1000mg cod liver oil providing 80mg EPA and 90mg DHA (170mg combined), plus vitamins A, D, E and a trace amount of garlic oil extract. Two things worth knowing: the combined EPA+DHA dose falls below the EU threshold for the heart function claim stated in this description, and the garlic oil amount is too small to expect any meaningful garlic-related effect.

Description

A Note on Two Claims in This Product’s Description

This softgel provides 1000mg cod liver oil, delivering 80mg EPA and 90mg DHA (170mg combined) alongside vitamin A (800μg as retinyl palmitate), vitamin D (5μg), vitamin E (4.5mg), and garlic oil extract (500:1, providing 0.011mg — equivalent to 5.5mg of garlic before extraction).

It’s worth being precise about the EFSA claim cited in this product’s description: “EPA and DHA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood pressure and normal function of the heart” is a genuine EU-authorised claim, but it specifically requires a combined daily intake of at least 250mg EPA and DHA to apply — this product’s 170mg combined falls below that threshold. This doesn’t mean the omega-3 content here has no value, but the specific heart-related claim as stated isn’t substantiated at this dose.

On the garlic oil specifically: at 0.011mg per softgel, this is an extremely small amount — for context, garlic-related research on cardiovascular markers typically uses garlic powder equivalents in the hundreds of milligrams to grams, not fractions of a milligram of extract. It’s reasonable to treat the garlic component here as a minor addition rather than something likely to provide a meaningful garlic-specific effect.

Vitamin A at 800μg sits comfortably within the NHS’s 1.5mg (1,500mcg) daily supplement limit, with reasonable headroom for other dietary sources. This product’s own label correctly states not to take it if pregnant or likely to become pregnant except on medical advice.

Fish oil has mild blood-thinning properties, worth knowing if you take anticoagulant medication. This product uses bovine gelatine in the capsule shell, so it’s not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. Cod liver oil sourced from Iceland and Norway, manufactured in the UK to GMP and BRC standards. Take one softgel daily with a full glass of water; 365 softgels provide a full year’s supply. Not suitable for under-18s. Speak to your GP before use if you’re breastfeeding, take regular medication, or have an existing health condition — and avoid if pregnant or likely to become pregnant except on medical advice.
