Description
DHC DHA 60-Day Supply — 240 Capsules, DHA 510 mg and EPA 110 mg per Serving
Overview
DHC's four-capsule daily omega-3, built on refined fish oil produced in Japan. A serving supplies DHA 510 mg and EPA 110 mg, plus vitamin E 60.0 mg carried in the oil.
This is a food with function claims notified to Japan's Consumer Affairs Agency under number I408. The notified wording is: this product contains DHA and EPA, which have been reported to lower blood triglyceride levels and to help maintain memory, a part of cognitive function that declines with age in middle-aged and older people. A notification is a filing, not a drug approval, and it has no standing outside Japan.
The barcode on this listing, 4511413406007, is DHC's 240-capsule pack. At four capsules a day that is 60 days — three times the duration in the handle. The pack maths is printed below.

Who Is This For?
- Adults who eat little oily fish and want a measured daily DHA and EPA intake
- People who want the higher DHA loading rather than an EPA-led formula — this pack is about five parts DHA to one part EPA
- Anyone comparing omega-3 products by milligrams rather than by capsule count
- NOT for anyone with a fish allergy
- NOT for people taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication without medical advice, and not in the run-up to surgery
- NOT for those who are ill, minors, or women who are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding — this is the standard boundary of the Japanese function-claims category
How to Use
- Take four capsules per day.
- Swallow them with water or lukewarm water.
- Take them with or just after a meal — fish oil on an empty stomach causes fishy burps in many people.
- You can split them, two with lunch and two with dinner, if four at once is a lot.
- Keep the pack closed, away from heat and light, and out of the reach of children.
Frequency: Four capsules every day. The 240-capsule pack covers 60 days at that rate.
Full Ingredients
Full declaration (Japanese-market pack): refined fish oil (produced in Japan), vitamin E-containing plant oil / gelatin, glycerin.
Nutrition per 4 capsules (2,020 mg): energy 14.7 kcal, protein 0.48 g, fat 1.37 g, carbohydrate 0.11 g, salt equivalent 0.005 g, vitamin E 60.0 mg. Functional components: DHA 510 mg, EPA 110 mg.
Vitamin E at 60.0 mg a day sits well inside the European tolerable upper intake of 300 mg for alpha-tocopherol, but it is a meaningful amount and is worth counting if you take vitamin E separately or are on an anticoagulant.
The capsule shell is gelatin, so this is not a vegetarian or vegan product. DHC does not declare the animal source of the gelatin on the pack, so we cannot confirm halal status either way.

Cautions
- Contains fish. The active ingredient is refined fish oil. Do not take this if you have a fish allergy.
- Omega-3 at this dose thins the blood. If you take warfarin, a direct oral anticoagulant, aspirin or any antiplatelet medicine, speak to your doctor before starting, and tell your surgeon or dentist before any procedure.
- A food with function claims is not intended for the treatment of illness and is not for people who are ill, for minors, or for women who are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
- Contains gelatin, so it is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans; the animal source of the gelatin is not declared, so halal status cannot be confirmed.
- Fish-oil capsules commonly cause fishy burps, mild nausea or loose stools, especially on an empty stomach. Taking them with food usually settles it.
- Do not exceed the stated daily serving. More is not better with this formula.
- This is a food, not a medicine. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and it is not a substitute for a varied diet or for medical advice.
- Stop taking it and speak to a doctor if you feel unwell after use.
- Store away from direct sunlight, high temperature and humidity, and out of the reach of children.

FAQ
Is this 20 days, 30 days or 60 days?
Sixty. The barcode on this listing, 4511413406007, is DHC's 240-capsule pack and the stated serving is four capsules a day: 240 ÷ 4 = 60 days. DHC sells the same formula in 20-day and 30-day packs under different barcodes, which is how the confusion arises. We print the arithmetic on every card so you can check it yourself.
What is the difference between this and DHC EPA Premium?
The ratio. This pack is DHA-led — 510 mg DHA to 110 mg EPA. EPA Premium reverses that, at 705 mg EPA to 155 mg DHA, and its notified function is triglycerides only, while this one also carries a memory claim. Both are fish oil and both carry the same allergen and anticoagulant cautions.
What does notification number I408 mean?
It is the filing DHC made with Japan's Consumer Affairs Agency for the wording it prints on the pack: that DHA and EPA have been reported to lower blood triglycerides and to help maintain memory in middle-aged and older people. A notification is a filing, not a drug approval, and it has no legal standing outside Japan.
Can I take it with blood-thinning medication?
Not without asking your doctor first. Omega-3 at 620 mg of DHA plus EPA a day has a measurable effect on clotting, which matters alongside warfarin, direct oral anticoagulants, aspirin and antiplatelet drugs, and before surgery or a dental extraction.
Will it repeat on me?
It can. Fishy burps are the usual complaint with any fish-oil capsule and they are worse on an empty stomach. Taking the capsules with or straight after food, and splitting them across two meals, deals with it for most people.
