Omega 3 fish oil provides the fatty acids EPA and DHA, which you get from food. Vit4ever uses fish oil from anchovies caught off the coast of Peru and processes it into the natural triglyceride form. Each softgel contains 1000 mg of fish oil with 800 mg of omega 3, of which 400 mg is EPA and 300 mg is DHA. The product is available in 120 and 365 softgels, so you can choose between a smaller bottle or a year's supply. This means you do not have to swallow multiple smaller capsules per day to get your daily dose.
Fish oil comes in two main forms: triglyceride form (TG) and ethyl ester form (EE). The TG form is the form in which fatty acids naturally occur in fish, before anything is changed to the molecular structure. The EE form is created by an additional processing step, in which the fatty acids are linked to ethanol. Vit4ever chooses the triglyceride form, as fatty acids naturally occur in fish, even though this is a more expensive and more processed production step. The production process to return the oil to the TG form after concentration takes more time and money than simply leaving the oil in the EE form, which explains why TG fish oil is often slightly more expensive than EE variants.
One softgel provides 700 mg of EPA and DHA together. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart; the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA. DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and to the maintenance of normal vision; the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA. With 300 mg of DHA per softgel, this requirement is met. EPA and DHA are both omega 3 fatty acids; most omega 3 products, including this one, contain a combination of both. Those who prefer to avoid the taste of omega 3 fish oil altogether can best take the softgel with a meal: this significantly reduces the chance of a slight fish aftertaste.
The oil comes from anchovies, a small fish that is low in the food chain. Each batch is independently tested for purity and for the totox value, a measure that indicates how fresh or oxidized an oil is. A low totox value means that the oil has broken down less, which benefits the smell and taste of the softgel. Not sure which variant suits you? The 120 softgels are convenient to try out, while the 365 softgels last a full year with daily use of 1 softgel. Both options contain exactly the same composition per softgel, the only real difference is in the total number of softgels in the bottle. Natural vitamin E, extracted from soy, has been added to the oil. Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress, and also protects the oil itself in this product against becoming rancid, which can happen with unsaturated fatty acids as soon as they are exposed to air and light.
Please note: the softgel itself is made of beef gelatin, making this product unsuitable for vegans or vegetarians. Those who prefer a plant-based alternative can find an omega 3 from algae oil with comparable amounts of DHA and EPA at Vit4ever. For those who have no objection to animal gelatin, fish oil remains a direct source of EPA and DHA, packaged in a single softgel per day instead of multiple capsules. The packaging also plays a role here: a well-sealed bottle in a dark place protects the oil better than a bottle that is often left open in a damp room.
One softgel already provides a total of 700 mg of EPA and DHA, well above the 250 mg required for heart and brain health claims.
The TG form is the form in which fish oil naturally occurs.
Anchovies accumulate fewer heavy metals than large predatory fish, and each batch is individually tested for purity.
One softgel per day provides 700 mg of EPA and DHA.

Triglyceride form is the natural form of fish oil, as it occurs in fish itself. Ethyl ester form is created through an additional processing step and is often used to concentrate oil more easily.
Each softgel provides 800 mg of omega-3, of which 400 mg is EPA and 300 mg is DHA. This is well above the 250 mg required for most EFSA claims regarding heart, brain, and eye health.
No. The softgel is made from bovine gelatin, which means the product is not vegan or vegetarian. For a plant-based alternative with similar dosages, you can consider omega 3 from algal oil.
Always consult your doctor first. High doses of omega-3 can affect blood clotting, which is relevant if you are already taking blood-thinning medication.
The totox value measures how much an oil has already oxidized, in other words, how fresh it still is. A low totox value means less degradation, which translates into a more neutral smell and taste of the softgel.
This product is available in 120 softgels and 365 softgels, both with the same daily dosage of 1 softgel.
