DHC EPA Premium 20-Day Supply — 120 Capsules, EPA 705 mg and DHA 155 mg per Serving
Overview
DHC's highest omega-3 loading: six capsules a day supplying EPA 705 mg and DHA 155 mg, 860 mg of the two combined. DHC doubled the loading of its previous EPA product to reach this, and launched it in 2024.
This is a food with function claims notified to Japan's Consumer Affairs Agency under number I926. The notified wording is: this product contains fish-derived EPA, which has been reported to lower blood triglyceride levels. A notification is a filing, not a drug approval, and it has no standing outside Japan.
The barcode on this listing, 4511413407950, is DHC's 120-capsule pack. At six capsules a day that is 20 days, not 30. DHC also sells a 30-day pack of the same product under a different barcode, so the two are easy to confuse — the barcode settles it.

Who Is This For?
- Adults who want an EPA-led omega-3 rather than a DHA-led one
- People comparing omega-3 supplements by milligrams of EPA rather than by capsule count
- Anyone who eats little oily fish and wants the higher of DHC's two loadings
- NOT for anyone with a fish allergy
- NOT for people on anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication without medical advice — 705 mg of EPA a day is a dose at which this matters
- NOT for those who are ill, minors, or women who are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding
How to Use
- Take six capsules per day.
- Swallow them with water or lukewarm water.
- Take them with or just after a meal — six fish-oil capsules on an empty stomach are hard work.
- Split them across two meals, three and three, if six at once is too many.
- Keep the pack closed, away from heat and light, and out of the reach of children.
Frequency: Six capsules every day. The 120-capsule pack covers 20 days at that rate.
Full Ingredients
Full declaration (Japanese-market pack): EPA- and DHA-containing refined fish oil (produced in Japan) / gelatin, glycerin, antioxidant (vitamin E).
Nutrition per 6 capsules (2,736 mg): energy 20.2 kcal, protein 0.63 g, fat 1.86 g, carbohydrate 0.24 g, salt equivalent 0.005 g. Functional components: EPA 705 mg, DHA 155 mg.
Vitamin E is present as an antioxidant to keep the oil from going rancid, not as a declared nutrient, so no amount is given for it on the panel.
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.
Composition and specification as declared by DHC on its official product page.
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 pack 20 days or 30 days?
Twenty. The barcode on this listing, 4511413407950, is DHC's 120-capsule pack and the stated serving is six capsules a day: 120 ÷ 6 = 20 days. DHC sells a 30-day pack of the same product under a different barcode, which is exactly why we print the arithmetic instead of repeating a number from the product name.
Why six capsules a day?
Because reaching 705 mg of EPA takes that many. This is DHC's highest omega-3 loading — 860 mg of EPA and DHA combined, double the previous formulation — and the dose is spread across six softgels rather than concentrated into fewer, larger ones.
How is it different from DHC DHA?
The ratio is reversed. This pack leads on EPA, 705 mg to 155 mg of DHA, and its notified function is triglycerides only. DHC DHA leads on DHA, 510 mg to 110 mg of EPA, and adds a memory claim. Same fish oil, same allergen, same anticoagulant caution.
What does notification number I926 mean?
It is DHC's filing with Japan's Consumer Affairs Agency for the wording printed on the pack: that fish-derived EPA has been reported to lower blood triglyceride levels. A notification is a filing, not a drug approval, and it has no legal standing outside Japan.
Can I take it before surgery?
Tell your surgeon or dentist that you take it and follow their instruction. EPA at 705 mg a day affects clotting, and the usual advice is to stop omega-3 supplements some days before a procedure — but that timing is theirs to set, not ours.
