The Solgar Omega 3 700 is a dietary supplement in soft capsules, with concentrate of open sea fish oil. According to the manufacturer's table, four capsules provide 4800mg concentrate of fish oil, of which 1440mg is EPA and 960mg is DHA. By simple division, this corresponds to 1200mg oil, 360mg EPA and 240mg DHA per capsule. The package contains 120 soft capsules.
It is aimed at adults who do not eat fatty fish twice a week and want a constant source of long-chain omega 3. The large package and the dosage range from one to four capsules make it a practical choice for both daily maintenance and for those who want a higher daily intake of EPA and DHA, always within the limits set by the manufacturer.
Omega 3 is not a single nutrient. Alpha-linolenic acid from plant sources has a short carbon chain and the body converts it to EPA and DHA with low efficiency. Therefore, fish oil preparations provide the ready-made, long-chain forms directly. Thus, on the label it matters less how much oil there is in total, but how many mg of EPA and DHA it contains, and here the ratio is high: of the 4800mg of oil in four capsules, 2400mg are EPA and DHA.
The two acids do not play the same role. DHA is incorporated to a large extent into the membranes of nerve cells and the retina, and this underpins the approved claims that it contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision, with a daily intake of 250mg.* EPA together with DHA contributes to the normal function of the heart, also at 250mg per day, while for the maintenance of normal blood triglyceride levels, clearly higher daily intakes are required.*
According to the product presentation by Solgar itself, it is a preparation with high content of natural omega 3, which the company describes as the good fats that nourish the whole body, and which contains the important types EPA and DHA commonly found in fatty fish. The company states the following:
The above formulations are attributed to the producer and correspond to claims approved for the fatty acids EPA and DHA. Which of these thresholds are covered depends on how many capsules are taken daily.
The soft capsule shell is made of bovine gelatin with vegetable glycerine, which is important for those who avoid gelatin of animal origin.
It suits adults who eat fatty fish rarely, such as sardines, mackerel or salmon, and want to cover their dietary long-chain omega 3. It suits people who are interested in the normal function of the heart and choose a dose that comfortably covers the related threshold. It suits those who work many hours in front of a screen and are interested in maintaining normal vision. Finally, it suits anyone who prefers a large package at a lower cost per day of use.
