Webber Naturals Salmon Oil, 440 mg of DHA a Day
Webber Naturals salmon oil helps keep your brain and your vision working normally, supplying 110 mg of DHA and 90 mg of EPA per softgel from 1,000 mg of wild Alaskan salmon oil, and at the recommended 4 softgels a day it delivers 440 mg of DHA. 180 softgels to a bottle.
That DHA figure is the reason to choose this one, and it comes with a detail most fish oils reverse: here the DHA is higher than the EPA. Below you will find the full panel, why a DHA-forward oil is a different proposition from an EPA-forward one, how the daily number works, and the short conversation worth having before you start.
What the Recommended Dose Supplies
Per softgel, and then across the 4 softgels Webber recommend.
- DHA 110 mg per softgel, or 440 mg a day. Docosahexaenoic acid, the omega-3 concentrated in the brain and the retina. DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and to the maintenance of normal vision, and both of those apply at 250 mg of DHA daily — so the 4-softgel dose clears them comfortably.
- EPA 90 mg per softgel, or 360 mg a day. Eicosapentaenoic acid, the other long-chain omega-3 the body relies on diet to supply.
- EPA and DHA together, 200 mg per softgel and 800 mg a day, which contribute to the normal function of the heart. That benefit applies at 250 mg a day, so this carries it more than three times over.
- Wild Alaskan salmon oil 1,000 mg per softgel, with natural vitamin E as an antioxidant to keep the oil fresh, in a gelatin softgel.
- The DHA exceeds the EPA, which is genuinely unusual. Most fish oils run roughly three parts EPA to two parts DHA. This one runs the other way, and since the brain and vision benefits are both DHA benefits, a DHA-forward oil reaches them on fewer softgels than an EPA-forward one at the same total. It is the honest reason to pick this over a cheaper fish oil, and no listing in this market mentions it.
- 180 softgels, which at 4 a day is about 45 days.
Set against the rest of our omega shelf, this sits third on daily DHA of the nine products we carry, and it is the only one where the DHA outweighs the EPA. If what you want is the largest DHA amount available, our Solgar concentrate reaches 600 mg a day; if you want the most EPA and DHA for your money, a concentrated fish oil we stock reaches 1,200 mg a day at a lower daily cost. Our pharmacist will put all three in front of you.
How Many Softgels a Day
Four softgels daily, with meals, or as directed by a physician. That is Webber’s own dose and it is a single figure rather than a range. Please let our pharmacist confirm it with you and write it down.
If you have seen larger numbers for this product, or a regimen tied to a particular condition, please come and talk to us before following it. Webber give one dose and then defer to a doctor, and that is the right order of things: a higher intake of fish oil can be entirely appropriate, and it is a decision for the doctor treating you rather than for a label or a web page.
Take them with food containing some fat. Omega-3s are fat soluble and absorption improves considerably with a meal. Spreading four across two meals is gentler on the stomach than taking them together.
Judge it over months. 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
Adults who want the DHA specifically, which is what this oil leads on and what the brain and vision benefits rest on. Anyone whose doctor has mentioned DHA rather than omega-3 in general. People who prefer a whole salmon oil to a concentrate. Households buying for more than one adult, where 180 softgels goes further than most packs on our shelf. Anyone whose diet is light on oily fish, which in practice is most of us. And anyone who would rather have the EPA and DHA figures read out to them and compared across our shelf than guess from a bottle front.
Is Webber Naturals Salmon Oil Right for You?
Four things to settle with our pharmacist. Webber’s own carton is brief, so the first two we raise ourselves as pharmacists and we would rather say so than imply otherwise.
- IF YOU TAKE WARFARIN, ASPIRIN, CLOPIDOGREL OR ANY OTHER BLOOD THINNER, 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 with you.
