Ultra Strength RxOmega-3 Factors is a pharmaceutical grade fish oil concentrate that is molecularly distilled and guaranteed for purity and safety from environmental pollutants like PCBs and mercury. Each softgel provides 900 mg† of total Omega-3 EPA and DHA. All you need is one per day.

Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. One serving (1 softgel) of Ultra Strength RxOmega-3 Factors provides 647 mg† of EPA and 253 mg† of DHA Omega-3 fatty acids.

† Amount expressed as ethyl esters.

Important Note: The two active ingredients of omega-3 fish oil are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). So it is important to buy a supplement having more DHA and EPA in each softgel. Some companies, just for marketing their product mention total fish oil content, which is not the right parameter of Omega 3. Consumer must compare the DHA & EPA content in each softgel before buying any omega 3 supplement.

Despite the fact ALA can be converted into EPA and DHA, this pathway is extremely ineffective. In fact, only 5% of ALA is changed into EPA and only 0.5% of alpha-linolenic acid can be converted to DHA. This is unfortunate for vegetarians and vegans that have thought they needed to use flax oil as their source of omega-3 fats. The reason this process inefficient is the polypeptide doing the conversion, delta-6-desaturase, is a rate limiting step. Delta-6-desaturase also competitively binds to omega-6 fatty acids, thereby making it less available to bind to and alter alpha-linolenic acid.
