What is NeoLife Omega-3 Plus, and is it the same as Omega-3 Salmon Oil Plus?
NeoLife Omega-3 Plus is a high-strength fish oil supplement that delivers 460 mg EPA and 480 mg DHA in a three-capsule daily serving, alongside DPA and five further omega-3 fatty acids. It is the same product Nigerian customers have bought for years as Omega-3 Salmon Oil Plus — NeoLife renamed it, and its Nigerian product sheet records the product as formerly known by that name.
Nothing else about the bottle has changed hands: the pack still holds 90 capsules, the daily serving is still three capsules with meals, and the NAFDAC registration number is still A7-0119. NeoLife’s Nigerian item number for this 90-capsule bottle is #2671.
The oil is an ultra-high-potency concentrate produced from anchovy, mackerel, sardine and tuna, combined with salmon oil. One bottle is a 30-day supply at the labelled dose.
Recs-Medix has been an authorised distributor of NeoLife products in Nigeria since 2017, and ships this bottle to customers in Nigeria and worldwide.
This is a dietary supplement, not a medicine. It is intended to support general health and wellbeing, not to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
What does Omega-3 Plus do in the body?
EPA and DHA are structural fats. Your body places them into the membranes of cells throughout the heart, brain, nervous system and retina, where they influence how those membranes behave. The body makes very little of them, so the amount in your tissues largely reflects what you eat or supplement.
At three capsules a day this product supplies 940 mg of EPA and DHA combined (calculated from the label figures of 460 mg EPA and 480 mg DHA). That is well above the intake at which the following authorised nutrient functions apply:
- EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart. This effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA.
- DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function. This effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA.
- DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision. This effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA.
NeoLife’s own description on the bottle is broader. It points to research on the roles omega-3 fatty acids play in supporting the heart and cardiovascular system; brain, central nervous system and vision
, and in the maintenance of good health.
These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
What are the key benefits of Omega-3 Plus?
A three-capsule serving supplies 940 mg of EPA and DHA, 50 mg of DPA and 80 mg of five further omega-3 fatty acids, in an oil concentrated by NeoLife’s molecular differentiation process and periodically screened for over 200 contaminants.
- Supports the normal function of the heart, through 940 mg of combined EPA and DHA per daily serving
- Helps maintain normal brain function, through 480 mg of DHA per daily serving
- Helps maintain normal vision, through the same 480 mg of DHA
- Provides the omega-3 fatty acids of roughly one serving of fatty fish, for adults who rarely eat fish
- Supplies eight members of the omega-3 family, including EPA, DHA and DPA, rather than EPA and DHA alone
- Contains no vitamin A and no vitamin D, so it adds nothing to those two nutrients if you already take a multivitamin
- Made from 100% wild-caught fish oil, periodically screened for over 200 contaminants including PCBs, pesticides and heavy metals, according to NeoLife
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Who should avoid Omega-3 Plus or check with a doctor first?
Read this section before you order. It matters more for a fish oil than the price or the pack size, and it applies wherever in the world you are taking the capsules.
Anyone with a fish allergy
The label states: contains fish (anchovy, mackerel, salmon, sardine, tuna). Do not take this product if you are allergic to fish or to any of those species.
People taking blood-thinning or anti-platelet medicine
Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before taking fish oil if you use warfarin, an anticoagulant, aspirin or any anti-platelet medicine, or if you have a bleeding disorder. Omega-3 fatty acids have a mild effect on platelets, and whether that matters depends on your medicine, your dose and your medical history.
Anyone scheduled for surgery or a dental procedure
Tell your surgeon, dentist or anaesthetist that you take fish oil, and follow their instruction on whether and when to stop beforehand.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women
Speak to your midwife or doctor before starting any supplement in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. If DHA has been recommended to you, maternal intake of DHA contributes to the normal brain development of the foetus and breastfed infants; that effect is obtained with a daily intake of 200 mg of DHA on top of the 250 mg of EPA and DHA recommended for adults.
Children under 18
The dose on this label is written for adults, and the bottle carries the instruction to keep it out of reach of children. Ask a paediatrician before giving any omega-3 supplement to a child.
People already taking other omega-3 products
Count everything you take. Several NeoLife products, including Formula IV Plus and Pro Vitality+, already contain omega-3 fatty acids. The European Food Safety Authority has concluded that supplemental intakes of EPA and DHA combined of up to about 5 g a day raise no safety concerns for adults, and this product supplies 940 mg at the labelled dose.
