Added vitamin E for stability.
Our highest strength capsules in our Eskimo®-3 range, EPA and DHA rich Eskimo®-3 Extra capsules are ideal for those looking for extra support for heart health, improved vision and healthy brain function.
Derived from pure and sustainable sources, these easy-to swallow capsules are enriched with antioxidants including vitamin E and rosemary extract to ensure a high level of stability with no fishy aftertaste.
Our Eskimo®-3 Extra supplements are the highest strength in the Eskimo®-3 range with each capsule providing 300mg EPA and 200mg DHA. This makes it the perfect choice for those requiring increased support or those who do not eat oily fish regularly.
No longer deemed the bad guys, we now know that dietary fats are absolutely crucial for health, however the typical western diet means that many of us are lacking in this essential nutrient. Omega-3s are the fats you find in large quantities in oily fish such as tuna, mackerel and salmon, and they are known to be helpful for virtually all aspects of health including heart, brain, mood, joints, vision and inflammation.
The recommended dosage is only 1-2 capsules per day. The capsule format makes these suitable in particular for those who don't like taking fish oils or large amounts of capsules. Just 2 capsules a day provides EPA and DHA roughly equivalent to 4 portions of oily fish per week.
A high-quality fish oil will have a fresh taste, rather than a strong, fishy taste which can be a sign that it has started to oxidise. Our Eskimo®-3 range is enriched with a patented antioxidant mixture called Pufanox® which increases the oil’s stability and keeps it fresher for longer – meaning no fishy aftertaste or fishy burps.
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are long-chain omega-3 fatty acids which are plentiful in oily fish and shellfish. EPA and DHA have different roles and actions in the body. Not only do our bodies need these fatty acids to function, but they also deliver certain health benefits. For example, DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision and brain function while DHA and EPA together contribute to heart health.
Not only is the strength of omega-3 fatty acids important, but also the ratio in which they are provided. We choose to provide EPA and DHA in a 3:2 ratio, the same ratio found naturally in oily fish, for optimal efficacy in supporting a healthy inflammatory response.
Our Eskimo®-3 range is enriched with a unique, patented antioxidant mixture called Pufanox® which increases the oil’s stability and keeps it fresher, safer and more effective for longer.
Taking just 2 Eskimo ®-3 Extra capsules daily provides EPA and DHA roughly equivalent to 4 portions of oily fish per week – that’s the same as 5 tins of sardines!
The fish oil featured in our Eskimo®-3 range, which includes oils, capsules, and jelly splats is conscientiously sourced from the rich waters of the Eastern Central Atlantic, the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and the Southeast Pacific. The fish selected includes anchovy, mackerel, and sardines — known for their high-quality oil.
In our commitment to sustainability and ethical practices, we are proud to say that the fish oil in Eskimo®-3 is certified by Friend of the Sea. This certification ensures that the fish are caught with respect for the environment and in a manner that supports the sustainability of the species. Friend of the Sea’s rigorous independent testing confirms that our products adhere to both environmental and social standards.
It only takes 3-4 hours for EPA and DHA to reach the bloodstream, but it may take 3 - 4 weeks or even longer for omega-3 levels to build up in areas of importance such as the brain and heart, so it’s important to make taking an omega-3 supplement part of your daily routine in order to experience all the benefits omega-3s offer. Eskimo Extra offers easy and convenient dosing at just 1-2 capsules per day.
