How Tri Omega 1000 by Addict Sport Nutrition supports your objectives

❤️ Normal heart function — the primary EU-authorised health claim Combined EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart at a daily intake of 250mg. Two capsules of Tri Omega 1000 (300mg EPA + 200mg DHA = 500mg combined) deliver double this threshold, providing robust cardiovascular support. Regular omega-3 supplementation is associated with lower triglyceride levels, improved HDL cholesterol, reduced blood pressure and decreased arterial inflammation — collectively among the most important cardiovascular health markers for both general population and athletic health.

🧠 Normal brain function — DHA as the primary structural brain lipid DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function at a daily intake of 250mg. DHA is the dominant structural fatty acid in the brain and retinal tissue, making up approximately 40% of the polyunsaturated fatty acids in brain grey matter. Adequate DHA intake is associated with cognitive performance, memory, mood regulation and reduced risk of age-related cognitive decline. For athletes operating under high cognitive and physical load, maintaining optimal DHA status supports both mental sharpness and the stress management capacity that consistent training demands.

👁️ Normal vision — DHA as the retinal structural fatty acid DHA also contributes to the maintenance of normal vision. The retina has the highest concentration of DHA of any tissue in the body. DHA is essential for the proper function of the rod and cone photoreceptors, and its deficiency is associated with reduced visual acuity and impaired dark adaptation. Regular DHA supplementation maintains the retinal DHA pool, supporting optimal visual function throughout the day and particularly during evening or artificial-light environments common in year-round training.

💪 Anti-inflammatory support for training recovery EPA is the primary precursor to resolvins, protectins and other specialised pro-resolving mediators — lipid compounds that actively resolve inflammation and accelerate tissue repair following exercise-induced micro-damage. Regular omega-3 supplementation reduces circulating markers of inflammation and muscle soreness in athletes, contributing to faster recovery between sessions and improved training quality over sustained periods.

🧡 Vitamin E for omega-3 stability and cellular antioxidant protection The 10mg of vitamin E (tocopherol acetate) per capsule serves a dual purpose: it protects the fish oil from oxidative degradation within the softgel (ensuring freshness and potency from the first to the last capsule), and it carries the EU-authorised health claim of contributing to the protection of cells against oxidative stress — a directly relevant benefit for athletes with elevated free radical production from training.

🎯 Goal guide

🏋️ Mass gain: 1 to 2 capsules/day with a meal. Supports protein synthesis, inflammation management and cardiovascular health under high training load.

🔥 Weight loss / cutting: 1 to 2 capsules/day. Anti-inflammatory support during high training frequency; triglyceride and cholesterol management.

⚖️ Body recomposition: 1 to 2 capsules/day. Foundation micronutrient for cardiovascular, brain and recovery support year-round.

Serving suggestion

Take 1 to 2 capsules per day with a meal and a large glass of water. Always take omega-3 softgels with food — dietary fat in the meal significantly improves EPA and DHA absorption from fish oil capsules. At 2 capsules per day, the daily dose is 300mg EPA + 200mg DHA = 500mg of combined omega-3s, double the 250mg threshold associated with EU-authorised health benefits. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women without medical advice.

Best times to enjoy it

🍳 With a main meal (essential) Omega-3 fatty acids are fat-soluble compounds that require the presence of dietary fat for optimal intestinal absorption. Taking fish oil capsules without food reduces absorption significantly. Any main meal containing some fat is sufficient.

🌅 With breakfast The most practical daily habit — pairing omega-3 supplementation with breakfast ensures consistency and pairs with the fat content typically present in morning meals.

🍽️ Split across two meals (at 2-capsule dose) For athletes taking 2 capsules per day, splitting the dose (1 capsule at breakfast, 1 at dinner) is slightly more effective than taking both at once, as it maintains more stable omega-3 plasma levels throughout the day.

📅 Every day, year-round Omega-3 fatty acids are continuously incorporated into cell membranes and metabolised. Daily supplementation is required to maintain optimal plasma and tissue omega-3 status. There is no benefit to cycling omega-3 off.

