Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How long does one bottle last?

At 1 softgel daily, a 100-count bottle lasts 100 days (3+ months).

2. Is this suitable for vegetarians?

No. The softgel is gelatin-based. Vegetarians should choose algae-based omega-3.

3. Why is the EPA/DHA ratio important?

EPA (180mg) targets inflammation, while DHA (120mg) prioritizes brain/eye health. This balance supports overall wellness.

4. Can I take this with other supplements?

Yes, but avoid combining with high-dose vitamin E or blood-thinning herbs (e.g., garlic, ginkgo) without medical advice.

5. Does it require refrigeration?

No. Store in a cool, dry place (<25°C). Refrigeration is optional but extends shelf life.

6. How does this benefit Kenyan users?

• Addresses low fish intake in landlocked regions.
• Counters inflammation from urban pollution (e.g., Nairobi).
• Supports cardiovascular health amid rising lifestyle diseases in Kenya.

7. Is it safe for children?

Consult a pediatrician. Children typically require lower doses (e.g., 1 softgel every 2 days).

8. Can I open the softgel and mix with food?

Not recommended. The enteric coating ensures targeted absorption and prevents reflux.

• Adults prioritizing long-term heart/brain health (especially over 40).
• Individuals with joint inflammation or stiffness.
• Those with limited fish consumption (common in non-coastal Kenyan areas).
