Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Ultra Omega-3 enteric coated?
The enteric coating and odor control help the softgel move past the stomach before releasing, which can reduce the fishy burps and reflux some people get from standard fish oil.
Should I take it with food?
Yes, NOW recommends taking Ultra Omega-3 with food.
How is this different from Tri-3D Omega?
Ultra Omega-3 is a higher-potency EPA/DHA blend without added vitamin D, while Tri-3D Omega combines a lower EPA/DHA dose with 1,000 IU of vitamin D-3 in the same softgel.
Is this suitable for someone with a fish allergy?
No, it contains fish (anchovies and sardines) and is not manufactured with other common allergens, but it is processed in a facility that also handles them.
Can I take it while pregnant or nursing?
Consult your physician before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
