NeoLife Smart 8 Plus Product Overview
NeoLife Smart 8 Plus is an omega-3 fish oil supplement for daily heart support. A two-capsule daily serving supplies 153 mg EPA and 160 mg DHA — 313 mg combined (calculated). EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart; this beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA.
Smart 8 Plus provides eight members of the omega-3 family in standardised amounts. The formula uses an Ultra High Potency Omega-3 (UHPO3) fatty acid concentrate from anchovy, mackerel, sardine and tuna, blended with salmon oil.
NeoLife produces the concentrate using a process it calls molecular differentiation, which the manufacturer describes as delivering “purity and potency to maximise safety, comfort and benefits”. The fish oil is sustainably harvested and tested for over 200 contaminants, including PCBs, pesticides and toxic heavy metals.
Each two-capsule serving provides total omega-3 fatty acids equivalent to approximately one third of a serving of fatty fish. One bottle contains 60 capsules, providing 30 daily servings (calculated). Smart 8 Plus sits in the targeted nutrients range as an omega-3-focused supplement rather than a broad multivitamin.
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 Smart 8 Plus support?
Smart 8 Plus supplies EPA and DHA for normal heart function. A two-capsule serving provides 313 mg of EPA and DHA combined, exceeding the 250 mg daily intake associated with the authorised heart-function benefit.
Heart function
EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart. This beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA. Two capsules of Smart 8 Plus supply 313 mg combined (calculated).
Key product features
- Provides eight members of the omega-3 family in standardised amounts.
- Supplies 153 mg EPA and 160 mg DHA per two-capsule serving.
- Provides 313 mg EPA and DHA combined per daily serving (calculated).

NeoLife states: “Research shows omega-3 fatty acids play critical roles supporting the heart and cardiovascular system; brain, central nervous system and vision; and the maintenance of good health.”
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats. Oily fish is an important dietary source, which is why omega-3 intake tends to track how much oily fish a person eats during the week.
What should you know before taking Smart 8 Plus?
Smart 8 Plus contains fish, and it interacts with the conversation on blood-thinning medicines. The points below apply if you have a fish allergy, take prescribed medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are buying for a child.
Fish allergen
Smart 8 Plus contains fish: anchovy, mackerel, salmon, sardine and tuna. Anyone with a fish allergy should not take it. This is a declared allergen in the UK, the EU, the USA, Canada and Australia, and it applies to the whole product, not to one ingredient in it.
Blood-thinning medicines and surgery
Omega-3 fatty acids are part of the conversation on anticoagulant and anti-platelet medicines, including warfarin, aspirin taken for the heart, clopidogrel and the direct oral anticoagulants. If you take any of these, ask the prescriber or the anticoagulant clinic before starting Smart 8 Plus. Tell your surgeon and anaesthetist about any fish oil supplement before planned surgery or a dental procedure, and follow their instruction on when to stop.
Heart rhythm
Research linking omega-3 supplements to atrial fibrillation has largely studied intakes above 1.5 g of EPA and DHA a day in people at high cardiovascular risk. A two-capsule serving of Smart 8 Plus supplies 313 mg. Anyone with a diagnosed heart-rhythm condition, or taking medicine for one, should raise it with their cardiologist before adding any omega-3 supplement.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Ask your midwife, obstetrician or pharmacist before taking Smart 8 Plus during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Smart 8 Plus contains no vitamin A and no vitamin D, so it adds nothing to a daily vitamin A or vitamin D total, but the decision on any supplement in pregnancy belongs with the clinician looking after you.
Children
Keep out of reach of children. Speak to your child’s doctor or pharmacist about whether an omega-3 supplement is appropriate for your child and at what daily amount. Where a younger child has been advised to take capsules, supervise them until they can swallow one confidently.
Taking it alongside other supplements
Several NeoLife products already contain omega-3 fatty acids, including Formula IV Plus, Pro Vitality+ and Omega-3 Plus. Add up the EPA and DHA across everything you take rather than treating each pack separately, and do the same for any other fish oil, krill oil or algal oil in your routine.
Possible side effects
The effects most often associated with fish oil are a fishy aftertaste or repeat, mild nausea, loose stools and stomach discomfort. Taking the capsules in the middle of a meal rather than before it, and keeping the bottle sealed and below 25°C, both reduce the aftertaste. An allergic reaction to fish is possible in anyone who is sensitised: stop taking it and seek medical help if you develop a rash, swelling of the face or mouth, or difficulty breathing.
Suitability
The capsule shell is made with gelatin, so Smart 8 Plus is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. For questions about the gelatin source, contact us and we can check the available product information for you.
If you have a diagnosed medical condition or take prescribed medication, consult a qualified healthcare professional before using this product.

