BodyWorld
Essential Omega-3 180 capsules

BodyWorld Essential Omega-3 replenishes the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA, which the body cannot produce on its own. EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function, while DHA also supports the maintenance of normal brain function and vision. One serving (2 capsules) contains 180 mg of EPA and 120 mg of DHA from pure fish oil in its natural triglyceride form. The supplement is enriched with vitamin E, which protects cells from oxidative stress. It is suitable for athletes and the general population looking to meet their daily omega-3 requirements.

The recommended dosage is 2 capsules 2 to 3 times a day, meaning 4 to 6 capsules daily. A beneficial effect is achieved with a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA combined, which is easily met even with a lower dosage. It is recommended to take the capsules with food, as dietary fats support the absorption of fish oil. The pack contains 180 capsules, which lasts for 30 days at a maximum dosage of 6 capsules per day, or up to 45 days at a minimum dosage of 4 capsules per day.

The exact time of day is not crucial; it is more important to split the daily dose into 2 to 3 portions throughout the day, such as with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Taking it with a meal containing fat improves the absorption of the fish oil, which in this product is in a natural triglyceride form with higher bioavailability than the standard ethyl ester form. Regularity and splitting the dose are more important for achieving benefits than the specific time of intake.

Yes, the product contains fish and fish products, as the primary raw material is pure fish oil. This information is stated in the ingredients and allergen table. The capsule shell is made from gelatine, glycerol, and purified water, so it is of animal origin. People with fish or seafood allergies should not take this supplement. If in doubt, we recommend consulting a doctor before starting use.

No, this product is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians. The source of EPA and DHA is pure fish oil, and the capsule is made from gelatine, which is of animal origin. Those excluding animal products from their diet should look for plant-based alternatives, such as omega-3 from algae oil. BodyWorld Essential Omega-3 is intended primarily for the general population and athletes without these specific dietary restrictions.

The triglyceride form used in BodyWorld Essential Omega-3 is the natural form found directly in fish and is absorbed more efficiently by the body than the common ethyl ester form produced through chemical processing to concentrate the oil. Higher bioavailability means that a larger proportion of active ingredients enters the body from the same amount of EPA and DHA. While the ethyl ester form is cheaper to produce, its bioavailability is lower, which is a common differentiator between budget and high-quality omega-3 supplements.

The main difference lies in the form of fatty acids and the added value of vitamin E. While many cheaper supplements use the ethyl ester form with lower bioavailability, this product contains EPA and DHA in the natural triglyceride form. Additionally, each serving contains 5 mg of vitamin E, which protects cells from oxidative stress while simultaneously stabilising the fish oil itself. The 180-capsule pack also offers longer-lasting supply compared to smaller packs common in competing products.

Yes, omega-3 fatty acids are commonly combined with proteins, creatine, vitamins, or minerals with no known interactions. The product does not contain stimulants or substances that would prevent concurrent use with other supplements. However, if you are taking blood-thinning medication or other prescription drugs, we recommend consulting a doctor, as high doses of omega-3 can affect blood clotting. A standard dosage of 4 to 6 capsules daily is considered safe for healthy adults.

When adhering to the recommended dosage of 2 capsules 2 to 3 times a day, there are no commonly reported side effects. As with other fish oils, some people may occasionally experience mild fishy burps or a feeling of fullness, especially at higher doses on an empty stomach; this can be avoided by taking the capsules with a meal. People with fish allergies should not take the product at all. Consulting a doctor is recommended when taking blood-clotting medication, or during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

One serving, which is 2 capsules, contains 180 mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and 120 mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) from 1000 mg of fish oil. With the recommended dosage of 4 to 6 capsules per day, the body receives 360 to 540 mg of EPA and 240 to 360 mg of DHA daily. A beneficial effect on normal heart function is achieved with a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA combined, which this product clearly exceeds.

Vitamin E, specifically in the form of D-alpha-tocopherol, contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. In the context of omega-3 supplements, vitamin E also plays a functional role as an antioxidant that helps stabilise the unsaturated fatty acids in the fish oil, protecting them from oxidation. One serving (2 capsules) contains 5 mg of vitamin E. This combination is common in high-quality omega-3 products, as unsaturated fats are naturally more susceptible to oxidation than other types of fats.

The pack contains 90 servings of 2 capsules. Following the recommended dosage of 2 capsules twice a day (4 capsules total) will last approximately 45 days, while 2 capsules three times a day (6 capsules total) will last approximately 30 days. It is a practical, large-volume pack suitable for longer-term regular use without the need for frequent reordering.

The product is unflavoured; the capsules contain pure fish oil without added aromas or sweeteners. The capsule shell itself is made of gelatine, glycerol, and purified water and serves only as a container, preventing direct contact with the taste of the fish oil during swallowing. If the capsule is swallowed whole, most users do not detect a strong fishy taste or smell, which are typical of oil in liquid form taken directly from a spoon.
