Ask the Pharmacist

At what time of day is it best to take Omega-3?

Dear Diana, 


it is preferable to take the Omega-3 beads before a main meal in order to promote the absorption and digestibility of the product.


Omega-3 intake can be done at one time or at different times of the day, also depending on personal needs. 


Omega-3 supplementation is recommended for period of at least 2-3 months, which is the time needed for the treatment to become effective. Such can then be prolonged without the occurrence of side effects. 


Sincerely. 


Dr. Rosaria Ramondino Pharmacist and Pharmaceutical Chemist