Who is Smart 8 Plus suitable for?
Smart 8 Plus suits adults who want a defined daily amount of EPA and DHA in a small capsule, particularly where oily fish appears rarely in the week. It is a single-purpose omega-3 supplement rather than a broad formula, so it can fit alongside an existing routine.
- Adults who eat little or no oily fish such as mackerel, salmon, sardines or herring in a typical week.
- Adults who prefer a smaller fish oil capsule.
- People who want the EPA and DHA amount stated per serving rather than a fish oil sold on total oil weight alone.
- Adults avoiding vitamin A and vitamin D from a fish oil source, including anyone already taking a multivitamin that supplies both.
- Customers taking a NeoLife multivitamin who want a standalone omega-3 rather than a second broad formula.
Smart 8 Plus or Omega-3 Plus — which one should you choose?
Both products come from the same NeoLife omega-3 concentrate and both provide eight omega-3s. They differ in capsule size, serving size and the amount of EPA and DHA that a daily serving delivers.

| Pack size | 60 capsules | 90 capsules |
| Daily serving | 2 capsules with meals | 3 capsules with meals |
| EPA per serving | 153 mg | 460 mg |
| DHA per serving | 160 mg | 480 mg |

| Servings per pack | 30 (calculated) | 30 (calculated) |

Frequently asked questions
What is NeoLife Smart 8 used for?
Smart 8 Plus is used as a daily source of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. A two-capsule serving supplies 313 mg of EPA and DHA combined. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart; this beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA.
Is Smart 8 the same product as Smart 8 Plus?
Yes. NeoLife renamed the product, and the pack now reads Smart 8 Plus. The sister product, previously sold as Omega-3 Salmon Oil Plus, is now Omega-3 Plus. The two-capsule serving, declared amounts and NAFDAC registration A7-2871 are the same, so a bottle labelled Smart 8 and a bottle labelled Smart 8 Plus are the same product from different print runs.
How much does NeoLife Smart 8 Plus cost?
The live price for the 60-capsule bottle is shown on this listing and updates with stock. Prices display in your local currency at checkout, Payment on Delivery is available within Nigeria, and international orders ship by DHL Express.
Does Smart 8 Plus support brain function or memory?
A two-capsule serving of Smart 8 Plus supplies 160 mg of DHA. The daily DHA intake at which brain and vision effects are recognised in EU and UK rules is 250 mg. NeoLife states that “research shows omega-3 fatty acids play critical roles supporting the heart and cardiovascular system; brain, central nervous system and vision; and the maintenance of good health”. A three-capsule serving of Omega-3 Plus supplies 480 mg of DHA.
Can Smart 8 Plus be taken every day?
Yes. The directions are 2 capsules daily with meals. Do not exceed the stated serving. If you use other omega-3 supplements, add up the EPA and DHA across them rather than counting each product separately.
Is Smart 8 Plus halal, vegetarian or vegan?
The capsule shell is made with gelatin, so Smart 8 Plus is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. For questions about the gelatin source or certification, contact us and we can check the available product information for you.
