1400mg EPA + DHA from re-esterified triglyceride form. IFOS five-star purity. Lemon-finished, zero burp.
Key actives per 2-softgel serving
The sourcing story
The vast majority of fish oil sold in the US is in the ethyl-ester (EE) form — a manufacturing shortcut that increases extraction yield but reduces bioavailability by roughly 70% compared to the natural triglyceride (TG) form. We re-esterify our concentrate back to the triglyceride structure that your gut is built to absorb. It costs more. Absorption is the only thing that matters.
Each two-softgel serving delivers 1400mg combined EPA + DHA — specifically 800mg EPA and 600mg DHA, the ratio supported by the cardiovascular and cognitive literature. Sourced from sustainably-harvested Peruvian anchovy and sardine via Friend of the Sea-certified vessels, molecularly distilled, IFOS five-star verified for oxidation and heavy metals.
Most customers take both softgels with their largest meal of the day. The lemon-oil finish suppresses the back-of-throat reflux that's the biggest reason people quit fish oil. We've never had a customer complain about burping the bottle.
Our anchovy and sardine are harvested off the Peruvian coast by Friend of the Sea-certified vessels operating under strict quota management. Cold-chain holds from boat to processing. Molecular distillation under nitrogen blanket removes PCBs, dioxins, and mercury below ICH-quality thresholds. Then the ethyl esters are converted back to natural triglycerides via enzymatic re-esterification — the cost step most brands skip.
Supplement Facts
IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards) tests for oxidation, heavy metals, PCBs, and dioxins. Five stars means in the cleanest ~5% of all assayed fish oils on the global market. Our Totox runs under 10 on every batch — the industry threshold is 26.

01 · The protocol
Omega-3s are fat-soluble — absorption is dramatically improved when paired with dietary fat. Take with the largest fat- containing meal of the day.
02 · Why this form
Re-esterified TG vs ethyl ester (EE): the triglyceride form is 70% more bioavailable in published head-to-head trials. Most US fish oil is sold as EE because it's a cheaper production method. Look at the supplement panel — if it doesn't say 'triglyceride form,' it's almost certainly EE.
03 · Stack it
The two most common pairings our formulator recommends, plus a cardiovascular-targeted stack for higher-risk profiles (always under physician guidance for elevated doses).

IFOS 5-Star Verified
The International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS) program is the only third-party fish-oil certification that publishes batch-level data publicly. We're tested for oxidation (peroxide and anisidine), heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic), PCBs, dioxins, and furans — against thresholds significantly tighter than the GOED industry minimums.

I'm a registered dietitian and I refer roughly half my clients to this product. The triglyceride re-esterification is the part most fish-oil brands skip — and it's the part that actually matters for absorption. IFOS five-star on every batch. Hard to find a closer-to-perfect formulation.

Annual physical: triglycerides down 32 points, HDL up 6, hsCRP from 2.1 to 0.8. The only thing I changed was switching from drugstore fish oil to this. Lemon finish means I can take it on an empty stomach without burping. Stupidly good product.

I run an endurance program for masters-level athletes. We have everyone on 2-4g EPA+DHA per day during peak training blocks. This is the only product I trust to actually deliver the labeled dose without oxidation. The Totox under 10 is the spec I look for and rarely see published.
