Nutridom Omega-3 | 1000 mg Canadian Harp Seal Oil | Natural DPA | 300 Softgels Nutridom

Harp seal oil is one of the few marine sources that naturally provides all three long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA, DHA, and DPA in a single softgel. Each 1000 mg softgel of wild Canadian harp seal oil (Phoca groenlandica) provides EPA 76 mg, DHA 99 mg, and DPA 48 mg in the natural triglyceride form. 

What Is DPA and Why Does It Matter?

DPA (docosapentaenoic acid) is a long-chain omega-3 fatty acid found in meaningful concentrations in marine mammals but present only in trace amounts in most fish oils. DPA is naturally found in human blood, heart muscle, brain, and breast milk. The body can convert DPA to EPA or DHA as needed, making it a metabolic reservoir for both. Harp seal oil provides all three marine omega-3s EPA, DHA, and DPA in one softgel. Most fish oils provide only EPA and DHA.

Natural Triglyceride Form

Harp seal oil is processed in the natural triglyceride form the same molecular form found in whole fish and human body fat. Many concentrated fish oil products are processed into the ethyl ester form during manufacturing. Natural triglyceride form omega-3s are generally well absorbed.

Wild Canadian Harp Seal

Harp seals (Phoca groenlandica) are wild marine mammals of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. The Canadian harp seal harvest is regulated by Fisheries and Oceans Canada under federal law, with annual catch limits set based on scientific population assessments. Conducted by Indigenous and coastal communities in Atlantic Canada and Quebec. The oil is extracted from blubber and processed in Canada with d-alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) added as a natural antioxidant to protect freshness.

Clinical Research

Docosapentaenoic Acid (DPA) from Seal Oil Retroconversion to EPA and Elongation to DHA in Humans

Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, 1999

This study examined the metabolic fate of DPA (docosapentaenoic acid, n-3) from seal oil in healthy human subjects, specifically its retroconversion to EPA and elongation to DHA. The study documented that orally administered DPA from seal oil was efficiently absorbed and metabolized, with measurable retroconversion to EPA and elongation to DHA in human plasma and red blood cell phospholipids. The authors concluded that DPA from seal oil functions as a metabolic reservoir for both EPA and DHA in humans, supporting stable omega-3 levels over time and providing a metabolic flexibility not available from EPA or DHA supplementation alone.

Bioavailability of Omega-3 Fatty Acids from Seal Oil Compared to Fish Oil in Healthy Adults

Lipids, 2004

This randomized crossover study compared the bioavailability of omega-3 fatty acids from harp seal oil and fish oil at equivalent EPA and DHA doses in healthy adult subjects. The study documented that seal oil omega-3s particularly DPA were absorbed more efficiently and incorporated into plasma phospholipids and red blood cell membranes more effectively than equivalent doses from fish oil. The authors attributed the superior bioavailability of seal oil omega-3s to the mammalian phospholipid-rich fat structure of seal oil, which more closely resembles human cell membrane composition than the triglyceride structure of fish oil.

EPA and DHA from Marine Oils and Cardiovascular Risk Markers A Systematic Review

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2006

This systematic review examined the clinical evidence for EPA and DHA supplementation from marine oil sources on cardiovascular risk markers including serum triglycerides, blood pressure, endothelial function, and platelet aggregation. The review documented that EPA and DHA supplementation from marine oils produced statistically significant reductions in serum triglycerides and improvements in endothelial function across multiple randomized controlled trials. The authors concluded that EPA and DHA from marine oil sources are well-supported for cardiovascular health support, with the magnitude of triglyceride reduction correlating with baseline triglyceride levels and dose.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Harp Seal Oil 1000mg used for?

This is a Health Canada licensed natural health product (NPN 80045660) for adults. Each softgel delivers 1,000mg of pure Canadian harp seal oil providing EPA (76mg), DHA (99mg), and DPA (48mg) per softgel. It supports cardiovascular health, healthy inflammation response, joint health, and brain function. Sourced from the regulated harp seal harvest in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

What is DPA and why does harp seal oil have 10x more than fish oil?

DPA (docosapentaenoic acid, n-3) is a long-chain omega-3 fatty acid found in significant concentrations in marine mammals but present only in trace amounts in most fish oils. Harp seal oil contains approximately 10 times more DPA than conventional fish oil. DPA serves as a metabolic reservoir for both EPA and DHA it can be retroconverted to EPA or elongated to DHA as needed, helping maintain stable omega-3 levels over time. DPA has also been studied independently for cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory properties.

Why is harp seal oil better absorbed than fish oil?

Harp seal oil is a mammalian fat with a molecular structure more similar to human cell membranes than fish oil. This structural similarity supports more efficient absorption across the intestinal wall and more effective incorporation into human tissues particularly for DPA. Research comparing seal oil and fish oil at equivalent omega-3 doses has shown superior bioavailability for seal oil omega-3s.

How does harp seal oil compare to fish oil and krill oil?

Fish oil provides EPA and DHA but contains only trace amounts of DPA and has a fish-derived fat structure with lower mammalian bioavailability. Krill oil provides EPA and DHA in phospholipid form with good bioavailability but also contains minimal DPA. Harp seal oil is the only commercially available omega-3 source that provides meaningful amounts of all three long chain omega-3s EPA, DHA, and DPA in a mammalian fat structure with superior bioavailability, particularly for DPA.

Who should consult a healthcare practitioner before use?

Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you are taking blood thinning medications (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel), are scheduled for surgery (discontinue 2 weeks prior), have a bleeding disorder, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. Omega-3 fatty acids have blood thinning properties at higher doses.
