Polleo Sport Omega Xtreme – 60 softgels

Product overview

Polleo Sport Omega Xtreme is a food supplement containing fish oil, the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, and added vitamin E. The product comes in softgel capsules, with 60 capsules per pack. This makes it a straightforward option for anyone who wants to include fish oil in their daily routine without having to handle liquid oil.

Each capsule contains 1,200 mg of fish oil. This is not the same as the amount of omega-3: the label lists EPA and DHA separately, at 323 mg EPA and 215 mg DHA per capsule. This distinction is worth noting when comparing fish oil products. Vitamin E is also included, and the capsules are flavoured with natural lemon oil.

Polleo Sport is the brand behind the product. The information available here does not describe the brand’s founding history or any particular manufacturing philosophy, so no such details can be confirmed. The product’s formulation is clear, however: fish oil with specified amounts of EPA and DHA, complemented by vitamin E, in a portion-sized softgel. It is stated to be manufactured in the EU, while the fish oil originates from outside the EU.

Omega Xtreme may be a practical choice for anyone who prefers a ready-made portion to measuring out fish oil. It can, for example, fit into a routine at home or while travelling. The product contains fish, and the capsule shell is made from bovine gelatin, which is important to consider when choosing a supplement.

Active ingredients & science

The key ingredients are fish oil containing EPA and DHA, and vitamin E. EPA stands for eicosapentaenoic acid and DHA for docosahexaenoic acid; both are omega-3 fatty acids. Each capsule provides 323 mg EPA and 215 mg DHA, in addition to 1,200 mg of fish oil in total. Listing the amounts separately makes it easier to see how much of these fatty acids the product provides.

Vitamin E is added in the form of D-alpha-tocopherol. Each capsule contains 2 mg. The manufacturer also states authorised contributions from EPA and DHA to normal heart function, and from DHA to normal brain function and normal vision; these claims apply under the conditions established for the nutrients. The product information does not provide specific details about the fish oil’s concentration method, chemical form beyond the listed ingredients, or bioavailability studies.

Benefits & uses

• A clear source of EPA and DHA: The amounts of the two omega-3 fatty acids are listed separately from the total fish oil content, making it easier to read the label and compare products.
• Convenient portion format: Softgel capsules are an option for anyone who would rather take fish oil in capsules than use liquid oil.
• Suitable for a regular routine: The pack of 60 capsules may be practical for anyone who wants to keep a supplement at home and follow the label instructions.
• Contains vitamin E: The product combines fish oil with 2 mg of vitamin E per capsule in the form of D-alpha-tocopherol.
• Flavoured with lemon oil: Natural lemon oil is included, which may be relevant to anyone looking for flavouring in a fish oil product.
• For everyday use and travel: The ready-made portion requires no measuring and may be easy to take with you, provided the product is stored according to the instructions.

The product may be of interest to adults who want to supplement their diet with fish oil and appreciate having the EPA and DHA content specified. However, it is not a substitute for a varied diet or a replacement for medical advice. If you already use other supplements containing omega-3 or vitamin E, it may be sensible to compare their contents and ask a healthcare professional for advice if you are unsure.

Use & dosage

The product information does not specify an exact recommended daily dose or how many capsules make up a serving. Therefore, follow the dosage instructions on the packaging and do not exceed the stated amount. Each capsule contains 1,200 mg of fish oil, 323 mg EPA, 215 mg DHA and 2 mg vitamin E, but these content figures should not be interpreted as a dosage recommendation.

No specific time of day is given, and there is no information on whether the capsules should be taken with food. Follow the packaging instructions for use. To make the routine easier to remember, you can choose a regular time that suits your daily schedule, as long as you follow the label instructions. If you take medicines, use several supplements or have questions about how the product fits with your diet, consult a doctor or another qualified healthcare professional.

Quality & manufacturing

According to the product information, Omega Xtreme is manufactured in the EU, while the fish oil originates from outside the EU. The information therefore states where the product is manufactured and where the raw material comes from, but does not specify the fish species, fishing area, sustainability certification, purity testing or any particular production standard. We therefore do not add properties that are not stated in the source information.

The formulation contains fish oil, vitamin E in the form of D-alpha-tocopherol, a tocopherol-rich extract as an antioxidant, and natural lemon oil as a flavouring. The capsule shell consists of bovine gelatin, glycerol and water. The manufacturer states that the product is free from milk, dairy products, wheat and gluten, and that it contains no GMO ingredients. The product contains fish and is not suitable for anyone avoiding animal-derived ingredients.

Store the product in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight and at a temperature below 25°C. The pack contains 60 softgel capsules. Always follow any additional storage information on the label and check the product’s expiry date. The available product information does not state any specific certifications or whether the packaging is recyclable.

Who is the product suitable for?

Omega Xtreme may suit adults who want to use fish oil in a ready-made softgel and appreciate clearly stated amounts of EPA and DHA. It may also be an option for anyone who prefers a product with added vitamin E and natural lemon oil. The product information does not specify a particular age group or target audience, so follow the packaging instructions and do not choose the product for children without first checking its suitability with a healthcare professional.

The product contains fish and a capsule shell made from bovine gelatin. It is therefore not suitable for vegetarians or vegans and should be avoided by anyone with an allergy to fish or any other ingredient. The manufacturer states that it is free from milk, dairy products, wheat and gluten, but this does not replace checking the label individually in cases of allergy or intolerance.

The product information gives no specific advice for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medicines or has a medical condition should consult a doctor or midwife before use. The same caution applies if you already take other products containing fish oil or vitamin E.

Summary

Polleo Sport Omega Xtreme combines fish oil with specified amounts of EPA and DHA, as well as added vitamin E, in a pack of 60 softgel capsules.

It is important to note, however, that it contains fish and bovine gelatin.

Choose this product if you are looking for fish oil in a portion-sized format and want to see the amounts of EPA and DHA listed separately on the ingredient declaration.
