High strength and purity

Omega-3 Pure contains 750 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids in one capsule, of which 400 mg is EPA and 300 mg is DHA. This product is designed to provide optimal support for the brain, heart and general health, without a fishy taste or smell. The capsules are ultra-purified to eliminate contaminants, and contain no maltodextrin. The refining process starts immediately after catching wild Alaska cod, with minimal exposure to heat to ensure extremely low levels of oil oxidation. The TOTOX value of our Omega-3 is below 5 (the industry standard is 26), which underlines the product's high quality and freshness.

Sustainable and traceable

The fishing used to produce Omega-3 Pure is sustainable, with less than 1% by-catch of non-target species. The fishery is managed through a holistic approach, overseen by the US government and the state of Alaska to ensure the continued health of the fish stocks. Unlike many available softgel capsules on the market, which are made from bovine gelatin, our capsules are made from pure fish gelatin.

Why Omega-3 as a dietary supplement?

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that the body cannot produce on its own, and they play an important role in lipid metabolism and general human physiology. The most relevant omega-3 fatty acids for human health include alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The body can only get EPA and DHA through the diet or in limited amounts by converting ALA from food. As we age, the body's ability to convert ALA into essential Omega-3 fatty acids such as DHA decreases.

Oily fish, which are naturally rich in EPA and DHA, are a key component of official dietary recommendations. However, many people do not consume enough oily fish to meet the recommended daily intake of these essential omega-3 fatty acids. This can be due to various reasons, but fish remains our primary source of EPA and DHA. At the same time, health authorities recommend limiting fish consumption due to potential contamination from environmental toxins such as dioxins, PCBs and heavy metals such as mercury.

However, these concerns do not apply to high-quality fish oil supplements, which are purified to minimize or eliminate these contaminants. As a result, many individuals choose daily fish oil supplements as a reliable way to ensure that they get the full benefit of these important long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Omega-3 index and health benefits

The Omega-3 index refers to the levels of EPA and DHA in the body, which can now be measured through tests such as a finger-prick blood test. This test determines the omega-3 index, which reflects the percentage of EPA and DHA in the cell membranes of red blood cells and provides a reliable measure of omega-3 levels. The omega-3 index is closely related to the amount of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids in various tissues and organs, including the heart.

Current research suggests that an optimal omega-3 index is at least 8%. Achieving this level may require higher doses of EPA and DHA, especially for individuals following a typical Western diet, which is often high in omega-6 fatty acids. For those with a lower omega-3 index (around 4.5%, which is common in Western populations), supplementing with 2 grams of EPA/DHA daily can help increase the index to around 8% within about three months. For continuous maintenance, a daily intake of 700-1000 mg EPA/DHA may be sufficient, depending on dietary habits.
