Ask the Pharmacist

Is there an Omega-3 supplement similar to Eskim?

Dear Margaret, 

our dietary supplement Meaquor contains highly concentrated EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids-900mg per capsule-and offers savings for those who need to supplement with high-dose omega-3s

Although Meaquor is similar in composition, it should be clarified at the outset that Eskim is a drug, while Meaquor is a dietary supplement, qhence their scope of application is quite distinct: the drug finds use in the treatment and prevention of diseases, while the supplement has exclusively nutritional and physiological effects to promote the regular performance of the body's functions.

The composition of Meaquor consists of soft gelatin capsules of highly purified and concentrated fish oil, with an omega-3 fatty acid EPA and DHA content of 900 mg per capsule. The omega-3 In Meaquor, they are present in the form of fatty acid ethyl esters (EE).

The amount per capsule in Meaquor is 500 mg of EPA and 400 mg of DHA.

This is probably the highest EPA and DHA dosage per capsule on the market for an omega-3 fatty acid supplement. In accordance with your doctor's advice, due to its EPA and DHA omega-3 content, you may use Meaquor 's product in the following cases:

  • For the maintenance of normal blood triglyceride levels with the intake of 2,000 mg of EPA and DHA per day - 2 capsules of Meaquor provide 1,800mg;
  • For maintaining normal blood pressure with daily intake of 3,000 mg of EPA + DHA-3 Meaquor capsules provide 2700mg;
  • To maintain normal heart function with a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA + DHA - 1 capsule of Meaquor provides 900mg;
  • To maintain physiological brain and visual function with a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA - 1 capsule of Meaquor provides about 400mg, more than enough.

I remain available for any further questions.
