Life Extension's Super Omega-3 is a concentrated, IFOS 5-star certified fish oil with added olive extract and sesame lignans. The format is designed for those who want to get more than just EPA and DHA, but an expanded complex with plant-based components of the Mediterranean diet.
Composition and dosage: what's inside each capsule
The basis of the supplement is Pure+ fish oil concentrate, obtained from anchovies caught in the South Pacific Ocean off the coast of Chile. The fish oil is processed directly in Chile within a few hours of being caught - this is the standard of freshness laid down in the production process.
It contains omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), olive extract with polyphenols (equivalent to approximately 4 tablespoons of unrefined extra virgin olive oil) and sesame lignans. The latter are added to protect the fatty acids from peroxidation.

How much omega-3 should you take per day and how to do it correctly?
The manufacturer recommends taking 2 capsules twice a day with meals - that is, 4 capsules per day. This is a standard regimen for concentrated forms of fish oil: taking with meals increases the absorption of fat-soluble components and minimizes stomach discomfort. The recommended dose should not be exceeded. If necessary, individual dosage should be agreed with a doctor.
How is Super Omega-3 different from regular fish oil?
Most omega-3 supplements on the market contain only EPA and DHA in varying concentrations. Life Extension Super Omega-3 is supplemented with two botanicals, which sets it apart from standard formulas.
Olive extract contains polyphenols - the same compounds associated with the benefits of the Mediterranean diet. Sesame lignans act as a natural antioxidant inside the capsule: they slow down the oxidation of fatty acids, which has a positive effect on the quality of the product itself. This approach - adding stabilizing components directly to the composition - is not found in all manufacturers.
IFOS Certificate: What Does It Mean for the Buyer?
IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards) is an independent fish oil testing program. A five-star IFOS rating means that the product has been tested for EPA/DHA content, compliance with the declared composition, levels of contaminants (heavy metals, dioxins, PCBs) and degree of fat oxidation. For the buyer, this is an external confirmation of quality, which does not depend on the manufacturer's own statements.
Who is this omega-3 format suitable for?
Super Omega-3 in softgels format is convenient for daily use: the capsule does not have a pronounced fishy taste thanks to the natural flavoring and antioxidants in the composition. A bottle of 60 capsules with a 4-per-day regimen is designed for approximately 15 days - this should be taken into account when planning your order.
The supplement is gluten-free and GMO-free (Non-GMO LE Certified), making it suitable for people with dietary restrictions. The gelatin capsule shell is not of plant origin, so the product is not suitable for vegan diets.
Storage conditions
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. After opening the bottle, it is recommended to store in the refrigerator - this is standard practice for concentrated forms of fish oil, which slows down the oxidation of fatty acids and extends the shelf life of the opened package.
