RxOmega-3 Factors is a pharmaceutical grade fish oil concentrate providing one of the highest potencies of EPA and DHA available. Stringent quality control standards ensure this highly purified fish oil concentrate is free from toxic environmental contaminants and heavy metals like mercury.

Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. One serving (1 softgel) of RxOmega-3 Factors provides 400 mg of EPA and 200 mg of DHA Omega-3 fatty acids.

All Natural Factors products are manufactured in accordance with the Government of Canada's Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), among the highest standards in the world

ImportantNote: The two active ingredients of omega-3 fish oil are EPA(eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). So it is important tobuy a supplement having more DHA and EPA in each softgel. Some companies, justfor marketing their product mention total fish oil content, which is not theright parameter of Omega 3. Consumer must compare the DHA & EPA content ineach softgel before buying any omega 3 supplement.

Despitethe fact ALA can be converted into EPA and DHA, this pathway is extremelyineffective. In fact, only 5% of ALA is changed into EPA and only 0.5% ofalpha-linolenic acid can be converted to DHA. This is unfortunate forvegetarians and vegans that have thought they needed to use flax oil as theirsource of omega-3 fats. The reason this process inefficient is the polypeptidedoing the conversion, delta-6-desaturase, is a rate limiting step.Delta-6-desaturase also competitively binds to omega-6 fatty acids, therebymaking it less available to bind to and alter alpha-linolenic acid.
