Fish oils & omegas
Omegas are vital to a longer life.
Your body needs fatty acids to survive. Take care of your heart, joints, and cognitive health and counteract inflammatory factors with optimal doses of especially EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids.

- Normal aging results in a progressive decline in immune function. Healthy immunity, however, can be supported using nutrients that function via multiple pathways.
- Frequent colds, difficulty fighting off infections, persistent fatigue, or digestive issues, could be a sign that your immune system could use some support.
- Long hours indoors during the winter months are challenging for immune health; that's not to say that the warmer months don't come with their own struggles, too.
Why omega-3s are so important

Why these ingredients are very important
In order to live long, healthy lives, we need our immune system to function at peak form on a daily basis.
Optimal immunity requires a daily intake of vitamin C and several other immune-supporting nutrients. You see three of them below.
Why vitamin C
The activity of many immune cells is closely related to their vitamin C content, and research shows that vitamin C promotes a healthy immune system in a variety of ways. The human body can't produce or effectively store vitamin C. In order to maintain optimal immunity, it’s good to replenish your supply through daily supplementation.
Why zinc is important
Zinc is a powerful mineral that helps keep your immune system functioning at peak performance. But zinc deficiency is common, especially in older people. Your body does not naturally produce zinc, so you need to eat a diet rich in zinc or incorporate a high-quality zinc supplement into your wellness routine to get all its health benefits.
Why vitamin D
Vitamin D (especially vitamin D3) plays a critical role in healthy immune function. It fortifies the immune system, helping to protect the body from infections, and lessening their severity. For most people, diet and sunlight are not enough to maintain optimal vitamin D levels. That means that supplementing with vitamin D is recommended.

Enjoy exceptional freshness
There are quality criteria for fish oil, and it must be cleaned and processed.
The need for purity and stability
Environmental contaminants such as heavy metals, dioxins, and PCBs accumulate in fish, and fish oil needs to undergo processing and cleaning to ensure a safe product with absent or very low levels of these toxins.
Aside from purity, stability is important as fish oil can go rancid and would then not be as healthy anymore. The processing also needs to be gentle to protect the delicate omega-3 fatty acids.
State-of-the-art process in sustainable fisheries
All the fish oils from Life Extension® are of the highest quality and do not contain contaminants, on the contrary, they often exceed industry standards for purity and quality.
They have undergone state-of-the-art processing, which results in good stability. They are made in sustainable fisheries and processed within hours to provide exceptional freshness.
The IFOS certificate
All the Super Omega-3 formulas have also undergone IFOS testing and bear the IFOS seal.
IFOS is an independent organization setting the highest quality standards for fish oil and testing for purity, stability, and potency.
No more fishy aftertaste...
This processing also means that you can avoid acid regurgitation with a fishy aftertaste — as can be quite normal with the intake of fish oil.
If you want to be absolutely sure of no fishy aftertaste, you can choose "enteric coated softgels" for extra protection. Learn more about the product here.
Fat, fatty acids, omegas, fish oil, EPA/DHA in a nutshell
The body requires fat for energy, structural and other purposes.
Fat is composed of fatty acids. Only two fatty acids which come from plants are essential for the body, one in the omega-6 family (linoleic acid) and one in the omega-3 family (alpha linolenic acid, ALA).
Omega fatty acids are unsaturated fatty acids that have special, beneficial properties, versus saturated fatty acids/fat from milk and meat.
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic) are the biologically important omega-3 fatty acids from fish. While these are not essential as the body could build them from ALA, the production is not efficient and thus it's better to obtain EPA and DHA in preformed form.
A typical Western is often filled with foods containing high amounts of omega-6 fats (red meat, poultry, eggs, and most processed foods) and are usually lacking omega-3 fatty acids, which promotes inflammation. But, omega-6 is not all bad as some amount is required, and one omega-6 fatty acid (GLA) is especially beneficial as it helps counteract inflammation.
In essence, most people don't obtain enough health promoting omega-3 (EPA and DHA) from the diet and can benefit from fish oil supplementation.