Anyone with a heart rhythm condition or established heart disease
Omega-3 supplementation has been studied for a possible association with atrial fibrillation, at intakes above the dose on this label and mainly in people already at high cardiovascular risk. Ask your cardiologist before adding fish oil. The US National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health publishes a plain-language summary of what is known about omega-3 supplements, including side effects and interactions.
Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any new supplement, particularly if you have a medical condition or take prescription medication.
How much omega-3 do adults actually need each day?
Most national guidance for adults lands between 250 mg and 500 mg of combined EPA and DHA a day, usually expressed as one or two portions of oily fish a week. The table sets four of those references, and the European safety assessment, side by side.
| Source of guidance | Suggested for adults, as combined EPA and DHA |
|---|---|
| European Food Safety Authority (EU) | 250 mg a day, and 250–500 mg a day on cardiovascular grounds |
| SACN and the NHS (UK) | About 450 mg a day, from two portions of fish a week, one of them oily |
| Dietary Guidelines for Americans (USA) | About 8 ounces of seafood a week, giving roughly 250 mg a day |
| Heart Foundation (Australia) | 500 mg a day |
| European Food Safety Authority, safety assessment | Supplemental EPA and DHA of up to about 5 g a day raise no safety concerns for adults |
A three-capsule serving supplies 940 mg, above every everyday reference in the table and well below the 5 g a day EFSA assessed as raising no safety concerns. One capsule on its own supplies 313 mg (calculated), which already meets the 250 mg reference; NeoLife sets the serving at three capsules to match the omega-3 content of a portion of fatty fish. NeoLife’s Nigerian product sheet notes that most adults fall short of the roughly 200 g of fatty fish a week that guidance points to.
These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

What are the key ingredients, and what does each one do?
UHPO3 omega-3 fatty acid concentrate
This is the concentrated component that gives the product its strength, and it is the first ingredient by weight. NeoLife produces it from anchovy, mackerel, sardine and tuna oil by a process it calls molecular differentiation, which raises the level of the omega-3 fatty acids the formula is standardised for. Concentration is what allows three small capsules to carry 940 mg of EPA and DHA.
Salmon oil
Salmon oil is the second ingredient and the reason for the product’s original name. It carries the wider spread of omega-3 fatty acids that sits behind the eight-member count on the front of the pack.
EPA, DHA, DPA and the five others
EPA is the most researched of the marine omega-3s. DHA is the structural one, concentrated in the grey matter of the brain and in the retina more than anywhere else in the body. DPA sits between the two in the omega-3 chain. Alongside them the label declares alpha-linolenic, eicosatetraenoic, eicosatrienoic, heneicosapentaenoic and stearidonic acids, together 80 mg per serving — the eight members in total.
Mixed tocopherols, gelatin, glycerin and purified water
Mixed tocopherols are a natural form of vitamin E used in oil supplements to protect the oil from oxidising in the capsule; they are declared as an ingredient, not as a nutrient amount. Gelatin, glycerin and purified water make up the soft capsule shell that holds the oil.
The label declares no vitamin A and no vitamin D. That distinguishes this product from cod liver oil, where those two vitamins come with the oil and set a limit on how much you can take.
How do you take NeoLife Omega-3 Plus?
Take 3 capsules daily with meals. That is the full dosage instruction printed on the bottle. Taking the capsules with food rather than on an empty stomach is also the simplest way to avoid the fishy aftertaste that fish oil can cause.
- Dose: 3 capsules daily
- When: with meals — you can split the three capsules across two or three meals in the day
- How: swallow whole with water
- Bottle life: 90 capsules, which is 30 daily servings
Do not exceed the recommended dose unless a healthcare professional has advised it.
Getting the best from a daily omega-3 routine
Omega-3 works by accumulation, so the level in your body reflects a steady intake over weeks rather than a single dose. Take the serving at the same meal each day so it becomes automatic, and keep eating oily fish where you can — the supplement is there to fill the gap, not to replace the food.
Results vary between individuals. Supplements are intended to support a healthy diet and lifestyle, not to replace them.
Storing the bottle
- Store in a cool, dry place below 25 °C, protected from light, as instructed on the bottle
- Keep the cap tightly closed after every use, and keep out of reach of children
- Do not store in a bathroom, in a car, or near a cooker or other heat source
- Check the expiry date printed on the label before you start the bottle
Who is this omega-3 supplement suitable for?
