About, ingredients & important information
Concentrated EPA and DHA for young-adult routines.
IPS Young Adult Omega 3 delivers the same EPA and DHA profile as IPS Omega 3, dosed for adults and children aged 14 and older. It’s a source of omega-3 fatty acids for the maintenance of good health, taken as 2 capsules a day.
Why these ingredients
- Essential fatty acids can’t be made by the body — they have to come from diet or supplementation, and are needed for normal cell, tissue and organ function throughout the body.
- EPA and DHA, found in oily cold-water fish such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, sardines and trout, support brain and nervous-system function by helping keep nerve membranes healthy and supporting normal neural signalling.
- Formulated to support cognitive health and brain function specifically for the 14+ age group.
This might be for you if…
- You want an omega-3 option dosed specifically for the 14+ age range, not just an adult product handed down.
- You’re comfortable with a marine-derived softgel — not suitable if you have a seafood allergy (see below).
- You’re 14 or older.
