Omega-3
EPA and DHA
The daily serving as stated on the current product page.
Easiest at a fixed time, for example with lunch.
Take it with food that contains fat.
What counts is the amount of EPA and DHA, not the mass of fish oil. You will find both on the label.
If you take medicines that affect blood clotting, or have a procedure ahead of you, agree the use with your doctor. Check the allergens on the label.
Worth knowing
When should I take the capsules, morning or evening?
Pick a meal with fat, at a time that suits you. What counts is regularity, not the hour or the gap from training.More in the guide (in Polish): Omega-3: EPA i DHA, ryby w diecie i porcja produktu
What if the capsules give me fishy burps?
Take them during a meal. You can also split the daily serving across two meals. If the symptoms are strong or persist, stop taking them and have the cause checked.More in the guide (in Polish): Omega-3 przy dużym obciążeniu: co wiadomo, a czego nie
Should I take them on days without training?
Yes. This is a daily schedule, independent of your training plan.
How long before there is an effect?
EPA and DHA build into tissues over weeks. A check after 8 to 12 weeks shows the direction of change. It is not a date by which you will feel a difference.More in the guide (in Polish): Omega-3 Index: co mierzy i czego nie mówi o sportowcu
Should I increase the serving under heavy load or after an injury?
Do not increase it on your own. Two capsules give 1.5 g of EPA and DHA, three give 2.25 g, and studies after injuries used 3 to 4 g. Agree a plan for such a period with a specialist.More in the guide (in Polish): Omega-3 przy dużym obciążeniu: co wiadomo, a czego nie
Do I still need to eat fish if I take the capsules?
Fish also gives protein and nutrients a capsule does not replace. If you eat oily fish regularly, the need for extra EPA and DHA may be smaller.More in the guide (in Polish): Omega-3: EPA i DHA, ryby w diecie i porcja produktu
Can I take them all year, without breaks?
Judge how long to take them by your diet and health. Training alone is not a reason to take the capsules all year round or to increase the serving.More in the guide (in Polish): Omega-3 Index: co mierzy i czego nie mówi o sportowcu
How should I store them?
Away from heat, light and moisture, in a tightly closed pack. The temperature and the period after opening are on the label.More in the guide (in Polish): Omega-3: EPA i DHA, ryby w diecie i porcja produktu
