Tips for Taking Fish Oil
Take with meals containing fat for better absorption
Split doses throughout the day to minimize side effects
Store in the refrigerator to prevent oxidation
Choose products with third-party purity testing (IFOS, NSF)
Consider triglyceride (TG) form for better absorption
Check for burp-free or enteric coated options
High doses of fish oil (>3g/day) may interact with blood thinners and some medications. Consult your healthcare provider before starting supplementation, especially if taking anticoagulants, before surgery, or if you have a bleeding disorder.
