As a dietary supplement,
take 1 softgel daily after food.
Super EPA 2000 uses triglycerides (TG) fish oil. Studies show that fish oil in TG form tends to have more benefits than ethyl esther (EE) form:
Higher stability:
TG fish oil tends to have higher stability due to its complex molecular structure and existence of unsaturated double bonds. This natural structure gives TG fish oil better protection as they are less likely to be affected by unstable molecules such as free radicals.
On the other hand, since EE fish oil undergoes chemical modification, it loses its stable form of natural structure during the process and exists as a simple linear structure. As such, EE fish oil is less stable and more likely to be affected by unstable molecules and hence have higher chances to get oxidised.
Higher bioavailability:
Studies suggest that TG fish oil is more easily and quickly absorbed by the human body when compared to EE fish oil.
A study suggested that the testers who ingested TG fish oil showed a blood DHA/EPA content 3 hours earlier than testers who ingested EE fish oil.
Another study further supported the findings by showing the bioavailability of EE fish oil in normal diet and high fats diet is 20% and 60% respectively while the bioavailability of TG fish oil in normal diet and high fats diet is 69% and 96% respectively.
Super EPA 2000 uses fishes that naturally contain higher concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids. The fish oil in Super EPA 2000 is extracted from fresh anchovy (Engraulis Ringens).
Super EPA 2000 contains 1000mg omega-3 fatty acids, made up of 500mg of EPA, 310mg of DHA and 190mg of other omega-3 fatty acids.
As a natural ingredient, there are other components that are naturally present in fish oil. This includes other fatty acids that improve the absorption of omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids, and vitamins, some of which act as natural antioxidants in fish oil.
Super EPA 2000 uses only high quality fish oil that undergoes a dual stage molecular distillation process. During this process, impurities and heavy metals are mostly removed, leaving behind the beneficial substances, particularly omega-3 fatty acids.
DHA is known to be essential for children's brain and eye development. We recommend children to take ProDHA instead as it contains higher DHA content.
Yes. we recommend pregnant women to take Super EPA 2000 especially during the third trimester to help with the infant's brain development.
Studies showed that infants whose mothers supplemented with DHA during their pregnancy enjoyed better brain health as soon as they were born. Studies also showed stronger visual and problem-solving skills of such infants as they progressed into their childhood.
As each pregnancy condition is unique, we recommend pregnant women to consult their doctor before consuming any health supplements.
Super EPA 2000 and ProDHA contain both EPA and DHA.
Super EPA 2000 contains higher EPA amount while Avance ProDHA contains higher DHA amount.
EPA mainly helps to support circulatory health and reduce triglycerides levels while DHA mainly helps to support brain functions and mental performance.
Super EPA 2000 is suitable for those targeting to improve circulatory health while ProDHA is suitable for those who wish to improve their concentration, brain and visual performance.
