Fish Oil Concentrate

(50/20)

Supplies the long-chain omega-3s EPA and DHA that support heart health.*

Role

The omega-3 source of the formula.

Why this form

A 50/20 concentrate (about 50% EPA and 20% DHA) gives 1,050 mg of EPA + DHA from 1,500 mg of oil, so two softgels are enough.

When

With a meal, preferably one containing dietary fat.

02 / 04

EPA

(eicosapentaenoic acid)

Supports healthy triglyceride levels already within the normal range and normal heart function.*

Role

Primary omega-3 in the formula.

Why this form

EPA-forward, at 750 mg EPA to 300 mg DHA, the balance used in much of the cardiovascular research.

When

Daily, with food; benefits build with consistent use.

DHA

(docosahexaenoic acid)

Coenzyme Q10

Supports cellular energy production in the heart and fat-soluble antioxidant protection.*

Role

Mitochondrial cofactor.

Why this form

Dispersed in the fish oil inside the softgel, which helps absorption of this fat-soluble compound. 50 mg per softgel.

When

With a fat-containing meal. See the warfarin note.
