About this supplement
What Is Omega 3 - EPA Elite?
Fish oil from pollock, concentrated so that EPA leads by three to one: 750 mg of EPA per serving against 250 mg per serving of DHA. The softgel carries a light citrus flavor. This is the EPA-weighted member of the omega-3 range rather than an all-rounder.
How It Works in the Body
EPA is a twenty-carbon fat with five double bonds. It shares that length with arachidonic acid, an omega-6 fat, and the two draw on the same enzymes. So the balance between them shapes which signaling molecules the body makes. EPA is also the starting point for the E-series mediators that close out an inflammatory episode. The smaller DHA share does structural work in nerve and eye membranes, and the trace omega-3 fats convert onward into EPA.
What It Supports
- Inflammatory balance: EPA is the substrate the body draws on for signals that support a healthy inflammatory response.
- Heart and circulation: EPA supports normal platelet behavior and cardiovascular function.
- Mood: Marine omega-3 fats support a calm, balanced mood.
- Membrane supply: The DHA share contributes to the structural omega-3 pool in nerve and eye tissue.
Who It May Suit
Anyone who wants the EPA side weighted heavily: people who already get DHA from fish, or who simply prefer an EPA-forward oil. It fits pescatarian patterns and a citrus flavor preference. It is not vegetarian, since the oil comes from pollock and the shell is gelatin.
Good To Know
Pollock is a lean white fish, and the oil drawn from it is concentrated, then stabilized with mixed tocopherols, a vitamin E form that oxidizes before the omega-3 fats do. Talk with your doctor before use if you take warfarin, an antiplatelet drug or aspirin, since marine omega-3 fats can affect clotting. Anyone allergic to fish should pass on it.

FAQ
Common questions
What is it?
A concentrated pollock-oil softgel weighted toward EPA: 750 mg of EPA per serving and 250 mg per serving of DHA, plus 60 mg per serving of other omega-3 fats. It has a light citrus flavor. EPA and DHA are the two long-chain omega-3 fats found in marine oils.
How does it work?
EPA is absorbed and parked in your cell membranes. From there, enzymes convert it into short-lived signaling molecules, among them the E-series mediators involved in ending an inflammatory episode. Because EPA and the omega-6 fat arachidonic acid compete for those enzymes, the ratio held in your membranes matters.
What makes this formula different?
The ratio and the source. EPA outweighs DHA three to one, so the formula leans on the signaling side of omega-3 chemistry rather than the structural side. The oil comes from pollock, a lean white fish, and the softgel carries a citrus flavor with mixed tocopherols.
Who is it for?
People who want an EPA-weighted omega-3, often those who already eat oily fish or who have been pointed toward EPA by their practitioner. It works within pescatarian eating. It does not work for vegetarians or vegans, since both the oil and the gelatin shell come from animals.
What should I know before taking it?
Marine omega-3 fats can affect how platelets clump, so speak with your provider before use if you take warfarin, an antiplatelet medicine or aspirin, or if you have a procedure scheduled. Anyone with a fish allergy should avoid it. Check with your provider during pregnancy or nursing.
