Life Extension Super Omega-3 EPA/DHA
by Life Extension
"IFOS 5-star rated fish oil with sesame lignans and olive extract for enhanced cardiovascular protection"
Overview
Life Extension Super Omega-3 goes beyond standard fish oil by combining EPA/DHA with sesame lignans and olive fruit extract (polyphenols). This combination is based on research showing that sesame lignans direct omega-3 metabolism toward anti-inflammatory pathways, while olive polyphenols provide additional cardiovascular protection similar to the Mediterranean diet effect. Each serving provides 480mg EPA and 360mg DHA from wild-caught fish. The product carries IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards) 5-star rating for purity and potency. Life Extension is a research-focused brand that has been at the forefront of longevity science since 1980.
