About this supplement
What Is Omega 3 - Balanced EPA / DHA?
Fish oil concentrate in a softgel, flavored with natural lemon oil. The formula carries both long-chain marine omega-3 fats instead of favoring one: EPA and DHA arrive at 1,200 mg and 900 mg per serving, with another 150 mg per serving of related omega-3 fats.
How It Works in the Body
All three belong to one family of long-chain fats, and the body puts them to two uses. The first is structural. They slot into cell membranes, where DHA is packed most densely into brain and retinal cells. The second is signaling. EPA is the main raw material for compounds that govern platelet stickiness and the winding down of a normal immune response. The smaller fraction, mostly DPA, converts onward into EPA or DHA.
What It Supports
- Heart and vessels: EPA and DHA support normal cardiovascular function.
- Brain and eyes: DHA is a structural part of neural and retinal membranes and supports normal brain function.
- Inflammatory balance: EPA gives the body raw material for signals that support a healthy inflammatory response.
- A fuller omega-3 spread: The related omega-3 fats contribute to your total long-chain omega-3 intake.
Who It May Suit
People who eat oily fish rarely and would rather not choose between EPA and DHA. It suits anyone who wants a fish oil that covers both jobs, and who likes a lemon-flavored softgel. The shell is gelatin, so it is not vegetarian, and it is not an option if you avoid fish.
Good To Know
Mixed tocopherols are included as an antioxidant; they take up oxygen damage before the fragile fats do. Talk with your healthcare provider before use if you take a blood thinner or an antiplatelet medicine, or if you have surgery coming up, because omega-3 fats can affect how readily platelets clump. Skip it if you are allergic to fish.

FAQ
Common questions
What is it?
A softgel of concentrated fish oil, flavored with natural lemon oil. It supplies both long-chain marine omega-3 fats: EPA at 1,200 mg per serving and DHA at 900 mg per serving, plus 150 mg per serving of related omega-3 fats. Concentrating the oil is what makes that spread fit into a softgel.
How does it work?
Your body puts these fats to two uses. It builds them into cell membranes, DHA especially, in brain and eye tissue, where they shape how flexible the membrane is. It also converts them into short-lived signaling molecules, mostly from EPA, that help govern platelet behavior and how an immune response settles.
What makes this blend different?
The ratio. EPA and DHA sit close to even here, tilted slightly toward EPA, rather than concentrated into one or the other. There is also 150 mg per serving of other omega-3 fats, the DPA and relatives that ride along in fish oil. Natural lemon oil supplies the flavor.
Who is it for?
People whose diets include little oily fish and who want a broad omega-3 rather than a single fat. It fits pescatarian eating patterns. It does not fit vegetarian or vegan ones: the oil comes from fish and the softgel shell is gelatin.
What should I know before taking it?
Omega-3 fats can affect how platelets clump, so talk with your healthcare provider before use if you take a blood thinner, an antiplatelet drug or aspirin, or if surgery is scheduled. Ask your provider as well if you are pregnant or nursing. Avoid it entirely if you are allergic to fish.
