Eskimo-3 Fish Oil | 250 Capsules

Eskimo-3 provides omega-3 essential fatty acids EPA and DHA, which contribute to the normal function of the heart. DHA also contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision. These essential fats are particularly valuable for individuals who do not regularly consume oily fish. The beneficial effects are obtained with a daily intake of 250mg EPA and DHA combined for heart function, and 250mg DHA for brain function and vision.

Eskimo-3 combines EPA and DHA in a natural 3:2 ratio, similar to that found in oily fish. It also contains vitamin E and the patented Pufanox® antioxidant complex, designed to protect the fish oil from oxidation and maintain freshness. The fish oil is purity tested, sustainably sourced and supplied in convenient, easy-to-swallow mini-capsules.

Each serving of three Eskimo-3 mini-capsules provides 525mg of total omega-3 fatty acids, including 240mg EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and 150mg DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). It also supplies 4.5mg of vitamin E, equivalent to 37.5% of the Nutrient Reference Value (NRV).

The manufacturer's recommended adult dosage is three capsules, taken one to three times daily with meals, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Taking the capsules with food can help improve tolerance. Always follow the recommended directions and seek professional guidance if you are unsure about the appropriate dosage.

Yes. According to Metagenics Eskimo-3 capsules are suitable for children aged 4–12 years at a recommended dosage of three capsules, one to two times daily. As the product contains fish oil and the capsules must be swallowed whole, parents should ensure their child can safely swallow capsules and consult a healthcare professional when necessary.

Yes. Eskimo-3 uses sustainably sourced fish oil certified by Friend of the Sea, an independent sustainability certification programme. The oil undergoes purity testing, and its patented Pufanox® antioxidant complex helps protect against oxidation, supporting product stability and freshness.

Pufanox® is a patented antioxidant complex specifically designed to help protect delicate omega-3 fatty acids from oxidation. Fish oils are naturally sensitive to exposure to oxygen, which can affect their freshness and quality. By incorporating Pufanox® alongside vitamin E, Eskimo-3 helps maintain the stability of its fish oil throughout its shelf life.

No. Eskimo-3 contains fish oil and bovine-derived gelatin, so it is unsuitable for vegetarians and vegans. It also contains soya lecithin and should be avoided by individuals with fish or soya allergies unless advised otherwise by their healthcare professional. Always check the full ingredient list before use.

Eskimo-3 can be taken alongside many commonly used nutritional supplements. However, individuals taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication, such as warfarin or apixaban, should consult their doctor or pharmacist before use. Anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding, taking prescribed medication or preparing for surgery should also seek professional advice before starting supplementation.

Store Eskimo-3 in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, the manufacturer recommends using the capsules within six months. A bottle of 250 capsules lasts approximately 83 days when taking three capsules daily, 41 days when taking six capsules daily, or 27 days when taking nine capsules daily.
