Product & Plan FAQsAbout Super Omega-3
- Does Super Omega-3 help combat hair loss?
It’s not designed specifically for that, but healthier hair can be a benefit, as the supplement does contain flaxseed oil. You should take Omegas 3’s for your general wellness.
- Does Super Omega-3 replace my Healthy Fat Serving(s)?
No, you take it in addition to your healthy fat serving. The Super Omega-3 does not contain enough fat to count as a fat serving.
- Does it matter if I take it with a Medifast Meal or with my Lean & Green Meal?
No, you can take Super Omega-3 with any meal at any time of day.
- Are there any side effects?
No.
- Can I take Super Omega-3 if I have a shellfish allergy?
Yes.
- Can I take Super Omega-3 if I have a fish allergy?
Super Omega-3 is composed mainly the fish oil—1200 mg—with a touch of organic flaxseed oil (50 mg.)
- What is the ratio of fish oil to flaxseed oil?
No, this is not enough fat in a serving. The Healthy Fat serving on the 5 & 1 program can help you accomplish that goal.
- Does Super Omega-3 help prevent gallstones?
Yes, and you should when you’re in the weight maintenance. You do not need a vitamin if you’re in the weight loss phase of the Medifast 5 & 1 Plan.
- Can I take Super Omega-3 in addition to my multivitamin?
No, the range between RDA and upper tolerance limit is huge, Vitamin E is an antioxidant whose tolerable upper limit for adults is 1000 mg. Average vitamin E from Medifast meals is 60 IU (54.5 mg) plus 10-20 IU (9.1-18.2 mg) d-l-alpha tocopheral acetate, so even when you’re taking the supplement as directed, you are not getting near the upper limits.
- Super Omega-3 contains 67% of the Daily Value of vitamin E – Won’t I overdose on vitamin E if I take this along with my Medifast Meals?
Our Omega-3 is third-party tested to guarantee both its purity and that the product really contains what the label states.
- Since the FDA doesn’t regulate dietary supplements, how do I know that Super Omega-3 is safe?
Yes.
- Is Super Omega-3 available in cases?
The vitamin E in the product is from the base of soybean oil. Most people with soy allergies are allergic to soy protein, which should be removed from soybean oil. Although unlikely, cross-contamination is possible, so a severely allergic customer should not use this product.
- Does Super Omega-3 contain soy?
It’s a softgel capsule that is not a vitamin but a fatty acid dietary supplement.
- Is Super Omega-3 a vitamin pill?
Each dose contains 25 calories, no carbs.
- Does Super Omega-3 contain calories and carbs?
No, the soft gel capsule is made from gelatin, which is not kosher.

Over 18.
- Is Super Omega-3 okay for long-term use?
Yes.
- Why can’t I store the bottle in direct sunlight?
