NOW DHA-500 Omega-3 Fish Oil Softgels — 500 mg DHA / 250 mg EPA, Molecularly Distilled, Enteric-Coated (180 Softgels)

NOW DHA-500 is a molecularly distilled, enteric-coated fish oil softgel delivering 500 mg DHA and 250 mg EPA per softgel to support brain and cardiovascular wellness as part of a healthy diet.*

This high-concentration omega-3 supplement from NOW is formulated to provide double the DHA per softgel compared with many standard formulas, using molecular distillation to reduce contaminants and an enteric coating to minimize aftertaste and reflux. Each lot is tested for PCBs, dioxins, mercury and other heavy metals, and the softgels are produced in NOW’s GMP-certified facilities under strict quality controls.

How does the enteric coating change the experience?

The enteric coating is designed to let the softgel pass through the stomach and dissolve in the small intestine, which can reduce fishy burps and stomach discomfort for many users. This makes high-dose DHA tolerable for those sensitive to typical fish oil reflux.

• Delays dissolution until intestinal pH is reached
• Reduces common fishy aftertaste and burping
• Improves tolerability for sensitive stomachs

What quality controls and safety tests are performed?

NOW subjects this fish oil concentrate to molecular distillation and third-party testing to lower contaminant levels and verify purity. The product is manufactured in ISO/IEC-accredited labs and carries GMP certification, with classification labels like Non-GMO, Kosher, Halal and Keto-friendly.

• Molecular distillation removes many environmental toxins
• Third-party screening for mercury, PCBs and dioxins
• Produced in GMP-audited, ISO/IEC-accredited labs

How much EPA and DHA are in each softgel and how to take them?

Each softgel provides 500 mg of DHA and 250 mg of EPA, offering a DHA-forward profile for users focused on supporting cognitive and cardiovascular dietary goals. Follow the package directions for serving size and consult a healthcare professional when combining with other supplements or medications.

• 500 mg DHA per softgel; 250 mg EPA per softgel
• Enteric-coated to improve tolerance
• Recommended dosing on the label; consult your clinician for personalized guidance

What should I expect in terms of color, smell, and storage?

Natural color variations can occur between batches due to raw material differences; an odor-controlled, enteric-coated softgel minimizes sensory issues. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep the bottle tightly closed to maintain potency.

• May show natural color variation between batches
• Enteric coating reduces smell and aftertaste
• Store in a cool, dry location; keep container sealed
