HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Triple Strength Fish Oil plus CoQ-10 by GNC

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 4 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • “Total Omega-3 Fatty Acids” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (1,065 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Total EPA + DHA” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (1,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 4 active ingredients: Total Omega-3 Fatty Acids (a blend that includes EPA and DHA components), Other Omega Fatty Acids, Coenzyme Q-10 (CoQ-10), and the individual omega-3s Docosahexaenoic Acid and Eicosapentaenoic Acid. The fish oil provides omega-3s, which are healthy fats your body can't make on its own.

CoQ-10 is a compound your cells use for energy production. The product also contains several inactive ingredients — the softgel capsule itself (gelatin, water, glycerin, annatto, ethylcellulose, sodium alginate, and ammonium hydroxide) and other oils and fats (medium chain triglyceride, oleic acid, and stearic acid) — that help deliver and stabilize the active ingredients.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: support heart health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Angina, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Congestive heart failure (CHF), Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Coenzyme Q10 is rated "Possibly Effective" for Congestive heart failure (CHF) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Coenzyme Q10 is rated "Possibly Effective" for Myocardial infarction (MI).
  • Also on file: Coenzyme Q10 is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Angina, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, and more.

CoQ-10 is likely effective for CoQ-10 deficiency, and has possibly effective evidence for fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, congestive heart failure, and diabetic neuropathy. We don't have effectiveness ratings on file for the omega-3 fatty acids in this product, so the evidence we hold doesn't establish how well they work for any specific condition.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Coenzyme Q10

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

CoQ-10 is generally well tolerated when taken as directed. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal — appetite suppression, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, heartburn, nausea, and vomiting — though these occur in less than 1% of people, and may be minimized by splitting doses above 100 mg per day.

Headache, dizziness, insomnia, and skin itching have been reported rarely. There isn't enough reliable safety data during pregnancy, so it's best to avoid it unless your doctor advises otherwise.

Safety while breastfeeding hasn't been well studied; check with your doctor or pharmacist before use.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Coenzyme Q10

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Coenzyme Q10.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 198 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, double-check if you're on chemotherapy drugs (especially alkylating agents like cyclophosphamide) — CoQ-10 may reduce their effectiveness. The same goes for warfarin or other blood thinners; CoQ-10 could weaken them.

And let us know if you take blood pressure medications, since CoQ-10 might lower your pressure further.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is worth considering if you want omega-3s and CoQ-10 support, and you don't take chemotherapy, warfarin, or blood pressure medications — but definitely check your exact medications first using the tool on this page. If you do take any of those drugs, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting; they may need to monitor you or adjust your doses.

Formula

GNC Triple Strength Fish Oil Plus CoQ-10 combines two premium ingredients that support heart health. Triple Strength Fish Oil Our Triple Strength Fish Oil is packed with Omega-3s, including EPA, which is clinically shown to support hearth health. What's more, EPA supports circulatory health, as well as normal, healthy triglyceride and cholesterol levels, joint health and the body's natural anti-inflammatory response. Omega-3s also provide support for healthy vision, brain development and skin health. CoQ-10 CoQ-10 helps support heart health and a healthy cardiovascular system. Plus, CoQ-10 is beneficial for those taking statin drugs. Statin drugs can reduce the amount of natural CoQ-10 withing the body. Supplementing with CoQ-10 helps replenish CoQ-10 levels within the body. CoQ-10 is not a statin replacement and does not lower cholesterol. Consult with your doctor before discontinuing any medications when taking CoQ-10.

1,000 mg of EPA/DHA Omega-3s & 100 mg of CoQ-10

Coenzyme Q-103 drug types · 198 drugs

Alkylating Agents

Coenzyme Q10 has antioxidant effects. Theoretically, this may reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs that generate free radicals.
Theoretically, antioxidants such as coenzyme Q10 might protect tumor cells from chemotherapeutic agents that work by inducing oxidative stress, such as alkylating agents (e.g., cyclophosphamide) and radiation therapy. The clinical importance of this interaction is unknown.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Coenzyme Q10 is chemically similar to menaquinone and might have vitamin K-like procoagulant effects, which could decrease the effects of warfarin.
Concomitant use of coenzyme Q10 and warfarin might reduce the anticoagulant effects of warfarin. Four cases of decreased warfarin efficacy thought to be due to coenzyme Q10 have been reported. However, there is some preliminary clinical research that suggests coenzyme Q10 might not significantly decrease the effects of warfarin in patients who have a stable INR.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, coenzyme Q10 might have additive effects with antihypertensive drugs.
Some clinical research shows that coenzyme Q10 can significantly lower blood pressure, although other studies have shown conflicting results.

Triple Strength Fish Oil plus CoQ-10 by GNC: Common Questions

Does Triple Strength Fish Oil plus CoQ-10 by GNC interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Triple Strength Fish Oil plus CoQ-10 has a known interaction with 198 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Triple Strength Fish Oil plus CoQ-10 contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What's the difference between EPA and DHA? Do I need to know?
Both are omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil. This product includes both as part of its Total Omega-3 blend. We don't have separate effectiveness data on file for them, so we can't say which one does what — just that the combined omega-3s are in here.
Will this supplement give me the fish aftertaste some people complain about?
We don't have information on that in the product facts. A few things that might help: take it with food, refrigerate it, or ask the staff at the store if they've heard feedback on this particular GNC brand.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or nursing?
There isn't enough reliable safety data during pregnancy, so it's best to avoid it unless your doctor says it's okay. If you're breastfeeding, safety hasn't been well studied — talk to your doctor or pharmacist first so they can give you personalized advice.
Does this product have fillers or just the active ingredients?
It contains inactive ingredients: the softgel capsule is made of gelatin and other materials, and there are oils like medium chain triglyceride and stearic acid added to stabilize it. These are standard in softgel formulas.
What does CoQ-10 actually do in my body?
CoQ-10 is a compound your cells use to produce energy. It's likely effective if you have a CoQ-10 deficiency, and there's possibly good evidence for migraine headaches, heart failure, fibromyalgia, and nerve pain — though results vary from person to person.
