Can You Take Fish Oil (Omega-3) and Rosehip Oil (Supplement) Together?

May affect absorption

The short answer

Rosehip Oil (rich in linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid) and Fish Oil compete for intestinal lipid absorption via micelle formation. Taking both large-dose lipid supplements together may reduce absorption of each.

How to arrange timing

Separate Rosehip Oil and Fish Oil by at least 1 hour to optimize absorption of both.

Important context

Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
