What We Like

  • Very high DHA concentration per softgel
  • Molecularly distilled to reduce heavy metals
  • Contains natural antioxidants
  • Small softgels despite high concentration

What We’re Missing

  • No official IFOS certification
  • Contains gelatin from fish and bovine sources

Usage Recommendation

2 softgels daily with a fat-containing meal. For higher needs, up to 3 softgels can be spread throughout the day.
