The Solgar Omega-3 700 Double Strength is a dietary supplement in soft capsules with fish oil concentrate. Four soft capsules provide 4,800mg fish oil concentrate, of which 1,440mg EPA and 960mg DHA. The package contains 60 soft capsules.
It is aimed at adults who rarely eat fatty fish, people who want high EPA and DHA per capsule to take fewer capsules, and those who monitor their blood lipids with their doctor.
Omega-3s are a family of polyunsaturated fatty acids. In fish oil supplements, the two that count are EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid, and DHA, docosahexaenoic acid. The human body can convert plant alpha-linolenic acid to EPA and DHA, but the conversion rate is low, so dietary recommendations focus on fatty fish and fish oil preparations.
DHA is a structural component of membranes in the brain tissue and retina, while EPA participates in different metabolic pathways. The approved claims follow this distinction: EPA and DHA together contribute to the normal function of the heart with 250mg per day, while DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and vision, also with 250mg per day*. The double strength designation refers precisely to the concentration: more active fatty acids per capsule compared to a simple fish oil.
According to the product presentation by Solgar itself:
The above statements are attributed to the producer and correspond to approved claims for EPA and DHA, each under its own conditions of daily intake. The product is not intended for the prevention, treatment, or cure of any disease.
The soft capsule shell contains bovine gelatin and vegetable glycerin, so the product is not suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It comes from fish, so it is not suitable for those with fish allergies.
It suits adults who do not consume fatty fish twice a week, as recommended by dietary guidelines. It suits those who want a high dose of EPA and DHA without taking many capsules. It interests people who monitor their blood lipids with their doctor, as well as those who want to meet their DHA needs.
The product is a dietary supplement, does not replace a medical diagnosis or treatment, and does not replace a balanced diet.
