Omega 3 Epax®

Our dietary supplement is formulated with fish oil. It is therefore not suitable for vegetarians and vegans. If you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, we recommend that you choose plant-based sources of omega-3, such as flaxseed oil.

Whether you need daily Omega-3 supplementation depends on your diet. If you consume little to no oily fish or plant-based Omega-3 sources, a daily supplement may be beneficial.

A consistent daily intake, whether through food or supplementation, helps meet your needs with no time limit, as long as the dosage is appropriate.

We recommend taking 4 capsules of omega 3 per day with a large glass of water, preferably during a meal to improve the absorption of fatty acids. For optimal effect, it is advisable to consume them regularly over the long term.

DHA plays a fundamental role in the brain and visual development of the fetus. During pregnancy, needs increase significantly, as this fatty acid accumulates in the baby's brain and retina, particularly during the third trimester.

Our Epax® omega-3s provide 600 mg of DHA per daily dose, a high dosage to cover DHA needs during this period. The molecular distillation purification process guarantees a pure oil free of heavy metals and contaminants.

Essential precaution: during pregnancy or breastfeeding, taking an omega-3 dietary supplement should always be done under medical advice. Consult your doctor before starting any supplementation.

It is perfectly possible for you to give omega 3 to a child, as omega 3 is beneficial for their health. However, the recommended dose varies depending on the age of the child. It is important to consult a health professional before giving an omega 3 supplement to a child.

Yes, it is possible to give omega 3 to a child from the age of 4, omega 3 being beneficial for their health. The recommended daily doses (RDI) are as follows:

• From 4 to 10 years: 2 capsules per day.
• From 10 to 17 years old: 2 to 3 capsules per day.

Note that before giving an omega 3 supplement to a child, it is advisable to consult a health professional.

An omega-3 deficiency can manifest as:

• Dry and irritated skin
• Mental fatigue, problems with concentration and memory
• Mood swings, anxiety, or depressive tendencies
• Brittle hair and nails
• Vision problems

If several of these signs apply to you, it may be beneficial to increase your omega-3 intake through diet or supplementation.

Recommendations vary by source, but ANSES (French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety) recommends around 250 mg of EPA and DHA per day for adults.

For optimal benefits, 1000 mg to 2000 mg per day (2 to 4 capsules of our supplement) is often recommended.

The link between omega-3s EPA, DHA and heart function is widely documented. This is why EFSA, the European Food Safety Authority, recognizes that EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function from 250 mg per day (1)(2).

A meta-analysis published in EClinicalMedicine in 2021, covering 38 randomized controlled trials and more than 149,000 participants, associated omega-3 supplementation with a reduction in cardiovascular mortality and coronary events (4). 

A second meta-analysis, published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, confirms these observations and also highlights a dose-dependent effect: the more EPA and DHA intake increases, the more pronounced the cardiovascular benefits (7).

With 800 mg of EPA and 600 mg of DHA per daily dose, our Epax® omega-3 provides more than five times the threshold recognized by EFSA for the maintenance of normal heart function. A high dosage that fully exploits the dose-dependent effect observed in the scientific literature.
