Don't you eat oily fish twice a week? Then a fish oil supplement can be a good addition to your healthy lifestyle! Fish oil has a beneficial effect on the heart and blood pressure. It ensures normal fat levels in your blood. But that's not all. It is good for vision and the brain. Did you know that it is also good for pregnant and breastfeeding women? It contributes to the brain and eyes of the fetus. All in all, a supplement that is often forgotten, but is of enormous importance for several processes in your body. This supplement, Fish Oil Gold 50% EPA & 25% DHA, is the highest dosed fish oil in our range. The percentages, 50% EPA and 25% DHA, refer to the concentration of these specific omega-3 fatty acids in the oil. The percentages indicate the amount of each fatty acid per daily dose. For example, 3 capsules – the daily dose – contain 1365 mg EPA and 690 mg DHA.
* EPA and DHA, in triglyceride form, are good for the heart and blood pressure. It also ensures normal fat levels in the blood.
* DHA is important for your vision and your brain. But also important for the brain and eyes of the fetus.
* In tryglyceride form, the most absorbable non-synthetic form for your body.
* Oil derived from anchovies, a non-endangered fish species, from the North Pacific Ocean.
What does EPA and DHA mean?
EPA stands for eicosapentaenoic acid and DHA stands for docosahexaenoic acid. Both ingredients are polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids are mainly found in oily fish, such as salmon, mackerel, sardines and herring. They can also be found in algae oil, which is a plant-based source of omega-3 and an alternative for those who don't eat fish.
What is fish oil good for?
There are many studies that show that EPA and DHA have a beneficial effect on the heart. These fatty acids are also beneficial for blood pressure, because they maintain normal blood pressure. It is good for maintaining normal triglyceride (fat) levels in the blood. In addition, DHA is good for vision and the brain. These beneficial effects are obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg EPA and DHA.
When should I take fish oil?
If oily fish is on the menu twice a week, then taking a fish oil supplement is not actually necessary. However, practice shows that many of us do not achieve this, either due to diet, allergies or personal preferences.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women may benefit from a fish oil supplement. DHA is important for the development of the brain and eyes of the fetus.
What are triglycerides and ethyl esters?
Herring, mackerel or piece of salmon contain polyunsaturated fatty acids (EPA and DHA) in the form of triglyceride. Triglycerides consist of three fatty acids. These fatty acids are attached to a glycerol molecule. Triglyceride is the most natural form and is immediately absorbed by the body.
If one fatty acid is attached to one ethanol molecule, these are ethyl esters. This is a synthetic form and is less well absorbed by the body.
The Fish Oil Gold 50% EPA & 25% DHA contains triglycerides, which guarantees good absorption of this supplement.
Sustainable fishing
The Fish Oil Gold 50% EPA & 25% DHA capsules contain pure, high-quality fish oil from anchovies from the North Pacific Ocean that are caught sustainably and under controlled conditions. Anchovies are a non-endangered fish species, unlike mackerel, cod and brown trout, which are often taken as the basis for a fish oil supplement.
Low totox value
The totox value, also known as oxidation value, indicates the freshness of the oil. The lower this number, the fresher the oil. This low value guarantees the quality of the product and reduces the risk of burping. Many brands indicate the degree of oxidation only by the peroxide value, which is often low. The totox value contains two indicators to measure freshness. These two values are added and must remain below the European guideline of 26. If you read somewhere that a fish oil has a totox value of 'below 5', then it is often only the peroxide value and not the total totox value. A totox value is determined per batch, so this value can differ per jar. The higher the percentage of EPA and DHA, the higher the totox value will be. Fish Oil Gold 50% EPA & 25% DHA is always below the safe value of 26.
With biologically active vitamin E
Vitamin E is an antioxidant. Now you may be thinking: what does that have to do with fish oil? Vitamin E helps prevent the oxidation of unsaturated fats, such as EPA and DHA. When these fats oxidize, they can become rancid, which reduces the quality of the fish oil. But you don't have to worry about that now. Vitamin E helps protect the oil against this oxidation. In addition to the protective role in Fish Oil Gold 50% EPA & 25% DHA, vitamin E itself also has several benefits for your body, such as protecting cells against damage by free radicals.
As a starting dose, take 1 capsule with water 3 times a day. This capsule may also be taken in one go. If desired, you can later switch to a maintenance dose of 1 capsule per day.
Children aged 3 to 12 years squeeze 1 capsule per day into fruit juice and drink immediately.
Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil are fat-soluble, meaning they are best absorbed when taken with food. Additionally, taking the capsule with food can help minimize potential belching or a fishy aftertaste.

The fish species, anchovies, comes from the North Pacific Ocean and is caught sustainably under controlled conditions.
