Omega-3 supplements — South Africa
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, same-day pickup in Gauteng.
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.
