Omega oils are fats that help you top up essential fatty acids, especially omega-3. In this collection, you can choose between omega-3 fish oil (rich in EPA and DHA) or organic flaxseed oil (omega-3 as ALA, plus omega-6 and omega-9). The best option depends on your goals, diet, and how much omega-3 you want per serving.

How to choose

• Pick your omega-3 type: Fish oil provides EPA and DHA, while flaxseed oil provides ALA (which the body can convert in small amounts).
• Check potency per serving: Compare how much omega-3 you get each day. Higher-strength options can help you reach your target with fewer capsules.
• Decide on plant-based vs fish-based: If you prefer a plant-based omega oil, flaxseed oil is the go-to. If you want direct EPA and DHA, choose fish oil.
• Comfort matters: If you are sensitive to aftertaste, look for fish oil that is deodorised (this collection includes natural orange oil deodorising).
• Omega-3 only vs omega-3-6-9: If you want omega-3 plus omega-6 and omega-9 in one oil, flaxseed oil is the match.

• What will happen if I take omega-3 fish oil every day?

• Is fish oil or flaxseed oil better?
  Fish oil provides EPA and DHA directly, while flaxseed oil provides ALA (plus omega-6 and omega-9). If you want a plant-based omega oil, flaxseed is a strong choice; if you want EPA and DHA, fish oil fits best.

  Yes, many people combine them to cover different omega profiles. Keep servings sensible, take with meals, and follow the product directions on the label.
• When should I take omega oil?
  Take omega oils with food, ideally a meal that contains some fat, to improve comfort. If you notice reflux, try taking capsules mid-meal or splitting your serving.
• How do I choose a higher-strength omega-3?
  Compare the EPA and DHA amounts per serving on the label rather than only looking at total fish oil. Higher potency can mean fewer capsules to reach your preferred daily intake.
• How should I store omega oils?
  Store them away from heat and direct light and keep the lid tightly closed. If the oil smells strongly rancid, stop using it and replace it.
