Super Omega-3 EPA / DHA Fish Oil, Sesame Lignans & Olive Extract

For more than 30 years, Life Extension® has been one of the leaders in omega-3 supplement production. They were also the first to show with scientific results that omega-3s play a role in heart function.

The Super Omega-3 EPK / DHK nutritional supplement with sesame lignans and olive extract provides pure, fresh fish oil sourced from a sustainable source - South African anchovies caught off the coast of Chile. Fish oil was rated with the highest 5-star rating according to the International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS). The IFOS program measures the quality of omega-3 products against global standards set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN).

The IFOS assessment considers each of the following four categories:

Category 1 - tests the concentration of omega-3 in the product.

Category 2 - tests the number of toxins and pollutants such as mercury, PCBs, dioxins and furans.

Category 3 - tests for oxidation to assess the stability of the product.

Category 4 - tests heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, nickel and lead.

The product will only receive the highest IFOS rating (five stars) if it is rated in all four categories. Therefore, the IFOS assessment is a very useful tool for testing the quality of fish oil, ensuring efficiency and guiding users to the best choice of fish oil.
