NOW Omega-3 Fish Oil Review: Enteric-Coated Softgels
Compare the enteric-coated fish oil formula, EPA and DHA amounts, animal sources, and how it differs from other NOW omega options.
NOW Omega-3 Fish Oil Review: Enteric-Coated Softgels
NOW Omega-3 Fish Oil offers a conventional fish-oil concentration in an enteric-coated softgel. It is a practical format to compare if you prefer capsules to liquid oil. The useful buying distinction is the EPA and DHA supplied, not simply the large fish-oil number on the front of the bottle.
Key ingredients and roles
- Fish oil: EPA and DHA
Supplies marine omega fatty acids; the listed amounts are part of the oil, not extra ingredients added on top.
- Gelatin, glycerin, water and enteric coating
Form the softgel and its coating. The coating includes glaze, alcohol, ammonium hydroxide, lecithin and medium-chain triglycerides.
- d-alpha tocopherol
A sunflower-derived supporting antioxidant ingredient in the formula.

Quick Verdict
Consider it for the coated softgel format; compare cost per EPA-plus-DHA amount with more concentrated alternatives.
Ingredients and Formula
The current label lists 1000 mg fish oil per softgel, including 180 mg EPA and 120 mg DHA: 300 mg combined, not 1000 mg of EPA and DHA. Other omega products linked on this page have different formulas; do not apply these values to DHA-500, Ultra Omega, or mixed-oil options.
Label Directions
The label describes one softgel with food, one to three times daily. Follow the received package and professional advice; swallowing a coated capsule is different from opening or chewing it.
Important Considerations
Contains fish and bovine gelatin. Review suitability with a clinician if pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medicines, or managing a condition. A coating does not guarantee freedom from fishy aftertaste or digestive discomfort.
Quick Questions
Is it vegan?
No: both the oil and softgel have animal sources.
Our Take
Choose by concentration, capsule preference, and the delivered price. Confirm the bottle count before ordering; a higher total oil amount alone does not establish a stronger omega supplement.
