What Makes Orthomega 820 Different?

950 mg of Total Omega-3s Per Soft Gel

Many standard fish oil products list a large amount of “fish oil” while providing relatively modest amounts of EPA and DHA. Orthomega 820 identifies the active omega-3 content clearly and supplies 820 mg of combined EPA and DHA in one soft gel.

Includes DPA

In addition to EPA and DHA, each soft gel provides 50 mg of docosapentaenoic acid, or DPA. DPA is another long-chain marine omega-3 fatty acid that is present in tissues throughout the body.

Re-Esterified Triglyceride Form

Orthomega 820 supplies its omega-3s as re-esterified triglycerides rather than ethyl esters. Triglyceride-form fish oils are structured more similarly to the fats naturally found in food and are selected for their digestibility and absorption characteristics.

Purified and Independently Tested

According to Ortho Molecular Products, the fish oil is sourced from fish harvested in waters off the Chilean coast. It is purified, vacuum-distilled and independently tested for heavy metals, pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs.

Natural tocopherols, rosemary leaf extract and ascorbyl palmitate are included to help protect the oil’s freshness.

Potential Health-Supporting Benefits

The EPA, DHA and DPA in Orthomega 820 are formulated to provide nutritional support for:

• Cardiovascular health and healthy blood sugar metabolism†
• Brain function, cognitive health and development†
• Healthy joints, skin and connective tissues†
• Visual and ocular health†
• A normal, balanced inflammatory response†

Orthomega 820 is a dietary supplement. It should not be used as a substitute for prescription omega-3 medication or medical treatment.

Why We Carry Orthomega 820

Orthomega 820 is a practical choice for customers who want substantial EPA and DHA in one daily soft gel instead of taking several lower-potency fish oil capsules. We also appreciate that the formula identifies its DPA content and uses re-esterified triglyceride fish oil.

The 180-count bottle is especially suitable for customers who already know this formula works well for them or who intend to use omega-3 supplementation consistently.
