Practitioner's guide

About omega-3 & fish oil.

Omega-3 fatty acids — primarily EPA and DHA from fish oil — are among the most-studied nutrients in modern medicine. The clinical evidence base spans cardiovascular health (multiple landmark trials), brain and cognitive function, mood regulation, joint inflammation, and pregnancy outcomes.

What separates a good omega-3 supplement from a mediocre one is rarely the milligrams on the label. The two things that matter most are the **molecular form** (triglyceride form is the form found in actual fish — about 30% more bioavailable than the cheaper ethyl ester form), and the **purity** (PCBs, dioxins, and mercury are real concerns in poorly-sourced fish oil; IFOS 5-star certification is the gold standard).

Our omega-3 selection focuses on triglyceride-form, third-party-tested products from Nordic Naturals, Life Extension, and NOW Foods.

What to look for

  • Triglyceride molecular form (the form found naturally in fish)
  • IFOS-certified for purity, freshness, and absence of contaminants
  • Combined EPA + DHA of at least 1,000 mg per serving for cardiovascular support
  • Wild-caught from sustainably-managed fisheries
  • Lemon or unflavored — no artificial flavors or colors

Quick answers

How much should I take?+

The American Heart Association recommends ~1,000 mg combined EPA+DHA daily for cardiovascular support. Higher doses (2-3 g) are used in clinical trials for triglyceride lowering and inflammation, under physician supervision.

Should I take it with food?+

Yes — with a meal that contains some fat. Omega-3s are fat-soluble and absorption roughly doubles when taken with food vs. on an empty stomach.
