Pros and cons

✓ Pros

  • Enteric coating is the fix for fish burps and aftertaste
  • Purified to remove mercury, and the brand states it
  • A recognised international supplement brand sold through a mall store

✗ Cons

  • 30 softgels makes the per-softgel cost high next to bulk bottles
  • 300 mg of omega-3 per softgel, so heavy users need several a day

Nature’s Bounty Fish Oil 1000mg is the coated option in a trial size: 30 softgels for around ₱492 as of August 19, 2026.

Who is the coating for?

Anyone who has quit fish oil because of the taste. The enteric coating holds the softgel together through the stomach so it dissolves further along, which is the direct mechanical fix for fishy burps and repeat.

That complaint is the single most common reason people abandon an omega-3 habit, so solving it is worth more than an extra hundred milligrams of oil would be.

What is in it?

1,000 mg of fish oil carrying 300 mg of total omega-3 per softgel, which is the standard concentration in this category and is at least published, unlike several cheaper listings here. Two softgels take that to 2,000 mg of oil and 600 mg of omega-3.

The oil is purified to remove mercury, and the brand states it rather than implying it.

What are the limits?

Size and split. Thirty softgels is a month, which puts the cost per dose well above the bulk bottles here. And while the total omega-3 is published, the EPA and DHA are not broken out separately the way Webber Naturals does it.

Is it sulit?

At around ₱492 as of August 19, 2026, it costs roughly twice the cheapest 30-count box and buys you a coating, a published omega-3 figure and a recognised brand. As a way to test whether coated softgels solve your problem, that is money well spent. As an ongoing supply, it is expensive per day.

Who should buy it

Buy this if aftertaste is your specific obstacle and you want to test the fix before buying in bulk. Skip it if burps have never bothered you, where a plain bulk bottle costs far less.

Alternatives to consider

If the coating works for you and you want a year of it, the LAC Trimax EC 120-count is enteric coated in a much larger bottle. If aftertaste is not your issue, the Webber Naturals 300-count publishes a full EPA and DHA split at a far lower cost per dose.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much omega-3 is in a softgel?

1,000 mg of fish oil carrying 300 mg of total omega-3. Two softgels give 2,000 mg of fish oil and 600 mg of omega-3, which is how the label states the larger serving.

What does the coating do?

It keeps the softgel intact through your stomach so it dissolves further down. That is the direct fix for the fishy burps and aftertaste that make people stop taking fish oil, and it is the main reason to pick this one.

Is it purified?

Nature's Bounty states the oil is purified to eliminate mercury. Purification matters in any fish oil, since the contaminant load comes along with the oil unless it is actively removed.

Is 30 softgels enough?

It is a month at one a day, which makes it a trial size rather than a stock-up. If the coating solves your aftertaste problem, a larger enteric-coated bottle will cost far less per dose.
