers the benefits of both DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). With a full 500 mg of DHA per softgel capsule, this supplement provides a significant amount of this important omega-3 fatty acid.

DHA is an essential fatty acid that plays a crucial role in the body. It is particularly important for brain health, visual development, and cardiovascular function. Research shows that DHA may be particularly beneficial for the cardiovascular system by reducing the risk of coronary heart disease.

Purity and Quality

NOW Foods DHA-500 is manufactured under strict quality control standards to ensure purity and effectiveness. It undergoes a molecular distillation process to remove potentially harmful contaminants, such as PCBs, dioxins, mercury, and other heavy metals. This ensures that each softgel capsule is of the highest quality and safe to consume.

Additionally, NOW Foods DHA-500 is enteric-coated, which means the capsule is designed to resist breakdown in the stomach. This reduces the risk of nausea or acid reflux, which are common side effects of some fish oils.

Potential Research for Cardiovascular Health

According to the FDA, consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Research has shown positive associations between the intake of these omega-3 fatty acids and a decreased incidence of cardiovascular diseases. This means that NOW Foods DHA-500 can be a useful supplement to support cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of heart problems.

High Tolerance and Easy to Swallow

Many individuals may experience nausea or heartburn when taking fish oils. However, NOW Foods DHA-500 is enteric-coated and has a controlled odor, making it easier to tolerate for those with a sensitive stomach or sensitivity to fish oils.

The recommended dosage of NOW Foods DHA-500 is one softgel capsule per day with food to enhance absorption. Each package contains 180 capsules, providing a sufficient amount for three to six months of use, depending on the dosage.
