What goes into each softgel
Each softgel contains 585 mg of fish oil from small fish of the anchovy, sardine and herring, mackerel and jack families. That oil provides 200 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 133 mg of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), for 333 mg of EPA and DHA combined.
LipoMicel is the Natural Factors name for a softgel line built around a liquid fill. In this softgel the fish oil sits with medium chain triglycerides, MSM, purified water, glycerin, alkalized cocoa powder, xylitol and tocopherols, inside a gelatin shell. Because the shell is gelatin, the product is not vegetarian.
EPA and DHA are both long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. Oily fish and other seafood are the main food sources of the two, which is why most omega-3 supplements start from fish.
How it compares
LipoMicel Omega-3 sits beside the other LipoMicel products at Vitasave, such as Quercetin LipoMicel Matrix, Berberine LipoMicel and Glutathione LipoMicel Matrix. Within Natural Factors fish oils, RxOmega-3 Extra Strength gives more EPA and DHA per softgel; LipoMicel Omega-3 is the lower-dose, one-softgel option.
How to take it
Adults take 1 softgel a day. The only caution on the licence is to keep the bottle out of reach of children. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.
Who it suits
Adults who want a modest daily amount of EPA and DHA in a single small softgel and would rather not swallow large capsules. The 60-count bottle is a two-month trial size; the 120-count bottle holds the same softgel for four months.
