Frequently asked questions
- What makes Elite DHA different from a standard omega-3?
- It concentrates DHA specifically rather than offering a balanced EPA/DHA mix. DHA is the omega-3 most linked to brain, nervous-system and eye function. Carlson lists 1,000 mg of DHA per softgel — confirm against the current label.
- Where can I buy Carlson Elite DHA in the UK?
- Our catalogue links an iHerb listing at around £27.32, which ships to the UK and carries a 4.8-star rating from more than 550 reviews.
- Is Carlson Elite DHA sourced sustainably?
- Carlson sources it from wild-caught Norwegian fish using methods it describes as sustainable, and the oil is IFOS certified for purity and freshness.
- EPA or DHA — which do I need?
- Both are long-chain omega-3s. EPA is often emphasised for cardiovascular and inflammatory support, DHA for brain and eye health. A DHA-forward product like this leans toward the latter.
