Nordic Naturals ProOmega®-D Xtra Lemon (237 ml) contains per daily dose of 1 teaspoon (5 ml) 3,400 mg omega-3 fatty acids, including 1,950 mg EPA and 975 mg DHA, supplemented with 25 mcg (1,000 IU) vitamin D3. The fish oil is derived from sustainably caught wild anchovies, sardines, mackerel and herring, and the omega-3 fatty acids are present in the triglyceride form (rTG). The liquid oil has a fresh lemon flavour and is practical if you prefer not to take capsules. Take 1 teaspoon daily with a meal, so the oil easily fits into your daily routine. One bottle, with daily use, is sufficient for about 48 days.
Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids that naturally occur in oily fish, shellfish, crustaceans, algae and certain plant foods. The most well-known forms are EPA, DHA and ALA. Each teaspoon of this oil contains 3,400 mg omega-3 fatty acids.
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are omega-3 fatty acids mainly found in fish and algae. ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) is a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid found in, among others, flaxseed, chia seeds and walnuts. This oil contains 1,950 mg EPA and 975 mg DHA per daily dose.
Omega-3 naturally occurs in oily fish, such as salmon, herring, mackerel, sardines and anchovies. Plant sources of omega-3 include flaxseed, chia seeds, hemp seeds and walnuts.
In fish, omega-3 fatty acids naturally occur as triglycerides. When concentrating fish oil, the fatty acids are often converted to the ethyl ester form. With rTG, which stands for re-esterified triglyceride, the fatty acids are then converted back to the triglyceride form, as they also occur in fish.
Vitamin D3, also called cholecalciferol, is a fat-soluble vitamin. It naturally occurs in certain foods, such as oily fish and eggs. This oil contains 25 mcg (1,000 IU) vitamin D3 per teaspoon.
Vitamin D3 is fat-soluble and is therefore often dissolved in an oil before being added to a product. In this formula, olive oil is used as a carrier for the vitamin D3.
