FORMS OF OMEGA-3
When it comes to Omega-3 forms, there's a lot of fish tales.
Let's break down the three most common forms of Omega-3s found in consumer products:
NATURAL TRIGLYCERIDE
Omega-3 EPA and DHA in their natural triglyceride form, obtained directly from fish.
ETHER ESTYL
Created by combining fish oil with ethanol to concentrate Omega-3 fatty acids, regardless of final form (EE or rTG).
RE-ESTERIFIED TRIGLYCERIDE
A synthetic triglyceride formed through the re-esterification of ethyl esters.
Why OceanBlue Uses Ethyl Esters
-
Higher Potencies
Natural fish oil is only 30% Omega-3s. We use the Ethyl Ester form to cut the filler and concentrate EPA & DHA levels up to 85%—delivering way more of the good stuff per softgel.
-
No Fishy Burps
We leave the fishiness in the ocean. Our distillation process removes impurities to ensure you get all the benefits with zero fishy aftertaste.
-
Affordable Omega-3s for Anyone with a Body
Other brands add an extra synthetic step to convert oil back into triglycerides (rTG). We skip that unnecessary cost to deliver premium wellness at palatable prices.
The most important thing?
FOCUS ON THE AMOUNT OF OMEGA-3s RATHER THAN THE FORM.
Whether in EE or TG (or rTG) form, your body breaks Omega-3s down the same way and uses them just as effectively, especially when taken consistently and with food. What matters most is the amount you take, not the form.
OceanBlue’s Omega-3 2100 series, formulated with 2,100mg of Omega-3s in EE form per serving, has been clinically shown to raise Omega-3 levels in the body.
