Odorless Fish Oil, 360 mg EPA and 240 mg DHA a Day
Odorless fish oil helps keep your heart working normally, supplying 360 mg of EPA and 240 mg of DHA in a 2-softgel daily serving, which is more than twice the 250 mg a day at which the heart benefit applies. 90 softgels, lemon flavoured.
The odorless processing and the lemon flavouring are the real reason to choose this one, because the fishy aftertaste is what makes most people abandon a fish oil before it has had time to do anything. Below you will find the full panel, what the headline weight on the bottle actually tells you, how it compares with the rest of our omega shelf, and the short conversation worth having first.
What a Serving of This Odorless Fish Oil Supplies
Per 2-softgel serving, which is the stated daily amount.
- EPA 360 mg and DHA 240 mg, with 120 mg of other omega-3s, giving 720 mg of total omega-3 fatty acids. EPA and DHA together at 600 mg a day contribute to the normal function of the heart, which applies at 250 mg, so this carries that benefit comfortably.
- Purified fish oil 2,400 mg per serving. That is the figure on the front of the bottle and it is worth a word, because it is the least useful number on the label. It is the weight of oil in two softgels, not one, and what matters is the 600 mg of EPA and DHA inside it. A 2,400 mg oil carrying 600 mg of the two is an ordinary unconcentrated fish oil, which is perfectly respectable and is exactly what it should cost.
- Odorless processing with natural lemon flavouring. This is the genuine selling point and the page should lead on it. A fish oil you can take at breakfast without tasting it all morning is a fish oil you will still be taking in March, and adherence matters more than any formulation detail on a supplement judged over months.
- A gelatin softgel with glycerin and water, so it falls outside a vegetarian or vegan diet, and the oil is from fish.
- 90 softgels, which at the stated 2 a day is about 45 days. One of the longer runs on our omega shelf.
One honest comparison, because you are entitled to it before you spend. At 600 mg of EPA and DHA a day this sits in the middle of our omega range: a concentrated fish oil we carry reaches 1,200 mg a day at a lower daily cost, and another reaches 1,560 mg at a higher one. What neither of those gives you is the lemon flavour and the odorless processing. Tell our pharmacist which of those things matters most to you and we will match you properly.
How to Take It
Two softgels daily with a meal. That is the stated serving and it delivers the 600 mg of EPA and DHA above. Let our pharmacist confirm it with you, particularly if a doctor has suggested a specific amount, because the number can reasonably be higher on medical advice.
Take them with food containing some fat, and with a full glass of water. Omega-3s are fat soluble and absorption improves considerably with a meal.
If you get any mild stomach upset, split them across two meals rather than taking both together. One at breakfast and one at dinner settles it for almost everybody, and it is also easier to remember.
Judge it over months rather than weeks. Omega-3 status in the body shifts slowly and the things it contributes to are not things you feel day to day. Take it steadily and judge it by what your doctor measures.
Who This Suits
Anyone who has tried fish oil before and given it up over the aftertaste, which is precisely what the odorless processing and the lemon flavour address. Adults whose diet is light on oily fish, which in practice is most of us. People who would rather take two softgels once a day than four, and who want a pack that lasts a month and a half. Anyone who finds a plain fish oil repeats on them. And anyone who would rather have the EPA and DHA figures read out to them at a counter than guess from the big number on the front of a bottle.
Is This Odorless Fish Oil Right for You?
Four things to settle with our pharmacist first. On a fish oil at this sort of daily amount the first two genuinely matter.
- IF YOU TAKE WARFARIN, ASPIRIN, CLOPIDOGREL OR ANY OTHER BLOOD THINNER, OR HAVE A BLEEDING DISORDER, PLEASE SPEAK TO YOUR DOCTOR, OR OURS, BEFORE YOU START. Omega-3 affects how readily platelets clump together, which is part of how it works. That is usually manageable and often perfectly fine, but it belongs with the doctor already managing your medicine rather than being decided alone. Bring us your list and we will go through it.
- IF YOU HAVE SURGERY OR A DENTAL PROCEDURE BOOKED, TELL YOUR SURGEON YOU ARE TAKING THIS. Many will ask you to stop a week or two beforehand for the same clotting reason. Give us the date and we will remind you when to pause and when to restart.
- This is a fish product in a gelatin softgel. Unsuitable for anyone with a fish allergy, and outside a vegetarian or vegan diet. If you need halal certification, please ask us rather than assume and we will check the supplier documentation before you buy.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or buying for a child, come and talk to us. Omega-3 is often recommended in pregnancy, but the right amount is a medical judgement and our doctor is here and can set it in one visit. For a child, the amounts here are set for an adult and we carry two products made for children instead.
Storing It
Keep the bottle tightly capped in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, below 25 degrees, and out of reach of children. Fish oils oxidise with heat, light and air, which is the one real enemy of an omega-3 and the thing the odorless processing is protecting, so a cupboard rather than a windowsill and never the shelf above the cooker. Note the date you opened it. If the softgels ever smell strongly rancid rather than faintly of lemon, stop and bring them back to us.
Where to Buy OsteoMove in Kenya
Order online and we deliver countrywide, or collect from our pharmacy at Kahawa Sukari Shopping Center, Nairobi. We send orders to Nairobi and every neighbourhood around it — the CBD, Westlands, Parklands, Gigiri, Muthaiga, Runda, Rosslyn, Kitisuru, Lower Kabete, Lavington, Kileleshwa, Kilimani, Karen, Langata, South B, South C, Eastleigh, Buruburu, Donholm, Embakasi, Ngong Road, Kasarani, Roysambu, Zimmerman, Githurai, Ruaka, Banana Hill, Two Rivers, Village Market and Pride Lands — and across Kiambu, Thika, Juja, Ruiru, Kikuyu, Limuru and Ngong.
