omega-3
Super Omega-3 EPA/DHA
This unique formulation includes sesame lignans and olive extract to mimic the heart-healthy benefits of the Mediterranean diet and protect the oil from rancidity. It is a highly stable oil with excellent clinical backing.
Quality & Materials
Contains 1200mg EPA and 900mg DHA per serving. Includes 300mg of olive extract and 10mg of sesame seed lignan extract.
Evidence & Testing
IFOS 5-star rated. Life Extension is known for rigorous ingredient sourcing and internal quality control protocols.
Brand Transparency
Provides a Certificate of Analysis for every product sold, though the website interface for finding them is slightly less intuitive than Nordic Naturals.
Value Assessment
Moderate pricing. While not the cheapest per mg of EPA/DHA, the addition of protective antioxidants adds value for those concerned with oil stability.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most fish oils only provide EPA/DHA; Life Extension adds polyphenols (from olives) and lignans (from sesame) which research suggests may enhance the effectiveness of the omega-3s and prevent the oil from oxidizing in the body.
