Our Premium 3 Fish Oil capsules contain 570mg of responsibly sourced omega 3 oil. For those that like the technical information that is at least 300mg of EPA, 200mg of DHA and 70mg of the other Omega 3 oils.

The highly concentrated soft gel fish oil capsules come from responsibly sourced fish stocks, with the fish oil suppliers operating within the global standards (IFFO). They use the latest refining technology to ensure much lower fat and calories than regular fish oil. This technology also purifies the fish oil removing a wide range of contaminants present in the world fish stock and reduces any unpleasant odours or reflux.

We also sent the soft gel capsules away for lab testing. The results established that no mercury was detected and the levels of omega 3 were confirmed. In fact the actual levels of omega 3 were higher than the specification, from the manufacturer.

Importantly, the level of omega 6 is low, less than 60mg, making this an excellent supplement to raise your omega 3 levels and improve your crucial omega 3/omega 6 ratio.

The ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 is important. For good health we should ideally have less than nine parts omega 6 to one part omega 3. However, the current New Zealand average is estimated to be around 16 parts omega 6 to one part omega 3. This is because omega 6 is found in a lot of food whereas omega 3 is much harder to obtain from our diet.
