Life Extension Super Omega-3 EPA/DHA Fish Oil vs Moller's Omega-3 Liquid Lemon Flavour

Pros

• ✓IFOS 5-star certified and molecularly distilled — among the highest purity standards available for fish oil
• ✓Unique synergistic formula: sesame lignans and olive polyphenols (hydroxytyrosol) extend omega-3 anti-inflammatory activity beyond standard fish oil
• ✓Widely reported tangible benefits: improved cholesterol, reduced joint and systemic inflammation, better skin, hair, and nails
• ✓Minimal fishy aftertaste and good tolerability reported by the majority of reviewers

Cons

• ✗Softgels are noted as larger than average by multiple reviewers — may be difficult for those with swallowing issues
• ✗Omega form is not specified on labelling and is likely ethyl ester rather than triglyceride form, which has lower bioavailability
• ✗Contains sesame — a declared allergen increasingly relevant for sensitive individuals
• ✗Mild fish odour noted by a minority of reviewers, particularly after opening the capsule
