Are there any contraindications to omega 3?Updated 11 days ago

Allergies to Fish and Seafood: For people with this allergy, traditional fish oil supplements are contraindicated. In such cases, we recommend Algae Oil (omega-3 from seaweed), which is a safe and complete alternative for those allergic to fish.

Otherwise, at standard dosages (children approx. 250 mg, adults approx. 750 mg EPA/DHA), there are no known contraindications, and use is considered highly safe.

Caution is warranted only with high therapeutic doses (typically over 1,000 mg of omega-3 per day), which may slightly affect blood clotting. In such cases, we recommend:

• Before surgery or childbirth: It is advisable to consult a doctor or, as a precaution, discontinue high doses approximately 2–3 weeks before the scheduled procedure.
• Blood-Thinning Medications: If you are taking blood-thinning medications, consult your doctor about taking higher doses of omega-3.
