A comprehensive omega-3 supplement from Life Extension in softgel format - 120 pieces per course. Combines fish oil in three molecular forms, Antarctic krill oil, olive extract and astaxanthin. Gluten-free and GMO-free formula, Non GMO LE Certified.
Composition and dosage: what's in each serving
Daily dose - 4 capsules (2 capsules twice a day with meals). The basis is a concentrate of fish oil from anchovies, sardines and mackerel in three forms: triglycerides, ethyl ether and phospholipids. Additionally - omega-3 phospholipids from Antarctic krill, Mediterranean olive extract, sesame lignans and astaxanthin.
Auxiliary components: gelatin, glycerin, beeswax, silicon dioxide, natural lemon flavor, extra virgin olive oil, maltodextrin, mixed tocopherols, rosemary extract, caramel color.
Contains allergens: molluscs and crustaceans (krill), sesame.
Three forms of omega-3 in one capsule - why is that?
Most supplements on the market contain omega-3s only in the ethyl ester form - this is a technologically simpler and cheaper form. Super Omega-3 Plus combines three molecular forms at once: triglycerides (the natural form of fish oil), ethyl ester and krill phospholipids. Different forms of omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids can differ in their absorption profile - this is the rationale that Life Extension gives for this approach.
The phospholipid fraction comes specifically from Antarctic krill oil: unlike regular fish oil, the omega-3s in krill are naturally bound to phospholipids - the same molecular form in which fatty acids are present in cell membranes.
Astaxanthin and olive extract: the antioxidant part of the formula
Astaxanthin is a carotenoid pigment that gives krill and salmon their distinctive color. In the supplement, it acts as a fat-soluble antioxidant that protects polyunsaturated fatty acids from oxidation right in the capsule—and, according to Life Extension, supports this function in the body.
Mediterranean olive extract and sesame lignans are ingredients inspired by the Mediterranean diet. Both sources are traditionally associated with cardiovascular support in a dietary context, although the supplement is not a medicinal product.
How much EPA and DHA is in a daily serving?
The exact amounts of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) per serving are listed on the original packaging label - check the current composition there, as the manufacturer may update the formula. The total content of omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids is formed from two sources: fish oil concentrate and krill oil.
The recommended dosage is 2 capsules twice daily with meals, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Taking with a meal containing fat is standard practice for fat-soluble nutrients.
Who is this omega-3 format suitable for?
Soft gelatin capsules with natural lemon flavor are a format often chosen by those who are bothered by the characteristic fishy smell or aftertaste of regular fish oil capsules. The lemon flavor is included directly in the formula.
120 capsules with a daily serving of 4 pieces - this is a 30-day supply. The format is convenient for daily use and storage at home.
The supplement is positioned as a support for those who want to get omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids from several sources at once, and not just from one type of fish oil. Suitable for adults who follow a gluten-free diet. Not suitable for people with allergies to shellfish, crustaceans or sesame.
Storage conditions and quality of raw materials
Fish oil in the composition - a highly refined concentrate from anchovy, sardine and mackerel. Mixed tocopherols and rosemary extract in the composition act as natural antioxidants to stabilize fatty acids. Store in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight. The exact expiration date is on the packaging.
Dietary supplement. Not a medicinal product. It is recommended to consult a doctor before taking, especially if you have chronic diseases or are taking medications that affect blood clotting.
