Ultra Concentrated Omega-3

It depends on your health goals. A typical 1,000 mg fish oil pill contains about 300 mg of omega-3 fatty acids. You might need to take several pills to hit a meaningful daily target, even when you take triple-strength omega-3 fish oil. For general wellness, a minimum of 500 mg of omega-3 per day is a reasonable starting point. Many people find 1,600 mg a useful daily benchmark. For more specific goals, like joint or triglyceride support, research suggests 2,000-3,000 mg per day may be beneficial.

Each Ultra Concentrated Omega-3 softgel provides 1,135 mg of omega-3s, making it easier to reach a personal daily target with fewer pills. Consult your healthcare provider for guidance.

Fish oil omega-3 supplements come in different molecular forms, which affect how the oil is processed and absorbed. Most highly concentrated fish oils start as ethyl ester (EE), a necessary step in the concentration process. rTG, or re-esterified triglyceride, is produced by converting that concentrated oil back into triglyceride form. Fish oil triglycerides, including rTG form - are generally considered closer to how omega-3s appear in whole fish. OmegaVia has been manufacturing formulas in rTG form since 2016.

Triglyceride form is slightly better absorbed than ethyl ester, particularly on an empty stomach, although the difference becomes less significant when taken with a meal. Both forms support healthy omega-3 levels in the body.

The International Fish Oil Standards Program (IFOS) is a worldwide, independent certification program for omega-3 supplements. Products are tested against standards for active ingredient content, contaminants, and stability. No other certification program tests and posts fish oils by individual lot number, and results are fully transparent and publicly available. You can look up OmegaVia results by lot number before you even open the bottle. A five-star rating is the highest score possible. OmegaVia has earned this rating and even gone a step further by requesting radiation testing on each batch, with each batch certified radiation-free.

While its numerous health benefits make fish oil supplements popular for various wellness needs, they may also cause an unwelcome side effect: fishy burps. This aftertaste can deter people from taking fish oil supplements. Enteric coating offers a solution. OmegaVia applies a plant-based cellulose layer to the outside of each softgel, preventing it from dissolving in stomach acid.

Instead of breaking down in the stomach, the enteric-coated fish oil softgel travels to the small intestine, where it dissolves, and the oil is absorbed. At this point, the pill is too far along in the digestive system to find its way back up in a burp. Note that taking antacids or acid-reducing medication regularly can interfere with the intended effect.

OmegaVia Ultra Concentrated Omega-3 softgels do not contain shellfish or shellfish-derived ingredients. OmegaVia sources omega-3s from small fish, like sardines and anchovies, and makes the softgels with fish gelatin. For most people with a shellfish allergy who tolerate finned fish, there is unlikely to be any cause for concern. With that said, people with fish allergies should avoid fish oil supplements.

Plant-based omega-3 supplements like our Vegan Omega-3 Softgels may be an option. The IFOS 5 star-rated softgels contain 300 mg vegan DHA Omega-3 per pill. Whether or not you have an allergy or food sensitivity, it's still important to check with your healthcare provider before taking any supplements. They can advise on what's safe for you.

Ultra Concentrated Omega-3 is best taken with a meal. Dietary fat improves Omega-3 absorption, and taking it with food reduces the likelihood of digestive discomfort. Morning or evening is a matter of personal preference.

As for results, Omega-3 is not a drug, and results vary by individual. Some people notice improvements in joint comfort within days of taking Ultra Concentrated Omega-3. For cardiovascular and cognitive support, research suggests it can take three to four months of consistent daily use to see meaningful changes in Omega-3 levels in the body. The most important thing is consistency.

Consult your healthcare provider for guidance on dosage and timing specific to your health goals.
