What other omega-3 fatty acids does Omegor Vitality contain?

Dear Sir,

Each capsule of Omegor Vitality 1000 contains 1000 mg of fish oil. More than 75% (therefore over 750 mg per capsule) of the fatty acids present are omega-3 fatty acids, including at least 420 mg of EPA and 210 mg of DHA. To verify the concentrations present in the Omegor Vitality fish oil supplement, I invite you to consult the certificates of the various batches available on the market at the following link by searching for the name of our company U.G.A. Nutraceuticals: http://www.ifosprogram.com/consumer-reports.aspx

The other omega-3 fatty acids include alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), stearidonic acid (STD), eicosatrienoic acid (ETE), eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA), and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA). The remaining portion consists of polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acids and monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acids. In Meaquor, which is designed as an alternative to Eskim 1000 and Esapent 1000, the omega-3 fatty acids are in the form of ethyl esters with 500 mg of EPA and 400 mg of DHA per capsule. The fish oil used for the production of Meaquor is pharmaceutical-grade, ultra-purified, and concentrated through multiple molecular distillation to ensure the absence of contaminants such as heavy metals while maintaining a high concentration of omega-3 EPA and DHA. Our company uses only fish oil with certified purity, and all product batches comply with and exceed the strict standards of the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) and GOED (Global Organization on EPA and DHA), of which we are members. Below is a table with typical heavy metal values in Meaquor batches compared to the limits set by the European Commission and the IFOS and CRN/GOED standards.
