Omega-3 fatty acids — specifically EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) — are among the most extensively researched nutrients in sports and general health nutrition. They support cardiovascular function, reduce exercise-induced inflammation, promote joint mobility, support brain health, and play a role in healthy testosterone levels. Yet most Canadians consume far less omega-3 than what research suggests is beneficial, making a quality fish oil supplement one of the highest-impact additions to any daily supplement routine. Bulldog Nutrition is an authorized Canadian and US retailer of premium omega-3 brands, with 10+ years in the industry.
Our omega and fish oil collection includes highly concentrated EPA/DHA formulas, enteric-coated options that prevent fishy aftertaste, and liquid fish oils for those who prefer not to swallow capsules. Brands include AquaOmega — a Canadian-based premium omega-3 brand — Revive MD Omega-3 (Informed Sport Certified), and more, all sourced directly from authorized brand channels.
What to look for in a fish oil: Total EPA + DHA content per serving matters more than total fish oil quantity. Look for at least 500mg of combined EPA + DHA per serving. Enteric coating prevents fishy burps and improves tolerability. Third-party testing (Informed Sport, NSF, IFOS) confirms purity and absence of heavy metals, PCBs, and contaminants.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much omega-3 should I take daily?
General health guidelines suggest 250–500mg of combined EPA + DHA daily for healthy adults. For athletes, those with cardiovascular concerns, or anyone seeking anti-inflammatory benefits from training, 1,000–3,000mg of combined EPA + DHA daily is commonly recommended by sports dietitians and supported by research. Follow your specific product label for dosage guidance.
What is the difference between EPA and DHA?
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) is primarily anti-inflammatory — it reduces the inflammatory compounds produced during intense exercise and supports cardiovascular health. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is critical for brain structure, cognitive function, and eye health. Both are essential and work synergistically — most quality fish oil supplements provide both in a meaningful ratio.
Why does fish oil cause burping, and how do I prevent it?
Fishy aftertaste and burps from fish oil occur when the oil is digested in the stomach. Enteric-coated capsules are designed to pass through the stomach intact and dissolve in the intestine — virtually eliminating fishy burps. Alternatively, take fish oil with meals (particularly those containing fat) and refrigerate your fish oil capsules to slow their breakdown in the stomach.
Can I take omega-3 fish oil with other supplements?
Yes — omega-3 fish oil is one of the most commonly stacked supplements and pairs well with vitamins, creatine, protein, and multivitamins. Take fish oil with meals containing dietary fat for best absorption of the fat-soluble EPA and DHA. If you are on blood-thinning medications, consult your doctor before supplementing with high doses of fish oil.
