The main ingredient is purified fish oil, obtained from wild-caught sardines and anchovies. This oil features two long-chain omega-3 fatty acids: DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), present in greater quantity here, and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). These are nutrients that the body primarily obtains through diet, particularly from fatty fish, and whose authorized claims are indicated in the previous section.
The softgel is made of gelatin, with glycerin and water, and the natural strawberry flavor is present in both the softgel and the formula. The formula also includes d-alpha-tocopherol and rosemary extract, which here serve a technological function of protecting the oil against oxidation — they are not added as nutrients and no effect is attributed to them.
How it fits in
Among omega-3 formulas, this one has a DHA-predominant profile, unlike balanced or EPA-predominant formulas. The choice depends on the goal: those simply seeking a general omega-3 intake usually opt for a balanced formula; those who want to specifically boost the DHA fraction choose this one. The softgel format facilitates transport and precise dosing, unlike liquid oil, which allows for dose adjustment but requires a measuring spoon and refrigeration after opening.
To consider
- Consult a doctor before use in case of iodine allergy, if taking anticoagulant medication, or if you have scheduled surgery.
- Contains fish. Not suitable for those with fish allergies.
