Omega-3 Fish Oil with EPA & DHA – 120 Softgels
Know what you’re choosing.
Fish oil supplies omega-3 fats called EPA and DHA. These fats become part of your cells and help your body send signals. This bottle contains 120 softgels.
Purified fish oil
Per two-softgel serving.
EPA + DHA
628 mg combined per serving.
60 servings
A 30-day supply at the label’s four-softgel daily directions.
EPA and DHA are included within the fish-oil amount, not added on top.
What makes this formula different?
Mehago states the EPA and DHA amounts separately: 364 mg EPA plus 264 mg DHA per two softgels, for 628 mg combined. These are part of the 2,000 mg fish-oil amount. This makes the label easier to compare with other fish oils; it is not evidence that the oil is more concentrated, better absorbed or independently certified.
How omega-3 works in your body
1. Your body absorbs the fats
After digestion, EPA and DHA from fish oil are absorbed and carried through your body.
2. They become part of cells
Your body uses omega-3 fats in the membranes—the thin outer layers—that surround your cells.
3. They help cells communicate
Omega-3 fats also help your body make signaling compounds. DHA is especially concentrated in the brain and eyes.
What the evidence means
These are normal roles of omega-3 fats. They do not mean this supplement treats heart disease or guarantees better memory. The amount of EPA and DHA per serving matters more than the total fish-oil weight; check the ingredient table below.

Is it a fit for your routine?
Considering fish oil? Compare EPA and DHA amounts, serving size, fish allergens and your usual diet. Ask a clinician before use if you take blood-thinning medicine or have a medical condition.
What should you expect?
You may not feel an immediate change. A supplement adds nutrients to your diet; it is not a quick energy boost. Results depend on the amount taken, your diet and the reason for using it.

Make an informed choice.
A simple way to review your daily omega-3 intake: check how much EPA and DHA your serving provides, then follow the bottle directions.
Fish oil vs. omega-3.
Fish oil is the source; EPA and DHA are specific omega-3 fats within it. Compare their listed amounts and serving sizes when comparing products—not just the total weight of fish oil.
Read the serving size first
For this label, the listed EPA and DHA amounts apply to two softgels. The suggested daily use is two servings, so serving count and days of supply are different.

The label lists the outer shell as gelatin, glycerin and purified water, and declares fish oil as an allergen. The fish species and gelatin source are not specified.
Is MEHAGO Omega 3 vegan?

Can I take this product during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
The reviewed product label says not to take it during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It also says the product is not intended for people under 18. Consult your clinician about an appropriate alternative.
What is omega-3 fish oil?
Fish oil supplies omega-3 fats, including EPA and DHA. Omega-3s are components of cell membranes and play roles in normal body function.
What is the difference between fish oil and omega-3?
Fish oil is an oil that contains omega-3 fats. The total fish-oil amount is not the same as the amount of EPA and DHA; check those entries separately on the label.
How much omega-3 should I take each day?
There is no single recommended EPA and DHA intake for everyone. Follow the product label and ask a qualified healthcare professional about your individual needs.
What are the possible side effects of fish oil?
Possible effects include an unpleasant taste, heartburn, nausea and digestive discomfort.
Can fish oil interact with medications?
Yes. High doses can increase bleeding concerns with anticoagulants such as warfarin. Ask your healthcare professional before combining supplements and medicines.
Is fish oil the same as cod liver oil?
No. Cod liver oil also contains vitamins A and D, in amounts that vary. Do not assume products are interchangeable.
Can omega-3 supplements replace eating fish?
Supplements do not provide all the nutrients in seafood. Benefits associated with eating fish are not necessarily the same as benefits from taking a supplement.
How many softgels are in a bottle?
The supplied MEHAGO Omega 3 front label lists 120 softgels.
