Omega 3: all products

Omega 3 fatty acids are among the most studied active ingredients in the field of dietary supplementation. In this collection, you will find 106 products selected based on quality and traceability criteria: capsules, pearls, liquid oils, and advanced formulations designed to meet different needs and preferences. Before starting any supplementation, we recommend consulting your trusted doctor or pharmacist.

How to choose the omega 3 product that is right for you

The first criterion to consider is the form of fatty acids: products may contain EPA, DHA, or a combination of both, in the form of re-esterified triglycerides or ethyl esters. Carefully read the label to check the actual concentration of EPA and DHA per daily dose, not just the total amount of oil. Also evaluate the source: fish oil (salmon, anchovies, sardines), krill oil, or plant sources such as algal oil, particularly suitable for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet.

A common mistake is to choose based on the largest capsule or the most convenient bottle without comparing the actual concentration. Always check the declared EPA/DHA ratio, the presence of purity certifications (absence of heavy metals and contaminants), and the pharmaceutical form: gastro-resistant pearls reduce the typical fish aftertaste. If you are taking anticoagulant medications or have cardiovascular diseases, consulting your doctor is essential before starting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between EPA and DHA?

EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are both long-chain omega 3 fatty acids, but with different structural characteristics. Their specific functions are the subject of ongoing research; to understand which formulation is best suited to your situation, consult your pharmacist or doctor.

Are plant-based omega 3s equivalent to those from fish?

Plant sources such as flaxseeds and chia seeds primarily contain ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), which the body converts into EPA and DHA in limited amounts. Algal oil, on the other hand, represents a direct source of plant-based DHA. Read the label to check which form the product you are considering contains.

How should these products be properly stored?

Omega 3s are sensitive to heat, light, and oxygen. Always follow the instructions on the label: generally, it is preferable to store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct light. Some liquid oils require refrigeration after opening.
