EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid, 180mg per softgel) is the primary omega-3 for cardiovascular health, supporting healthy triglyceride levels, healthy platelet aggregation, and a healthy inflammatory response in vascular tissue. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid, 120mg per softgel) is the primary structural omega-3 in brain tissue (approximately 97% of brain omega-3) and the retina (approximately 93%), essential for neuronal and photoreceptor cell membrane function. Both are provided in every softgel.

Plant omega-3 sources such as flaxseed and chia provide ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), which the body must convert to EPA and DHA. This conversion is inefficient typically below 10% for EPA and even less for DHA. Fish oil delivers EPA and DHA directly as preformed long chain omega-3 fatty acids, without requiring metabolic conversion.

Fish oil is sourced from anchovy, mackerel, and herring small, short lived, low trophic level fish that feed on plankton and accumulate significantly fewer environmental contaminants than large predatory fish such as tuna or swordfish. These species are harvested from cold, clean North Atlantic and North Pacific waters, including Canadian fishing waters, under federally managed fisheries with scientifically determined catch limits.

Yes. Taking fish oil with meals enhances absorption of fat soluble fatty acids and minimizes the possibility of gastrointestinal discomfort or fishy aftertaste. Dividing the daily dose between two meals (2 softgels with breakfast, 2 softgels with dinner) is the recommended approach.

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