The omega-3 Ultra Caps by German Elite Nutrition are fish oil capsules containing EPA and DHA in their natural triglyceride form. Each daily serving of four softgels provides 4000 mg of fish oil, of which 3200 mg are omega-3 fatty acids. This product is intended for those who want to supplement their daily diet with EPA and DHA from a single source without having to swallow countless capsules.
Each daily dose provides 2000 mg of EPA and 1000 mg of DHA, or a ratio of 2:1. These are the two long-chain omega-3 fatty acids that fish oil is known for. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart. The beneficial effect occurs with a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA, a threshold that these capsules more than meet. In addition, DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision. A daily intake of 250 mg of DHA is required for these two effects, and even there, you are well above with 1000 mg of DHA per day. The names eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) sound complicated, but they are simply the two fatty acids that you mainly get from fatty fish. The ratio of 2:1 between EPA and DHA corresponds to what you see in many fish oil concentrates.
Omega-3 fatty acids occur in different forms, such as triglycerides and ethyl esters. These capsules use the triglyceride form, the same chemical structure in which omega-3 also naturally occurs in fish.
Each daily dose, these capsules provide 3200 mg of omega-3. The thresholds for the heart, brain, and vision claims are 250 mg per day, but there are also effects that only apply at higher doses. DHA and EPA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood pressure and DHA and EPA contribute to the maintenance of normal triglyceride levels in the blood. An intake of 3 grams of EPA and DHA per day is required for the blood pressure effect, exactly what four softgels provide. Do not take more than 5 grams of EPA and DHA per day from supplements. This way you keep control over your total intake, even if you also eat fatty fish.
The capsules contain pure fish oil, without magnesium stearate, artificial flavors, or colorings. What you get is a concentrated fish oil product in softgel form, easy to swallow. Because omega-3 fatty acids are sensitive to oxidation, there is an antioxidant in the form of mixed tocopherols (a natural form of vitamin E) that helps protect the oil in the capsule against spoilage. The fish oil is a concentrate, which means that the proportion of EPA and DHA is higher than in standard fish oil. One jar contains 300 softgels, enough for 75 days at the recommended daily dose. In short: an omega-3 with 2000 mg EPA and 1000 mg DHA per day in the triglyceride form.
Four softgels together provide 2000 mg EPA and 1000 mg DHA in a 2:1 ratio, from 4000 mg fish oil.
The EPA and DHA are in triglyceride form, the same form as in fish.
With 3200 mg of omega-3 fatty acids per serving, this is a highly concentrated fish oil product.
Pure fish oil in softgel form, without magnesium stearate, flavourings or colourings. 300 softgels per jar.

In the triglyceride form, fatty acids are bound as they occur naturally in fish. In the ethyl ester form, they are linked to an alcohol group, a cheaper processing method. Your body absorbs the triglyceride form via a familiar pathway. These capsules use that natural form.
Four softgels provide 2000 mg of EPA and 1000 mg of DHA, totaling 3200 mg of omega-3 fatty acids from 4000 mg of fish oil. This is a high dosage compared to many standard fish oil products.
No. This product is made from fish oil and the softgel capsule contains gelatin. If you are looking for a plant-based alternative, you would need to choose omega-3 from algae oil, which is a different product.
The high daily dose of 3200 mg omega-3 is divided among four softgels, so that each softgel remains a manageable size. You can take them spread throughout the day with meals.
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are the two long-chain omega-3 fatty acids found in oily fish. Together, they make up the largest part of the omega-3s in fish oil. This product contains a concentrate with a high content of both.
Fish oil is the oil itself; omega-3 is the group of fatty acids it contains, including EPA and DHA. Per daily dose, this fish oil contains 4000 mg of oil, of which 3200 mg are omega-3 fatty acids. Not all fish oil has such a high omega-3 content.
