Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega 2X Sport
- NSF Certified for Sport
A high-strength fish oil for women whose clinician has suggested a larger omega-3 dose.
Description
Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega 2X Sport packs 2,000 mg of the two main omega-3s from fish into a two-soft-gel serving. It is independently tested for purity and for banned substances. Evidence that omega-3 supplements protect the heart is mixed, and the American Heart Association suggests seafood once or twice a week for most people, so this strong dose makes the most sense with your clinician's input. Ask first if you take a blood thinner or have surgery planned.
