Omega 3

A clean, concentrated omega-3 formula.

IPS Omega 3 delivers EPA and DHA — the two long-chain omega-3 fatty acids — as marine triglycerides, in a soft gel capsule. It’s a source of omega-3 fatty acids for the maintenance of good health, taken as 2 capsules a day.

Why these ingredients

• Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid — the body cannot produce it itself, so it has to come from diet or supplementation. Unlike omega-6, which is easy to get enough of from a typical diet, omega-3 usually isn’t.
• DHA is the most important omega-3 fatty acid, forming part of the cell membranes throughout the body — it’s found in particularly high amounts in the retina, brain and sperm.
• This specific EPA/DHA combination supports the maintenance of good health and supports cognitive health and brain function.
• Sustainably sourced from cold-water fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, tuna and sardines.

This might be for you if…

• You want your EPA and DHA amounts stated on the label, not folded into a vague “fish oil” figure.
• You’re comfortable with a marine-derived softgel — not suitable if you have a seafood allergy (see below).
• You’re an adult, 18 or older.
