Frequently Asked Questions

How does EurOmega-3 compare to fish oil?

EurOmega-3 is not a fish oil product, and the numeric measurements between fish oil products does not apply to EurOmega-3. EurOmega-3 is an extract of omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids, and fish bioactive peptides from the head of the salmon. The DHA and EPA are in a 2:1 ratio. Much higher levels of DHA compared to EPA is exactly as it occurs in the salmon–and in the human brain. Studies have illustrated that absorption and utilization of omega-3 fatty acids are more important than sheer numbers. The amount of DHA and EPA in EurOmega-3 is about what you would get in a serving of fresh salmon. Additionally, the ability to deliver omega-3 fatty acids without causing oxidative stress and damage to the body is a remarkable advance in omega-3 science.

What is the difference between triglycerides and phospholipids in an omega-3 product?

In unrefined fish oil, the omega-3s are transported by triglycerides. Triglycerides are slow and inefficient carriers, and most people do not feel they need more triglycerides in their body. EurOmega-3’s omega-3s are attached to phospholipids NOT triglycerides. Phospholipids have been shown in laboratory models and also in living systems to boost absorption. Additionally, phospholipids themselves have tremendous health benefits. Some of the phospholipids in EurOmega-3 are phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylserine. The health benefits from EurOmega-3 stem from phospholipid-bound absorption, the fish bioactive peptides, the bio-identical EPA and DHA, and from the phospholipids themselves.

EurOmega-3 is one tablet a day, but are there situations where you can take more than one?

For healthy individuals who seek additional omega-3 supplementation, one EurOmega-3 per day is sufficient. For someone seeking higher levels of omega-3s, we recommend 1 tablet twice daily. A dose of fish oil can be up to 9 capsules per day, or spoonsful of liquid oil, which can cause compliance issues.
