Why was Ultra Fish Oils developed?
Ultra Fish Oils were created to meet the highest quality standards our customers expect. These premium-grade oils are a rich source of the essential Omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, which help support your overall wellbeing. DHA contributes to normal vision and brain function, while both DHA and EPA help maintain normal heart function.
What are Omega-3 fatty acids, and why are they important?
DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) and EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) are essential Omega-3 fats your body can’t produce efficiently on its own. That’s why it’s important to get them through your diet – usually from fish – or from a supplement like Ultra Omega-3 to help meet your daily needs.
Can’t I just eat oily fish?
Eating oily fish at least twice a week is part of a balanced diet and recommended by health experts. However, concerns around pollutants such as mercury and dioxins in some fish have led many people to seek purified alternatives. Ultra Fish Oils offer a clean, safe and effective way to enjoy the benefits of Omega-3 – without the worry.
How is Ultra Fish Oils purified?
Our fish oils are responsibly sourced from sustainable fisheries in highly regulated environments. To ensure purity and quality, every batch undergoes our advanced Opti-Pure™ purification process, which carefully refines and filters the oil.
Who is Ultra Fish Oils for?
These supplements are ideal for men, women, and children who want to support their heart, brain, and vision health. As oily fish consumption declines, most people can benefit from a high-quality Omega-3 supplement like Ultra Fish Oils as a nutritional safeguard.
Can I take Ultra Fish Oils if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, we recommend specially formulated supplements such as Pregnacare® Plus. It includes tailored nutritional support alongside Omega-3 with 300mg DHA, designed specifically for this important time.
How many capsules are in one pack?
Each pack contains 60 capsules, and the recommended intake is 2 per day, taken with a meal.
How should I take them?
Take two capsules a day, ideally with a meal and a cold drink like water, milk, or juice. This helps with nutrient absorption and minimises any fishy aftertaste. We’ve also added a subtle orange-flavoured shell to help mask odour.
What’s the best way to store them?
Keep your capsules in a cool, dry place below 25°C, away from direct heat or sunlight. And as always, store them out of reach of children.
Can I take Ultra Fish Oils alongside other medications?
In general, Ultra Fish Oils can be taken with most medicines as they are free from drugs and hormones. However, if you’re taking any prescribed medication or have a medical condition, it’s always best to check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Can I use Ultra Fish Oils with other Vitabiotics products?
Yes, Ultra Fish Oils are designed to complement most other Vitabiotics supplements.
Is Ultra Fish Oils suitable for vegetarians?
No, this product isn’t suitable for vegetarians as it contains fish oil in a pharmaceutical-grade gelatin capsule. While it is possible to get Omega-3 from plant sources, fish oil provides a more direct and reliable source of DHA and EPA.
What nutrients are included?
Ultra Omega-3 contains high-quality Fish Oil (providing DHA & EPA) and Vitamin E, which helps protect the cells from oxidative stress and keeps the oil fresh. For full ingredient details, see the Nutritional Information tab.
Struggle with tablets or capsules? Here’s some help:
You’re not alone – many people find it tricky to swallow capsules. Here are some tips:
Try swallowing the capsule with thicker liquids like yogurt or a smoothie.
Alternatively, chew some food (like banana), pop the capsule in your mouth just before swallowing, then follow with a drink.
For those who prefer, breaking tablets (not capsules) into smaller pieces with plenty of water can also help.
What if some vitamins are above 100% NRV? Is that safe?
Yes, it’s safe. The NRV (Nutrient Reference Value) is set to prevent basic deficiencies, but higher levels can offer additional health benefits. All Vitabiotics products are carefully formulated using the latest research, and we always stay within safe upper limits.
We never use mega-doses – instead, we focus on sensible, balanced amounts that work in harmony to support your health. This approach has been backed by nutritional experts for many years.
