Omega-3 fatty acids have a mild antiplatelet effect at higher doses, meaning they can slightly affect blood clotting (Bloomer et al., 2013; OmegaQuant). This is especially important for people already taking blood-thinning medication (e.g., warfarin) or diagnosed with blood clotting disorders, as the combination can increase the risk of bleeding. Maxximum Omega 3 clearly states this risk on the label and recommends consulting a doctor or pharmacist before use, which is a responsible approach – the fact that some other products in this category do not explicitly state this warning does not mean the risk doesn't apply to them, only that it is less transparently labeled.

This means the manufacturer guarantees that every 100 mg of fish oil in the capsule contains at least 18 mg EPA and 12 mg DHA – so it's a controlled, consistent ratio of active fatty acids, rather than raw, non-standardized fish oil where the content could be more variable. At a dose of 2000 mg fish oil per day (2 capsules), this equals approximately 360 mg EPA and 240 mg DHA, totaling 600 mg EPA+DHA. Standardization is a positive feature because it allows for more predictable dosing compared to products that only state the total amount of fish oil without breaking it down into EPA and DHA.

The product is manufactured in a facility that, besides fish oil, also processes cereals containing gluten, milk, soy, eggs and nuts, so it may contain traces of these due to cross-contamination, which is clearly stated on the label. If you have a severe allergy to nuts or other listed allergens, consult an allergist or doctor before use, as AdvancedU cannot guarantee the complete absence of traces of these allergens in the production process.

600 mg of EPA and DHA per day falls within the clinically studied range of 250–1000 mg, which is associated with cardiovascular, anti-inflammatory, and neurocognitive benefits (ISSN Position Stand, 2025), making this dose reasonable for general health support. For specific therapeutic goals (such as more pronounced triglyceride regulation), studies have used higher doses, up to approximately 2-3 g per day, but whether and how to increase the dose should be decided together with a doctor, as higher doses require additional caution, especially regarding bleeding risk.
