Frequently asked questions
- How is EPA Xtra different from a standard omega-3?
- It is weighted heavily toward EPA rather than DHA, where many fish oils balance the two. EPA is the omega-3 most researched for mood and cardiovascular support.
- What flavour and form is it?
- Lemon-flavoured softgels.
- What does triglyceride form mean?
- It's the molecular form of omega-3 naturally found in fish, used across the Nordic Naturals range for absorption, as opposed to the ethyl-ester form.
- Is it screened against banned substances?
- No. The certification is IGEN Non-GMO Tested, verifying non-GMO sourcing, not banned-substance testing.
- Who is an EPA-forward fish oil for?
- Those specifically seeking higher EPA — often for mood or cardiovascular reasons — rather than a balanced EPA/DHA blend.
