Other Ingredients: Softgel Capsule [bovine gelatin (BSE-free), glycerin, enteric coating (pharmaceutical glaze, ethyl alcohol, ammonium hydroxide, glycerin, sunflower lecithin, medium chain triglycerides), water] and d-alpha Tocopherol (from sunflower). Contains fish (anchovies, sardines, tuna).
Not manufactured with yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, shellfish or sesame ingredients. Produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens.
High-DHA fish oil for brain, eye, and prenatal support.
BRAIN AND COGNITIVE DHA
DHA accounts for around 30% of structural fatty acids in grey matter. The 500mg dose supports both maintenance and active cognitive demand.
RETINAL HEALTH
DHA makes up around 50% of the structural fatty acid in the retina. Higher-DHA omega-3s are preferred for eye-focused supplementation.
PRENATAL AND LACTATION
DHA needs rise sharply in late pregnancy and lactation for fetal and infant brain development. 500mg/day is the typical clinical recommendation.
CARDIOVASCULAR SUPPORT
EPA + DHA at 750mg per softgel supports lipid profile, vessel function, and rhythm stability.

Primary Active Ingredients & Mechanisms
- DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) 500mg
- The dominant omega-3 fatty acid in brain and retinal tissue. Structural component of neuronal cell membranes, supports synaptic function, visual signal transduction, and anti-inflammatory eicosanoid synthesis.
- EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) 250mg
- The other major marine omega-3. Precursor to anti-inflammatory eicosanoids and resolvins, with broader cardiovascular and mood evidence.
- Fish Oil Concentrate 1000mg per Softgel
- From anchovy, sardine, and tuna. Stabilised with d-alpha Tocopherol (from sunflower) to protect the oil against oxidation.
Who is it for?
Pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, adults wanting cognitive and eye support, and anyone whose diet lacks fatty fish. Particularly useful for the DHA-priority use cases where standard omega-3 ratios fall short.
Why use it?
Most omega-3 supplements emphasise EPA. DHA-500 flips the ratio for brain, eye, and prenatal targets where DHA is the priority. The 500mg DHA dose matches clinical pregnancy and cognitive trial doses.
When to use it
Take 1 softgel daily with a fat-containing meal. Omega-3s are fat-soluble and absorption improves significantly in the fed state.
How to use it
1 softgel daily with a fat-containing meal. For cognitive or pregnancy targets, this dose suits; higher therapeutic doses can split to 2 softgels daily with morning and evening meals.

Strategic Cross-Sell
New Leaf Vitamin D3 And K2 Tablets 1000IU 180 Tabs
Omega-3 and vitamin D are both fat-soluble nutrients commonly under-consumed in modern diets. Pairing DHA-500 with D3+K2 covers the two most evidence-based daily supplements for adult health.
