About this supplement
What Is Omega 3 - High Potency?
Fish oil concentrated to an even split of the two marine omega-3 fats, with EPA and DHA at 800 mg per serving each. Lemon flavor, annatto for color, and two additions you do not always find in a fish oil: tocotrienols and lipase.
How It Works in the Body
An even split means neither job is favored. DHA goes into membranes, most heavily in brain and retinal cells, where its curled shape keeps the membrane fluid. EPA is largely spent: the body pulls it back out of membranes and converts it into short-lived signaling molecules that govern platelet stickiness and the close of an inflammatory episode. Both can be made from plant omega-3 fats in theory, but human conversion runs slow, so diet does most of the supplying.
What It Supports
- Heart and circulation: Both fats reach heart and vessel tissue and support normal cardiovascular function.
- Brain and eyes: The DHA half stocks the membranes of nerve and retinal cells, which supports normal brain and eye function.
- Inflammatory balance: The EPA half supplies raw material for the signals that support a healthy inflammatory response.
- Fat handling: Lipase, the enzyme class that splits dietary fat, is included in the softgel.
Who It May Suit
People who eat no oily fish and want a full omega-3 load in one serving, with neither fat favored. It suits a lemon flavor preference. The shell is bovine gelatin, so it is not vegetarian, not vegan, and not for anyone avoiding beef.
Good To Know
Tocotrienols are the less common branch of the vitamin E family, sourced here from annatto, and they sit in the oil as antioxidants. The lipase acts on the fat during digestion. Talk with your healthcare provider before use if you take a blood thinner or an antiplatelet drug, or if surgery is planned, because omega-3 fats can affect platelet clumping. It is not an option with a fish allergy.

FAQ
Common questions
What is it?
Concentrated fish oil in a lemon-flavored softgel, with EPA and DHA at 800 mg per serving each. It also carries annatto-derived tocotrienols, a form of vitamin E, and lipase, which is a fat-splitting enzyme. Annatto supplies the color as well.
How does it work?
The two fats divide the work. DHA is built into cell membranes, especially in the brain and retina, where it keeps them fluid. EPA is drawn back out and converted into signaling molecules that help govern platelet stickiness and the end of an inflammatory episode.
What makes this formula different?
The even ratio, and the extras. EPA and DHA are matched at 800 mg per serving each rather than weighted one way. Tocotrienols from annatto guard the oil against oxidation, and lipase is included to work on the fat as it is digested.
Who is it for?
People who eat little or no fish and want both omega-3 fats at a substantial per-serving amount, without picking a side. It suits pescatarian eating. It does not suit vegetarians, vegans, or people who avoid beef, because the softgel shell is bovine gelatin.
What should I know before taking it?
Marine omega-3 fats can affect how platelets clump, so talk with your doctor before use if you take warfarin, an antiplatelet medicine or aspirin, or have surgery scheduled. A fish allergy is a clear reason to avoid it. Check with your provider if you are pregnant or nursing.
