SwansonOmega-3 fish oil with vitamin D

Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids. They are divided into different types, including ALA (from plant sources) and the well-known EPA and DHA (mainly from fish oil).

Fatty acids are building blocks of fats. They occur in food and are divided into saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Each type has a different chemical structure and is found in various food sources.

Saturated fatty acids have a straight structure without double bonds and are commonly found in animal fats such as butter and cheese. Unsaturated fatty acids have one (monounsaturated) or multiple (polyunsaturated) double bonds and are mainly found in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, and fish.

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is a commonly used form of vitamin D. It is added as a supplement to the diet, especially during the months when sun exposure is limited.

TOTOX stands for the total oxidation of the oil. A low value indicates less breakdown by oxygen, which contributes to the freshness and quality of the product.

No, thanks to the natural lemon flavor, the chance of a fishy taste or burps is limited. Many users experience this as a fresh way to take fish oil.

Taking it with a meal, especially a meal containing some fat, helps with the absorption of both the omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D. Both are fat-soluble substances, which means they are better absorbed in combination with food.
