Enough omega-3 – even on the days when no fish makes it onto your plate
Optiolex Omega-3 delivers concentrated fish oil with EPA and DHA in one small capsule – an Austrian brand, made to GMP standards.
Oily sea fish once or twice a week – that's the usual advice. In everyday life, it often stays a good intention. And the shelf doesn't make it easier: many products advertise the amount of fish oil, when what really counts is how much EPA and DHA is actually inside.
That's where these capsules come in. They provide a concentrated fish oil in which the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are present as triglycerides – the same binding form found naturally in fish. Natural vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol) is on board too, protecting the delicate oil from oxidation.
The raw material comes from Golden Omega, a Chilean producer that obtains its fish oil concentrates through a patented purification and concentration process. The brand is from Austria, and production follows GMP guidelines.
Take 1 capsule twice daily, unchewed, with plenty of water. For pregnant and breastfeeding women, a maximum daily intake of 450 mg DHA and EPA is recommended (equivalent to 1 capsule every 2 days).

What does the triglyceride (TG) form mean?
In fish oil, the omega-3 fatty acids naturally occur as triglycerides – three fatty acids bound to a glycerol backbone. Concentrated fish oil comes in ethyl-ester and in triglyceride form. The triglyceride form matches the structure found in fish. Which form a product uses is stated in the ingredient list – here it is a concentrate in TG form.
What are the heart, brain and vision statements based on?
The EU has authorised health claims for EPA and DHA. They apply from a daily intake of 250 mg: for heart function 250 mg EPA and DHA combined, for brain function and vision 250 mg DHA each. You reach these amounts with the recommended daily dose of two capsules.
⚠️ Mandatory information: Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the stated recommended daily intake. Keep out of the reach of young children.
📦 Storage: Store closed, cool, dry and protected from light.
💬 Frequently asked questions
-
How much omega-3 is really inside?+What matters is not the amount of fish oil but the EPA and DHA content. You'll find the exact values per capsule and per daily dose in the nutrition table and in the figures box above.
-
How and when do I take the capsules?+One capsule twice a day, unchewed, with plenty of water. You can choose the timing freely.
-
Is the product vegan or vegetarian?+No. The oil comes from fish and the capsule shell is made of fish gelatine. For a fully plant-based omega-3 source, algae oil is the option.
-
Suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding?+For pregnant and breastfeeding women, a maximum daily intake of 450 mg DHA and EPA is recommended – that's 1 capsule every 2 days. When in doubt, check with your doctor.
-
Does it contain flavours or additives?+The ingredient list is short: fish oil concentrate, a capsule shell of fish gelatine and glycerol, and natural vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol). Nothing more.
-
What do EPA and DHA stand for?+EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are the two long-chain omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil to which the authorised health claims refer.