Daily protein target reminder

Tri Omega 1000 is a lipid micronutrient supplement, not a protein source. For training adaptations to fully materialise, adequate daily protein intake remains essential. Current sports nutrition science recommends 1.6 to 2.2g of protein per kg of body weight per day for active individuals. For vegan athletes, targeting the upper end (1.8 to 2.2g/kg) is advised.

Goal-specific guidance

For athletes under high training load: Take 2 capsules per day (500mg combined EPA + DHA) to maintain optimal omega-3 status during periods of elevated inflammation from intense or high-frequency training. The anti-inflammatory resolvins and protectins derived from EPA are directly relevant to reducing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and accelerating tissue repair. Research in trained athletes using 2 to 3g of EPA + DHA per day (requiring 4 to 6 capsules at this concentration) shows the strongest results for recovery, so athletes specifically targeting recovery benefits may wish to discuss higher doses with a sports dietitian.

For general health and cardiovascular support: 1 to 2 capsules per day is the standard protocol for general population health maintenance, aligned with the 250mg to 500mg EPA + DHA daily intake range associated with the most consistent cardiovascular, cognitive and visual health benefits in the scientific literature.

🏅 Sport Nutrition "Did you know?"

Epax® is not just a brand name — it is a quality certification system for fish oil. Epax® oils are sourced from sustainable, certified fisheries primarily in Norway, and undergo one of the most rigorous purification processes available in the industry, including molecular distillation to remove contaminants and rigorous testing for heavy metals, PCBs, dioxins and oxidation markers. The TOTOX value (total oxidation score) of Epax® oils is consistently among the lowest available commercially — meaning the oil inside each Tri Omega 1000 capsule is genuinely fresh, potent and free from the rancidity that makes many cheap fish oil products counterproductive and unpleasant. When comparing omega-3 supplements, Epax® certification is one of the most reliable indicators of oil quality available to consumers.

Format and duration guide

Q1 — What makes Epax® fish oil different from regular fish oil? Epax® is a certified premium fish oil ingredient produced in Norway from sustainably sourced, cold-water fish. It undergoes molecular distillation and multi-stage purification to remove heavy metals (mercury, lead), PCBs, dioxins and other environmental contaminants to well below international safety limits. Its TOTOX value (a measure of oil oxidation and rancidity) is consistently among the lowest commercially available — meaning the oil is genuinely fresh and potent, not oxidised and counterproductive. When you pay for an Epax®-labelled product, you are paying for verified purity, freshness and omega-3 concentration, not just a marketing claim.

Q2 — Is 250mg of EPA + DHA per day enough? The 250mg/day of combined EPA + DHA is the EU-authorised threshold at which the claims for normal heart function, brain function and vision can be made — meaning it is the scientifically validated minimum for these specific health benefits. For athletes specifically targeting recovery, anti-inflammatory and performance benefits, research suggests that higher intakes (1 to 3g/day of EPA + DHA) produce stronger effects. At 2 capsules per day (500mg EPA + DHA), Tri Omega 1000 delivers double the minimum threshold, which is an effective maintenance dose for most active individuals.

Q3 — Can I take Tri Omega 1000 if I have a fish allergy? No. Tri Omega 1000 contains fish oil derived from marine fish, which is one of the 14 regulated EU allergens. It is not suitable for individuals with a fish allergy. Vegans and individuals with fish allergies who want omega-3 supplementation should look for algae-based DHA supplements, which provide DHA (though typically not EPA) from microalgae — the original source of marine omega-3s in the food chain.

Q4 — Is Tri Omega 1000 suitable for vegans? No. The softgel capsule shell is made from bovine gelatin, and the active ingredient is fish oil — both animal-derived. The product is not suitable for vegans or strict vegetarians. As noted above, algae-based omega-3 supplements provide a vegan alternative for DHA supplementation.

Q5 — Which format should I choose — 100 or 400 capsules? The formula is identical in both formats. The 400-capsule format is the most economical choice per capsule for athletes who take omega-3 daily year-round — which is the recommended protocol. At 1 capsule per day, the 400-capsule bottle provides over 13 months of continuous supplementation from a single purchase, eliminating the risk of interrupting supplementation due to running out. The 100-capsule format is ideal for first-time users testing the product, or for athletes who prefer to manage stock in smaller quantities.
