Vitamins & health

Olympia's Vitamins & Health category has three sub-sections: Multivitamins, Omega-3 & Fish Oil, and Immunity & Wellness.

• Multivitamins for daily use
• Omega-3 and fish oil softgels
• Immunity and wellness products

Note: These are food supplements, not medicines.

A multivitamin is a single daily tablet or capsule that combines several vitamins and minerals in one serving, taken as general dietary support.

• Often used by people with repetitive or rushed eating habits
• Also common among people who train regularly
• Serving and timing follow the manufacturer's instructions on the label

Note: It supports a diet, it does not replace one.

Not necessarily. If your daily meals already cover a wide range of foods, a multivitamin adds convenience rather than something your diet is missing.

• Varied meals first, supplement second
• Some people still prefer one for consistency on busy days
• If you suspect a deficiency, speak to a doctor

Omega-3 supplements, usually sold as fish oil softgels, provide the fatty acids EPA and DHA that come mainly from oily fish.

• Labels list EPA and DHA per serving, not just total oil weight
• Take the number of softgels stated on the pack
• Store it as the storage line on the label says

Note: It is a food supplement, not a medicine.

Algae-based omega-3 is the usual vegetarian alternative to fish oil, and where we stock a plant-based option it will say so on the label.

• Check the source on the label: fish oil or algal oil
• Softgel shells may be gelatin, so read the capsule material
• Message us on WhatsApp +968 7161 1711 to check what is in stock today

Note: We do not claim a vegetarian certification for any product.

Immunity & Wellness is a group inside Vitamins & Health that holds everyday wellness supplements; they are food supplements and do not prevent, treat or cure illness.

• Read what each label actually states
• Use them alongside sleep, food and hydration, not instead of them
• See a doctor if you feel unwell

Note: Supplements do not diagnose or treat any condition.

Sunlight is the body's main natural source of vitamin D, and although sun is plentiful in Oman, individual levels still vary from person to person.

• Indoor work, covered clothing and sunscreen all reduce exposure
• A blood test from your doctor is the only way to know your level
• Do not start a high dose without medical advice

Note: Website content is not medical advice.

Follow the instructions on the label: many multivitamins and omega-3 products are taken with a meal, and the pack is the only accurate guide for that specific product.

• Fat-soluble vitamins are commonly taken with food
• Some labels suggest splitting the daily amount across two meals
• Ask your doctor if you take medication at meal times

Yes, a multivitamin is generally taken alongside protein powder and creatine, since the three serve different purposes and are not the same ingredients.

• Protein contributes to your daily protein intake
• Creatine monohydrate is one of the most researched sports supplements
• Keep each product at the serving stated on its own label

Note: Check labels for overlapping ingredients such as added caffeine.

Multivitamins are labelled for women or for men because the vitamin and mineral amounts differ, most visibly around iron content.

• Read the supplement facts panel rather than the front of the pack
• Either version can suit you if the amounts match your needs
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding needs a doctor's advice first

Ask your doctor or pharmacist before combining any vitamin or supplement with prescription medication, as Olympia cannot advise on drug interactions.

• Take a photo of the product label to the appointment
• Site terms state supplements are not for anyone on medication without a doctor's advice
• Supplements are not medicines and do not treat any condition

The format changes how you take it, not the category; compare the supplement facts panel per serving to see what you actually get.

• Check the serving size, some products count two units as one serving
• Gummies often carry added sugar, listed on the label
• Capsule shells may be gelatin or plant based

Note: The shop filters include Supplement Size (Tablets) to narrow options.
