Frequently asked questions

Why does the box say vegetarian capsules if it is fish oil?

The shell is plant-based rather than gelatin. The oil inside is from fish, so it is not suitable for vegetarians.

How long does a box last?

Thirty days at one a day, or a week at four.

Should I talk to my GP first?

Yes if you take blood thinners or blood pressure medication, or have a procedure coming up.

What does Friend of the Sea mean?

It is a certification scheme for sustainable fisheries and aquaculture that the fish oil is accredited under.

Does the NHS recommend oily fish?

The NHS advises two portions of fish a week, one of them oily. A supplement is an option if that does not happen.
