purified Fish Oil
Fish oil is a dietary supplement derived from fatty fish like mackerel, salmon, and anchovies. It's rich in omega-3 fatty acids, specifically eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These fatty acids are crucial for various bodily functions, including brain health, heart health, and reducing inflammation. Fish oil is often consumed to support cardiovascular health, lower blood triglyceride levels, and potentially alleviate symptoms of certain inflammatory conditions. It is available in various forms, such as capsules, liquid, and as an ingredient in fortified foods.

General Statements |
- Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to the body and must be obtained through diet. Fatty fish, such as cod, tuna and salmon, are the best source, but they can also be found in some plant sources and in flaxseed, walnuts and soybeans. Most people do not eat enough of these foods, however, to obtain optimal amounts of omega-3 nutrients. In this case, taking a supplement such as Vitacost Mega EFA may be beneficial.
- Unlike other low-cost, low-grade fish oil supplements, which may contain traces of dioxin, mercury, PCBs and other environmental contaminants, Vitacost Mega EFA has been molecularly distilled to guarantee the freshest, purest product.
- How does Vitacost Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA support health?
EPA and DHA are well known for their cardioprotective properties, their ability to maintain healthy cognitive function, their potential to support healthy moods and their positive impact on joint comfort and flexibility.
Higher blood levels of omega-3 essential fatty acids including EPA and DHA are associated with a healthier mood.
