What is Scitec Nutrition Omega 3?
Scitec Nutrition Omega 3 is a fish oil supplement in softgel form, from the Scitec Essentials range. Each softgel contains 1000mg of fish oil, which provides 350mg of omega-3 fatty acids, including 180mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and 120mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). A daily dose of 2 softgels therefore provides 2000mg of fish oil and 700mg of omega-3, including 360mg of EPA and 240mg of DHA.
The softgel is made of a gelatin, glycerol and water shell and filled with fish oil (70% of the capsule content), with a tocopherol-rich extract added as an antioxidant. One 100-softgel pack provides 50 servings.
What is it used for?
Omega-3 fatty acids are used to top up the intake of EPA and DHA. Both are essential fatty acids: the body needs them but cannot produce them, so they have to come from external sources such as oily fish or supplements.
Scitec’s reasoning is that in the modern diet the balance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids has shifted towards omega-6. Increasing omega-3 intake is one way to counterbalance this, and a fish oil softgel is a simple way to do it every day without eating oily fish regularly.
EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250mg of EPA and DHA (EU-authorised claim). People of all activity levels use fish oil as part of a daily routine, including athletes who train often.
⚠️ Contains fish.

Q1 — What are EPA and DHA?
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are the two main omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil. Both are essential: the body needs them but cannot produce them, so they have to be obtained from food or supplements.
Q2 — How much EPA and DHA does it provide, and does that meet the heart claim?
The daily dose of 2 softgels provides 360mg of EPA and 240mg of DHA, which is 600mg combined. The EU-authorised claim that EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart applies with a daily intake of 250mg of EPA and DHA, so the daily dose is well above it.
Q3 — Why take omega-3 at all?
Scitec points out that in the modern diet the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 has shifted towards omega-6. Increasing omega-3 intake is a way to counterbalance this, and a fish oil supplement is a practical option for people who rarely eat oily fish.
Q4 — How does it compare with Olimp Gold Omega 3?
Scitec Omega 3 provides 180mg of EPA and 120mg of DHA per softgel, in a fish oil with 35% omega-3 content (700mg of omega-3 in 2000mg of oil per daily dose). Olimp Gold Omega 3 Sport Edition provides 330mg of EPA and 220mg of DHA per capsule, in a more concentrated fish oil (65% omega-3). Olimp therefore gives more EPA and DHA per capsule, while Scitec’s pack covers 50 days at 2 softgels a day.
Q5 — Is it suitable for vegetarians, vegans or people with a fish allergy?
No. The oil comes from fish, and the softgel shell is made of gelatin. People with a fish allergy must not use this product. It is also not recommended for children under 6.
