• Highly stable triglyceride form of Omega 3 oils.
• Absorption levels up to 51% greater than ethyl ester fish oils.1
• No harmful toxins such as mercury and lead are commonly found in fish.

• Capsulation completed in a nitrogen environment to minimize oxidation.
• Industry-leading DHA and EPA concentrations.
Essential fatty acids are oils that cannot be produced by the human body and must be consumed in the diet. Consumption of the two essential oils (Omega 6 and Omega 3) should be consumed at a ratio of 2:1. However, the ratio in the typical American diet is approximately 20:1. When this imbalance occurs, as it does in most Americans, it can cause problems in the function of the cardiovascular, reproductive, immune, endocrine, and nervous systems.
Omega 3 Plus will provide you with a balanced Omega 3 oil that combats the imbalance of essential oils in the body.*