- Adults who eat little or no oily fish and want a dependable daily source of EPA and DHA
- People looking for heart and cardiovascular nutritional support as part of a wider healthy routine
- Adults who want DHA specifically for normal brain function and normal vision
- Older adults building a simple daily routine around a small number of well-chosen supplements
- Anyone who wants an omega-3 supplement carrying no vitamin A or vitamin D, and a NAFDAC registration number on the pack
What does Omega-3 Plus not do?
It does not treat, cure or prevent any disease, and nothing on this page should be read as saying it does. Specifically:
- It is not a medicine and does not replace any prescribed medication
- It does not treat heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis or any eye disease
- It is not a blood thinner and must never be used in place of a prescribed anticoagulant
- It is not free of side effects; some people notice a fishy aftertaste, reflux or mild digestive upset, and an allergic reaction is possible in anyone sensitive to fish
- It does not work instantly — omega-3 levels build up over weeks of consistent use
- It is not a substitute for a balanced diet, and not a substitute for eating fish
- It is not cod liver oil, and supplies no vitamin A or vitamin D
What will you receive, and how do you check it is genuine?
You receive one factory-sealed white bottle of 90 capsules, labelled NeoLife Nutritionals Omega-3 Plus, with the green NeoLife panel at the top of the front label and the EPA 460 mg and DHA 480 mg figures printed below the fish image. Bottles produced before the label update carry the Omega-3 Salmon Oil Plus name; the NAFDAC registration number is A7-0119 on both.
Checks worth making when the bottle arrives:
- The safety seal under the cap is intact and unbroken
- The lot number, manufacture date and expiry date are printed clearly on the label
- The label printing is sharp, with no smudging or misalignment
- NAFDAC Regn. No. A7-0119 appears on the panel, and the made-for block names NeoLife International Ltd, Lagos
A NAFDAC registration number records that the product itself is registered in Nigeria. It is not an assessment of any health claim, and the checks above are what establish that the individual bottle in your hand is genuine.

Frequently asked questions about Omega-3 Plus
Is Omega-3 Plus the same product as Omega-3 Salmon Oil Plus?
Yes. NeoLife’s Nigerian product sheet records Omega-3 Plus as the product formerly known as Omega-3 Salmon Oil Plus. It carries the same NAFDAC registration number, A7-0119, the same 90-capsule pack and the same three-capsule serving delivering EPA 460 mg and DHA 480 mg. If you have been buying Omega-3 Salmon Oil Plus, this is the bottle you are looking for.
What are the benefits of taking omega-3 salmon oil?
The daily serving supplies 940 mg of combined EPA and DHA. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart at a daily intake of 250 mg, and DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and of normal vision, each at a daily intake of 250 mg. The formula also supplies DPA and five further omega-3 fatty acids.
What happens to your body when you start taking omega-3?
EPA and DHA are gradually incorporated into your cell membranes, so the change is slow and internal rather than something you feel on day one. The most common noticeable effects in the first weeks are practical ones: a fishy aftertaste or mild reflux if the capsules are taken without food, which is why the label says to take them with meals.
Is it safe to take omega-3 fish oil every day?
The product is formulated for daily use, and the label directs three capsules daily with meals. The European Food Safety Authority has concluded that supplemental EPA and DHA of up to about 5 g a day raise no safety concerns for adults; this serving supplies 940 mg. If you take blood-thinning medicine, have a bleeding disorder, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, speak to your doctor first.
Can omega-3 help with joint comfort?
NeoLife’s Nigerian product sheet describes each serving as supporting heart health, joint comfort, and balances inflammation
. This supplement is not a treatment for arthritis or any joint disease, and persistent joint pain should be assessed by a doctor.
Does it contain vitamin A or vitamin D?
No. Neither vitamin is declared on the label. This matters if you already take a multivitamin or cod liver oil, since vitamin A in particular accumulates and has an upper intake level.
Can it be taken alongside blood-thinning medicine?
Ask your doctor or pharmacist before you start. Omega-3 fatty acids have a mild effect on platelets, and whether that matters depends on your medicine, your dose and your medical history.
Will it give me fishy burps?
Some people notice a fishy aftertaste with any fish oil. Taking the capsules with meals as the label directs is the usual answer; splitting the three capsules across two meals also helps.
Is the capsule shell suitable for my diet?
The shell is made from gelatin. If you need confirmation of the gelatin source before ordering, contact us and we can check the available product information for you.
