ATC Fish Oil 1000mg Softgel Capsule

Description

Indications

A concentrated source of Omega-3 fatty acids, specifically Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). It is indicated for:

• Cardiovascular Health: Supporting healthy cholesterol levels and helping to maintain normal blood pressure and triglyceride levels.

• Brain Function: Supporting cognitive health, memory, and focus.

• Anti-Inflammatory Support: Assisting in the reduction of joint inflammation and stiffness associated with physical exertion or age.

• Visual Health: Supporting the maintenance of normal vision and retinal health.

Dosage and Administration

• Adults: Take 1 softgel capsule two to three times daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

• Administration: Swallow the softgel whole with a full glass of water.

• With Food: It is highly recommended to take fish oil during or immediately after a meal. This significantly improves absorption and helps prevent the “fishy aftertaste” or burping often associated with fish oil supplements.

Adverse Reactions

ATC Fish Oil is generally safe for most people. However, some may experience:

• Gastrointestinal: “Fishy” burps, bad breath, heartburn, nausea, or loose stools (diarrhea).

• Dermatological: Rare instances of skin rash or itching.

• Other: A temporary metallic taste in the mouth.

Important Safety Precautions

• Bleeding Risk: High doses of fish oil (usually over 3,000 mg per day) may have a mild blood-thinning effect. Consult a doctor if you are taking anticoagulants (like Warfarin or Aspirin) or have a scheduled surgery.

• Allergy Alert: Use with caution if you have a known allergy to fish or shellfish.

• Purity & Quality: Store in a cool, dry place (below 30°C) away from direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly closed to prevent the oil from becoming rancid (oxidized).

• Pregnancy and Nursing: Omega-3 is vital for fetal brain and eye development; however, consult a healthcare provider to ensure the dosage is appropriate for your specific needs.

• Diabetes: Individuals with diabetes should monitor blood sugar levels, as high doses of fish oil can slightly increase fasting blood glucose in some cases.
