Fish Oil

Omega-3 EPA & DHA — Heart, Brain and Eye Support

Elevated triglycerides, brain fog, or low fish intake may signal insufficient omega-3. Fish Oil (น้ำมันปลา) delivers EPA and DHA from deep-sea fish, supporting cardiovascular, cognitive and visual health.

💊 Available as standard and high-concentration softgels. Recommended EPA+DHA: 250–1,000 mg/day. Consult a pharmacist for the right strength.

🚚 Fast, confidential delivery — plain packaging with no product names on the outside, delivered safely to your door.

Fish Oil (น้ำมันปลา) is a dietary supplement extracted from deep-sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines. It supplies EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) — omega-3 fatty acids the body cannot synthesise efficiently and must obtain from diet or supplements.

📊 Key clinical statistics:

  • EPA+DHA at 1,000–4,000 mg/day may reduce elevated triglycerides by 15–30%
  • DHA constitutes approximately 40% of polyunsaturated fats in brain tissue and 60% in the retina
  • The American Heart Association recommends fatty fish at least twice per week, or fish oil supplementation for those with low fish intake

💊 At Intimo Life, Fish Oil (น้ำมันปลา) supports two main areas:

  • Cardiovascular health — helps support healthy triglyceride levels and heart function
  • Brain and eye health — DHA is a structural component of the brain and retina, supporting memory and visual acuity

⚠️ Fish Oil is a dietary supplement, not a medicine. Those taking anticoagulants (warfarin, aspirin) or scheduled for surgery should consult a doctor or pharmacist before use.

About Fish Oil

What is Fish Oil (น้ำมันปลา)? How do EPA and DHA differ?

Fish Oil (น้ำมันปลา) is extracted from deep-sea fish. It delivers two key omega-3 fatty acids:

  • EPA — reduces inflammation, supports heart health, lowers triglycerides
  • DHA — structural component of brain tissue and retina; essential for neurology and vision
  • EPA:DHA ratio — most fish oils are EPA-dominant; check the label for combined EPA+DHA, not just total omega-3

Two forms: Triglyceride (TG) — natural fish, better absorbed — and Ethyl ester (EE) — less expensive. Ask a pharmacist to choose.

What are the benefits of Fish Oil (น้ำมันปลา)? How does it help the heart, brain and eyes?

Fish Oil (น้ำมันปลา) has evidence-backed benefits in several areas:

  • Heart — helps lower triglycerides; may modestly reduce blood pressure
  • Brain and memory — DHA is a core structural component; may support memory and focus, especially in older adults
  • Eyes — DHA concentrated in the retina; adequate intake may reduce macular degeneration risk
  • Anti-inflammatory — EPA produces anti-inflammatory compounds; may help with rheumatoid arthritis

Fish Oil is a supplement, not a medicine. Results depend on dose and consistency.

When is the best time to take Fish Oil (น้ำมันปลา)? What dosage is recommended?

Fish Oil absorbs best with a fat-containing meal.

  • Best timing — breakfast or dinner with eggs, nuts, or a cooked meal with oil
  • Dosing — EPA+DHA: 250–500 mg/day (general) / 1,000 mg/day (heart) / 2,000–4,000 mg/day (triglycerides — doctor supervision)
  • Avoid empty stomach — causes fishy burps and nausea
  • Consistency — daily for at least 4–8 weeks to see benefit

Check the label for actual EPA+DHA per softgel — varies widely between brands.

Does Fish Oil (น้ำมันปลา) have side effects? How do I reduce fishy burps?

Fish Oil is well-tolerated at recommended doses. Possible side effects:

  • Fishy burps — most common; take with food, freeze capsules, or choose enteric-coated softgels
  • Nausea/stomach discomfort — usually from empty stomach; resolved with food
  • Bleeding tendency — EPA mildly inhibits platelets; higher doses (>3 g/day) may extend clotting time
  • Blood glucose — very high doses may affect glucose; monitor if diabetic

Serious effects are rare. Consult a pharmacist if symptoms occur or you take other medications.