- 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. Wild Alaskan salmon, so 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 taking this for a diagnosed condition, let our doctor see you first, and add up the omega-3 already in the house. Webber defer to a physician for anything beyond their stated dose and so do we. Fish oil also turns up in joint and bone formulas, so bring us what you have and our pharmacist will total it. Keep the softgels out of reach of children, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or buying for a child, our doctor can set the right amount in one visit.
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, so a cupboard rather than a windowsill and never the shelf above the cooker. Note the date you opened it, and with 180 softgels the bottle will be open for a month and a half, so the storage matters more here than on a smaller pack. If the softgels ever smell strongly rancid rather than faintly of fish, 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 Webber Naturals salmon oil used for?
It is an omega-3 supplement built around DHA. Four softgels supply 440 mg of DHA and 360 mg of EPA, and DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and of normal vision, while EPA and DHA together contribute to the normal function of the heart. The salmon oil is from wild Alaskan salmon.
How much EPA and DHA does it contain?
Per softgel: DHA 110 mg, EPA 90 mg, total omega-3 200 mg, from 1,000 mg of wild Alaskan salmon oil. At the recommended 4 softgels a day that is DHA 440 mg, EPA 360 mg and 800 mg of EPA and DHA. We print these because they are the only figures worth comparing between omega-3 products.
Why is the DHA higher than the EPA?
Because it is a whole salmon oil rather than a concentrate, and salmon oil naturally carries more DHA than EPA. Most fish oils run roughly three parts EPA to two parts DHA, and this one runs the other way. It matters because the brain and vision benefits are both DHA benefits, so a DHA-forward oil reaches them on fewer softgels than an EPA-forward oil at the same total. It is the real point of difference on this product.
How many softgels should I take a day?
Four, with meals, which is Webber’s own dose, or as directed by a physician. Let our pharmacist confirm it with you. If you have seen larger numbers for this product, or a regimen tied to a particular condition, please talk to us before following it: Webber give one dose and then defer to a doctor, and we think that is the right order of things.
Can I take it for arthritis or joint pain?
We would rather answer this carefully than sell you something on a promise. There is no recognised omega-3 joint or inflammation benefit at any dose, and we will not claim one. People do take fish oil for joint comfort and some find it helps them, which is a reasonable thing to try. But if you have a diagnosed condition such as rheumatoid arthritis, the amount of fish oil that might be used alongside your treatment is a decision for the doctor managing it, not for a label — and at higher intakes it needs supervising because of the effect on clotting. Our doctor is here at the pharmacy and can discuss it with you properly.
Does it help with triglycerides or cholesterol?
Here is the accurate answer. There is no recognised cholesterol benefit for omega-3 at any amount. The recognised triglyceride benefit applies at 2,000 mg of EPA and DHA a day, and the 4-softgel dose here supplies 800 mg, so it falls well short. What this product does carry is the heart function benefit, more than three times over, and the DHA brain and vision benefits. If your doctor has recommended omega-3 for your blood lipids, bring that in and our pharmacist will work out what reaches the amount they have in mind.
How does it compare with your other salmon oil?
Fairly closely, and we would rather tell you than let you guess. Our other wild Alaskan salmon oil reaches 800 mg of EPA and DHA a day as well, with 372 mg of DHA against 440 mg here, and it comes in an enteric-coated softgel designed to prevent the fishy aftertaste. This one gives more DHA and a larger pack. Tell our pharmacist whether the DHA or the aftertaste matters more to you and we will point you at the right 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. 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.
Is it safe for daily use, and are there side effects?
At the recommended dose it is intended for ongoing daily use and most people take it for years without trouble. A little burping, a faintly fishy taste or loose stools are the commonest complaints with any fish oil, and taking the softgels with meals and splitting them across the day settles all three for most people.
Can children take it, and is it suitable for vegetarians?
The amounts are set for adults, so for a child we carry a measured omega-3 syrup dosed by age and a chewable capsule from 3 years instead. It is not suitable for a vegetarian or vegan diet: the oil is from salmon and the softgel shell is gelatin. If you need halal certification, ask us rather than assume and we will check the supplier documentation.
