Best Way to Take Omega-3 Supplements

What is the best time to take Omega-3? And above all: is it better to take the capsules all together or at different times during the day? Thank you again and best regards.

Dear Valeria,

I recommend taking the capsules shortly before a main meal to better promote absorption and digestibility. 

You can take them all at once or at different times during the day, depending on your needs and with no problem. Also, to avoid any possible aftertaste, it is preferable to store the capsules in the refrigerator.


Best regards. 

Dr. Rosaria Ramondino
