VitalOils^™ FAQ

Q: Aren't all fish oils supplements the same, does the brand really matter?
A: Yes, the brand does matter. A quality fish oils supplement like VitalOils^™ should contain only pharmaceutical grade fish oil that has been assayed by a truly independent laboratory that is monitored by the FDA. It should certainly be molecularly distilled, which means it has gone through a process to reduce pollutants. In addition, many people find fish oil supplements difficult to digest. Therefore, enteric coated soft gels can help support digestion and enhance absorption.

Q: There are many fish oil supplements on the market. How do I know what the optimum dose is?
A: Yes, the dosing can be confusing. Many brands will claim to contain 1,000 milligrams of fish oil, but may not provide the optimum dose of EPA and DHA. Check the Supplement Facts to determine just how much EPA and DHA is contained in each serving.VitalOils^™ provide 600 milligrams of EPA and 400 milligrams of DHA in just two easy-to-swallow softgels. This makes it convenient, and cost effective to meet the American Heart Association's recommendation of 1,000 mg of total EPA and DHA daily.1

Q: I don't have any specific health issues, should I still take fish oil supplements?
A: Omega-3 fatty acids derived from fish oils offer numerous health benefits. Thousands of scientific and clinical studies have been conducted on this remarkable health promoting fat and its beneficial impact on overall health.* Since the typical American diet, as a whole, lacks sufficient omega-3 fatty acids, many experts now recommend taking a daily fish oil supplement.

Q: I can never tolerate fish oil supplements. As soon as I take them my stomach gets upset and they repeat on me. How isVitalOils^™ different?
A: Each VitalOils^™ soft gel is enteric coated for easier digestion. This means it has a specific coating that allows it to dissolve in the small intestines, providing greater absorption and less chance of stomach upset or irritation.
