About this range and common questions
The full omega-3 range stocked by One Life Health — wild-caught fish oil, krill, algal. Tested for purity, dosed for results, vetted by our consultants. Free delivery over R400. Pickup options are shown at checkout.
For most people, our consultants would put a third-party-tested fish-oil omega-3 with at least 500–800mg combined EPA+DHA per dose in everyone's daily stack. Heart, brain, joints, mood — it's the most evidence-backed supplement we sell.
Vegan? Look for an algal oil with a real DHA dose, not flaxseed alone (flax is ALA, the conversion to EPA/DHA is poor).
On blood thinners? Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before taking high-dose omega.
Common questions
What's the difference between EPA and DHA?
EPA is the anti-inflammatory — best for heart, joints, mood. DHA is structural — best for brain and eyes. Most quality omega-3s contain both. Read the label for the combined EPA+DHA per dose, not just "omega-3".
How do I know an omega-3 is fresh and pure?
Look for IFOS-certified or third-party-tested brands. The fishy aftertaste means oxidation — a fresh omega-3 shouldn't repeat on you. Brands we trust: Natroceutics, NOW, Vivid Health, Metagenics, The Real Thing.
Fish oil vs krill vs algal?
Fish oil is the most studied and the best value per gram of EPA+DHA. Krill oil is more bioavailable per dose but expensive. Algal oil is the vegan-friendly option — look for real DHA content.
Can I take omega-3 with my chronic medication?
If you're on blood thinners (warfarin, aspirin) or about to have surgery, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before adding high-dose omega-3. On any other chronic medication, it's worth asking your pharmacist too.

From the counter
Graded by what's inside
Omega-3 is a label-reading category: two bottles that look identical can carry wildly different amounts of EPA and DHA, the fatty acids that actually matter. We stock the ones that state their numbers plainly — Natroceutics Omega-3 Pure & Wild and Biomax Purest Omega-3 lead the shelf — in triglyceride forms the body absorbs well.
The counter's buying rules
Add up EPA + DHA per capsule and compare that to the price — it's the only honest comparison. Freshness matters (rancid fish oil announces itself; quality brands test for it), and consistency beats occasional megadoses. Omega-3s contribute to normal heart and brain function — they're a long game, not a quick fix. If you're comparing two bottles, send photos of both labels to our WhatsApp consultants and we'll do the arithmetic with you, free.
