OmegaGenics™ EPA-DHA 500 120 Softgels

Metagenics’ OmegaGenics EPA-DHA 500 (formerly known as EPA-DHA Extra Strength) provides a total of 500 milligrams of omega-3 essential fatty acids per soft gel. It is a combination of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) derived from fish oil. EPA and DHA are omega-3 fatty acids that your body needs, but cannot make on its own, which is why they are called ‘essential.’ You must obtain them from diet or supplementation. This supplement provides a convenient 600 mg of EPA and 400 mg of DHA, derived from fish such as sardines, anchovies, and herring.

Both EPA and DHA compete against an inflammatory compound called arachidonic acid (AA) for space in cell membranes. If you have more EPA and DHA in your system, the chances will be reduced for AA to make its way into your cells.

While you’re trying to balance your omega-3 to omega-6 ratio, you should try to avoid or reduce your intake of foods that are exceptionally rich in omeg-6 fatty acids, such as avocados, whole grains, nuts, and seeds—in addition to processed foods and vegetable oils. As long as your diet is built on an imbalanced ratio of fatty acids, you will benefit from omega-3 supplementation in the form of DHA and EPA.

OmegaGenics EPA-DHA 500 Softgels by Metagenics was designed to help people get their omega-3 to omega-6 ratios back in check, as evidence has shown this can reduce your risk for inflammatory conditions. Rosemary extract is included to stabilize the oil, so it maintains freshness for a longer period of time. This formula was produced in a licensed Norwegian facility and tested to ensure that there are no contaminants. Each bottle contains 120 enteric-coated softgel capsules, which should last for about one month at the recommended dosage.