Who should take Fish Oil (น้ำมันปลา)? Who should be cautious or avoid it?

Fish Oil suits many people, but some groups need caution:

  • Good candidates — those eating oily fish less than twice a week, people with high triglycerides, older adults for brain and eye support
  • On anticoagulants (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel) — consult a doctor first
  • Fish allergy — consider algae-based omega-3 (algal oil) instead
  • Before surgery — stop 1–2 weeks beforehand

Pregnant women may supplement DHA but must consult their doctor and choose DHA-dominant products.

Fish Oil vs Cod Liver Oil — what is the difference?

Fish Oil and Cod Liver Oil are often confused but are distinct:

  • Source — Fish Oil: fish flesh / Cod Liver Oil: cod liver
  • Nutrients — Fish Oil: high EPA+DHA, no A or D / Cod Liver Oil: EPA, DHA + high vitamin A and D
  • Vitamin A toxicity — Cod Liver Oil + multivitamin may cause vitamin A excess, especially in pregnancy — Fish Oil has no such risk
  • Best use — Fish Oil: pure omega-3 / Cod Liver Oil: omega-3 + vitamins A and D combined

Intimo Life carries a separate Cod Liver Oil collection. Consult a pharmacist to choose the right product.

Which Fish Oil (น้ำมันปลา) brand is best? How does generic compare to branded?

Many Fish Oil brands are available in Thailand. What to look for:

  • EPA+DHA per capsule — a 1,000 mg capsule may contain only 300 mg EPA+DHA; aim ≥500 mg for heart support
  • Thai brands — MEGA We care (value), VISTRA (various concentrations), BLACKMORES (Australian), ONSET (budget-friendly)
  • TG vs EE form — TG absorbs better; difference is modest when taken with meals
  • Purity — choose products with a certificate of analysis for heavy metals

Frequently Asked Questions

Take fish oil with a fat-containing meal — breakfast or dinner with eggs, nuts, or a cooked meal is ideal. Dietary fat significantly enhances EPA and DHA absorption. Taking it on an empty stomach may cause fishy burps or nausea. Morning vs evening matters less than daily consistency.

Fish oil can be taken daily without cycling. Omega-3 benefits accumulate over 4–8 weeks of consistent supplementation — no break periods are needed. If surgery is planned, stop 1–2 weeks beforehand to reduce bleeding risk and consult your doctor.

Yes, they differ. Fish Oil (from fish flesh) = high EPA+DHA, no vitamin A or D — safe at recommended doses. Cod Liver Oil (from cod liver) = omega-3 plus high vitamin A and D — excess or combining with a multivitamin may risk vitamin A toxicity, especially in pregnancy. Consult a pharmacist to choose the right product.

Always consult a doctor or pharmacist first. EPA has mild antiplatelet activity; combined with warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel it may raise bleeding risk, especially at higher doses (>2,000 mg EPA+DHA/day). A doctor will confirm whether supplementation is safe and at what dose.

It depends on the allergy. Those with a fish allergy should avoid fish oil or consult a doctor. People with shellfish allergies (shrimp, crab) can usually take fish oil — the allergenic proteins differ — but check with a doctor. For those avoiding fish entirely, algal oil (algae-derived DHA) is a fish-free omega-3 option.

For general health: 250–500 mg EPA+DHA/day (minimum). For heart: 1,000 mg/day. For triglycerides: 2,000–4,000 mg/day (medical supervision required). For ratio — choose DHA-dominant for brain and eye; EPA-dominant for anti-inflammatory goals. Read the label and consult a pharmacist for the dose suited to your health goal.

No single best brand — it depends on goals and budget. Check: actual EPA+DHA per softgel (≥500 mg for heart support), TG form absorbs better than EE, and a heavy-metal certificate of analysis. Thai FDA-approved brands: MEGA We care, VISTRA, BLACKMORES, ONSET. Consult a pharmacist at Intimo Life via LINE.
