Best way to take Omega-3 supplements

What is the time when Omega-3s are best assimilated? Most importantly: is it preferable to take the tablets together or at different times of the day? Thank you again and best regards.





Dear Valeria,

I recommend that you take the pearls just before a main meal to better promote absorption and digestibility. 

It can be taken in a single administration or at different times of the day as needed and without any problem. In addition, to avoid any possible aftertaste, it is preferable to store the capsules in the refrigerator.



Sincerely. 


Dr. Rosaria Ramondino
