What are the other omega-3s listed on the Nordic Naturals supplement labels?
The ‘other omega-3s’ listed on Nordic Naturals labels refer to omega-3 fatty acids (different from EPA and DHA) that naturally exist in fish oil in low levels. The ‘other omega-3s’ include fatty acids such as DPA (docospentaenoic acid) and ETA (eicosatetranoic acid). These fats are involved in essential fatty acid metabolic pathways in the body. EPA and DHA are the best studied omega-3 fats and are considered the most functional omega-3s. You find this information is on the label because Nordic Naturals tests each batch, knows exactly what is in the oil and chooses to disclose complete information to our customers.
