Metagenics EPA-DHA Extra Strength — Omega-3 (EPA + DHA), 60 Capsules
EPA-DHA Extra Strength from Metagenics is a concentrated source of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (EPA and DHA), necessary for supporting cardiovascular, nervous, and visual functions.
Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential nutrients because they are not synthesized in sufficient quantities by the human body and must be regularly consumed through food or supplements.
Mechanism of Action
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are components of cell membranes, influencing their structure, fluidity, and functional activity.
They are involved in:
• regulation of lipid metabolism;
• maintenance of vascular endothelial function;
• neuronal function and signal transmission in the nervous system.
DHA plays a key role in brain and retina function, while EPA is actively involved in regulating inflammation and lipid metabolism.
Key Properties
• Cardiovascular support.
• Regulation of triglyceride levels.
• Supports cognitive function.
• Vision support.
• Participates in anti-inflammatory processes.
• Supports cell membrane structure (including skin and joints).
Active Ingredient Concentration
Per 1 capsule:
• EPA - 429 mg
• DHA - 286 mg
• Total EPA + DHA - 715 mg
The high concentration of omega-3s ensures a physiologically significant supply of active fatty acids.
Source and Quality
Omega-3s are derived from the oil of small ocean fish (sardines, anchovies, mackerel), purified to remove heavy metals and potential contaminants. Additionally, the formula contains:
• a mixture of tocopherols (vitamin E) to protect lipids from oxidation;
• rosemary oil and lemon flavor to improve organoleptic properties and eliminate a fishy aftertaste.
Benefits
• High concentration of EPA and DHA.
• Purified raw materials of marine origin.
• Antioxidant protection (vitamin E).
• No pronounced fishy taste.
