Fish Oils & Omegas
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats your body cannot produce on its own — meaning you can only get them through diet or supplementation. Found naturally in oily fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines, omega-3s (EPA and DHA) are among the most researched nutrients in the world, with proven benefits for heart, brain, joint, and eye health.

Fish Oils & Omegas — Frequently Asked Questions
Omega-3 (EPA & DHA) and Omega-6 are essential fatty acids your body cannot make on its own — you must get them from food or supplements. Omega-3s are found in oily fish and are known for their anti-inflammatory and heart-protective benefits. Omega-6s are found in vegetable oils and are important for skin and hormone health, though most people already get enough from their diet. Omega-9 is a non-essential fatty acid the body can produce, but it also provides cardiovascular benefits when consumed through diet or supplements. A Complete Omega supplement provides all three in one convenient dose.
For general health maintenance, most guidelines recommend at least 250–500mg of combined EPA and DHA per day. Higher doses (1,000mg+) are often recommended for specific health goals such as heart health, joint support, or mood. Always follow the dosage instructions on the product label and consult your pharmacist or GP if you have a specific health condition or are taking other medications.
Yes — taking fish oil supplements is safe if you wear contact lenses. In fact, omega-3s are often recommended to support eye health and may help with dry eye symptoms. Fish oil supplements are taken orally and do not interact with contact lens wear.
Most fish oil supplements contain fish-derived ingredients and are not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. If you follow a plant-based diet, look for algae-based omega-3 supplements, which provide EPA and DHA from the same marine source that fish obtain their omega-3s from — without the fish.
Fish oil is best taken with a meal that contains some fat, as this improves absorption of the omega-3 fatty acids and can also help reduce the chance of any fishy aftertaste or digestive discomfort. Many people find it easiest to take with breakfast or their main meal of the day.
