EPA Gold uses re-esterified triglyceride (rTG) fish oil. Fish oils are available in 3 different forms, rTG, TG and EE fish oil.
Natural fish oil is found in the triglyceride (TG) form. In order to obtain higher concentrations of EPA and DHA, natural fish oil is often converted to ethyl ester (EE) form during distillation and purification processes. However, fish oil of EE form offers a lower absorption rate.
To enhance bioavailability, EE fish oil can be converted back to TG fish oil through the re-esterification process, producing rTG fish oil. Hence, rTG fish oil combines both superior bioavailability and the highest concentrations of EPA and DHA, compared to other forms of fish oil, such as natural TG and EE forms.
EPA Gold uses fishes that naturally contain higher concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids. The fish oil in EPA Gold is extracted from 100% wild-caught fish comprising primarily of anchovies, sardines and mackerel.
As a natural ingredient, there are other components that are naturally present in fish oil. This includes other omega 3 fatty acids such as docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), stearidonic acid (SDA), arachidonic acid (ARA) and heneicosapentaenoic acid (HPA), as well as vitamins that act as antioxidants.
EPA Gold uses only high quality fish oil that undergoes a proprietary gentle molecular distillation process. During this process, impurities and heavy metals are mostly removed, leaving behind the beneficial substances, particularly omega-3 fatty acids.
DHA is known to be essential for children's brain and eye development. We recommend children to take DHA Gold instead as it contains higher DHA content.
Yes, pregnant women can take EPA Gold. However, we would recommend DHA Gold as a more suitable option for pregnant women due to its higher DHA content, which can help with the infant's brain development.
Studies showed that infants whose mothers supplemented with DHA during their pregnancy enjoyed better brain health as soon as they were born. Studies also showed stronger visual and problem-solving skills of such infants as they progressed into their childhood.
As each pregnancy condition is unique, we recommend pregnant women to consult their doctor before consuming any health supplements.
EPA Gold and DHA Gold both contain DHA and EPA. EPA Gold contains a higher EPA amount while DHA Gold contains a higher DHA amount.
EPA plays a key role in circulatory and heart health, making EPA Gold suitable for those looking to support these functions while DHA Gold is suitable for those looking to support brain and vision health.
