Key Takeaways
Omega-3s are essential fatty acids that support brain, heart, and immune health, but many people don't consume enough through diet alone.
When choosing an omega-3 supplement, the amount of combined EPA and DHA is a better indicator of potential benefits than the total fish oil dose.
With 2,000 mg of EPA+DHA and multiple third-party certifications, AG Omega3 offers a convenient, high-quality way to help bridge common dietary gaps.
Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of essential polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) that play an important role in supporting overall health. They're essential building blocks of cell membranes, helping to protect and support the function of every cell in the body.1 This is particularly beneficial for the brain, eyes, and heart.2
Omega-3s come in different forms. The most beneficial—EPA and DHA—come mainly from fatty fish like salmon, sardines, mackerel, and trout. These long-chain forms are assembled over the course of the food chain, starting as another form, ALA, in microalgae. ALA is also found on land in plant sources like flaxseeds and walnuts.
However, in humans, the process of converting ALA into the more usable EPA and DHA is often inefficient and varies with sex and diet.3,4 People primarily obtain these forms through fatty fish or supplements.
A combination of DHA and EPA is important to get the full benefits of fish oil. DHA is a key structural component in the brain, supporting cognitive function and healthy memory. EPA (and to a lesser extent, DHA) supports a balanced immune response and helps support cardiovascular health and normal blood vessel function.
Health organizations usually recommend an average of 250–500 mg of combined EPA and DHA per day.15 In general, eating fatty fish 1–2 times per week is sufficient.12 However, according to National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data, 68% of adults and 95% of children get less than the recommended baseline amount of omega-3s.11
Due to inconsistent intake, many people take fish oil or another omega-3 supplement to fill gaps. When comparing supplements, the important question isn't what the overall fish oil dose is, but how much EPA and DHA the supplement provides. Some supplements advertise a high amount of fish oil but consist largely of naturally occurring fatty acids and lipids that may not share the same health benefits as EPA and DHA.
AG Omega3 provides concentrated EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids to support healthy brain function, memory, cardiovascular health, and everyday immune health.* It provides 2,000 mg of combined EPA and DHA, sourced from wild-caught small fish, in a highly bioavailable form.
AG Omega3 is rigorously third-party tested and holds NSF Certified for Sport®, Friend of the Sea, and International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS™) certifications. That means it is rigorously tested for strength, contaminants, and freshness; and that our omega-3s come from responsibly managed fisheries that help protect ocean ecosystems while meeting strict standards for quality, traceability, and purity.