Beyond the capital we deliver to Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Nyeri, Machakos, Athi River, Kitengela, Kajiado, Naivasha, Narok, Kericho, Bomet, Kisii, Migori, Homa Bay, Siaya, Bungoma, Busia, Kakamega, Vihiga, Webuye, Kitale, Nandi Hills, Iten, Kapenguria, Embu, Meru, Chuka, Kerugoya, Murang’a, Othaya, Nyahururu, Nanyuki, Maralal, Isiolo, Marsabit, Moyale, Wajir, Mandera, Garissa, Lodwar, Kitui, Mwingi, Makueni, Emali, Kibwezi, Voi, Taveta, Wundanyi, Mariakani, Diani, Ukunda, Kilifi, Watamu, Malindi, Lamu and Hola. At two tablets a day a bottle runs for a long time, so tell us the pack size you want and we will work out how many months that covers before you order.
Across Africa, ask us before you order. We have sent orders to Uganda, Tanzania, Somaliland and as far as Malawi, and we will quote for Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Mozambique, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa and the rest of the continent. Shellfish and bovine-derived ingredients occasionally need an import declaration, and this formula contains both, so tell us the destination and we will confirm the paperwork before the parcel leaves us.
Living abroad? Order from wherever you are and we deliver to your family here in Kenya. Kenyans in the UK, the United States, Canada, South Africa and the Gulf order from us regularly for parents and relatives at home. A joint supplement is a sensible thing to send, because the benefit builds over months and a steady supply matters far more than a single bottle. Two tablets a day is also the easiest regimen to keep up with. Tell us who it is for, how many months you want covered, and whether they have a shellfish allergy or avoid beef, and we will set up the repeat.
Why Buy Your OsteoMove from HealthAlone Kenya?
HealthAlone is a pharmacist-led health ecosystem licensed by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board, and our stock is original, sealed and correctly stored. Kahawa Sukari is a real counter with real pharmacists behind it.
Our pharmacists will flag the shellfish and the bovine chondroitin before you pay, show you the shellfish-free or plant-derived option when that is the right answer, read you the amounts and say plainly which parts of the formula are doing the work, check it against warfarin, against any surgery you have booked and against your diabetes if you have it, and tell you honestly how long to give it. Our doctor is here too if you would rather have the whole question looked at properly.
It is one more step in our vision: building Africa’s most trusted health ecosystem, accessible to everyone, everywhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is odorless fish oil used for?
It is an omega-3 supplement. A 2-softgel daily serving supplies 360 mg of EPA and 240 mg of DHA, and EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart, which applies at a daily intake of 250 mg. The odorless processing and lemon flavouring are what distinguish it from a plain fish oil.
How much EPA and DHA does it contain?
EPA 360 mg and DHA 240 mg per 2-softgel serving, plus 120 mg of other omega-3s, from 2,400 mg of purified fish oil. We print these because they are the only figures worth comparing between omega-3 products.
What does the 2400 mg on the bottle mean?
It is the weight of fish oil in a 2-softgel serving, not in one softgel, and it is the least informative number on the label. What matters is the 600 mg of EPA and DHA inside it. If you are comparing fish oils, compare the EPA and DHA figures rather than the oil weight, and our pharmacist will do that with you across everything we stock.
Does it really not taste of fish?
That is what the odorless processing and the natural lemon flavouring are for, and it is the main reason to choose this one. The fishy aftertaste and the repeating are the single commonest reason people abandon a fish oil, usually long before it has had time to do anything, so a version you will actually keep taking is worth more than a stronger one you will not.
How many softgels a day?
Two with a meal, which is the stated serving. If you get any mild stomach upset, split them between breakfast and dinner rather than taking both at once. Let our pharmacist confirm the number with you, particularly if your doctor has suggested a specific amount.
How does it compare with your other omega-3 products?
Honestly, it sits in the middle on amount and near the top on palatability. At 600 mg of EPA and DHA a day, a concentrated fish oil we carry reaches 1,200 mg a day at a lower daily cost, and our Solgar reaches 1,560 mg at a higher one. Neither has the lemon flavour or the odorless processing. Tell us whether amount or taste matters more to you and we will point you at the right one rather than the dearest one.
Can I take it with my blood pressure or heart medicine?
Bring us your list first. Omega-3 affects how readily platelets clump together, which is part of how it works, so it needs checking against blood thinners such as warfarin, aspirin and clopidogrel in particular, and against any bleeding disorder. Speak to the doctor already managing your medicine, or to ours, and our pharmacist will go through the list in a minute.
Do I need to stop before surgery?
Tell your surgeon you are taking it, and many will ask you to stop a week or two beforehand for the same clotting reason. The same applies to a dental procedure. Give us the date and we will remind you when to pause and when to restart.
Can I take it on an empty stomach?
You can, but it works better and sits better with food. The omega-3s are fat soluble so a meal improves absorption, and an empty stomach is where the mild queasiness some people report tends to come from.
Is it safe during pregnancy, and can children take it?
Omega-3 is often recommended in pregnancy, but the right amount is a medical judgement rather than a label one, so please let our doctor set it. Our doctor is here at the pharmacy and can see you the same visit. For a child the amounts here are set for an adult, and we carry a measured syrup dosed by age and a chewable capsule from 3 years instead.
Can vegans take it, and are there side effects?
No, on both counts it is worth being clear: the oil is from fish and the softgel shell is gelatin, so it falls outside a vegetarian or vegan diet. As for side effects, at this amount most people have none. A little burping or loose stools are the commonest complaints with any fish oil and taking the softgels with a meal, split across two, usually settles both.
