About the Product
Life Pro Omega PRO is a high-concentration Omega-3 fish oil supplement in softgels, in the Triglyceride (TG) form—the most bioavailable oral form of Omega-3 fatty acids—certified by IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards), the world's most demanding independent certification program for fish oil supplements. Each softgel contains 1000mg of TG fish oil, with 360mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and 240mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid)—one of the highest EPA+DHA concentrations per softgel available in the European supplement market. Enriched with natural Vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol) as a protective antioxidant for the fatty acids. 1 softgel up to 3x/day with meals. 90 softgels. Not vegan (fish oil + gelatin).
Ingredients: TG Fish Oil (36% EPA, 24% DHA) + D-alpha-tocopherol (Vitamin E). Capsule: Gelatin + Humectant (Glycerin) + Water.
Benefits
Triglyceride (TG) form: the Omega-3 form with the highest oral bioavailability:
Omega-3 from fish oil exists in two main forms in supplements: Ethyl Ester (EE) and Triglyceride (TG). The TG form is the natural form in which fatty acids exist in fish—the fatty acids are esterified to glycerol at the sn-1, sn-2, and sn-3 positions of the triglyceride, exactly as in food. The EE (ethyl ester) form is a synthetic form produced by transesterification of fish oil with ethanol—cheaper to produce and used in most Omega-3 supplements on the market—but with lower oral bioavailability than the TG form. The study by Dyerberg et al. (2010), published in Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes and Essential Fatty Acids, documented that the intestinal absorption of EPA and DHA in TG form is about 70% higher than that of EE form under normal absorption conditions. Life Pro explicitly uses the TG form as a quality differentiator for Omega PRO.
EPA 360mg + DHA 240mg per softgel: the dose for clinical efficacy in a single dose:
With 360mg of EPA and 240mg of DHA per softgel (total of 600mg of EPA+DHA per capsule), Omega PRO is one of the most concentrated Omega-3 formulations available in the European supplement market. For context: Life Pro's standard Omega-3 has only 180mg EPA + 120mg DHA per capsule—2x less concentrated. The total of 600mg of EPA+DHA per capsule means that just 1 capsule/day covers the EFSA's minimum dose for cardiovascular effects (250mg/day of EPA+DHA), and 2 capsules/day cover the 1200mg/day dose recommended by most clinical studies on cardiovascular performance and anti-inflammatory effects. For maximum therapeutic dose (3 capsules/day = 1800mg EPA+DHA), Omega PRO covers the dose used in studies on reducing serum triglycerides documented by the meta-analysis of Skulas-Ray et al.
IFOS Certification: the gold standard for purity and quality in fish oils:
IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards) is the most rigorous and internationally recognized third-party certification program for fish oil supplements, developed by the Canadian company Nutrasource Diagnostics Inc. IFOS certification evaluates each production batch across 5 dimensions: EPA+DHA concentration (confirms that the declared values on the label are real), purity (absence of contaminants such as PCBs, dioxins, furans, and methylmercury—the main ocean pollutants that accumulate in fatty fish), oxidation (freshness of the oil—measurement of peroxide index, p-anisidine, and TOTOX value, which indicate the degree of oxidation of unsaturated fats), freshness (oxidative stability test), and absence of heavy metals (lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury). Only batches that pass all these criteria receive the IFOS seal—and the results are publicly published on the IFOS website for consumer consultation. For users concerned about the purity and safety of the Omega-3 they consume (especially children, pregnant women, and populations with higher exposure to contaminants), IFOS certification is the strongest guarantee available on the market.
EPA: the broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory of the Omega-3 family:
EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid, C20:5 n-3) is the long-chain Omega-3 with the most documented anti-inflammatory activity. Incorporated into the phospholipid membranes of immune cells (especially leukocytes), EPA competes with arachidonic acid (AA, Omega-6) for access to COX (cyclooxygenase) and LOX (lipoxygenase) enzymes—and while AA produces pro-inflammatory eicosanoids (PGE2, TXA2, LTB4), EPA produces eicosanoids with lower pro-inflammatory activity (PGE3, TXA3, LTB5) and precursors to E-series resolvins and protectins—lipid mediators of active inflammation resolution. For athletes, EPA has a documented effect on reducing DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) and accelerating muscle recovery after intense eccentric exercise. The meta-analysis by Lewis et al. (2020) documented that EPA supplementation significantly reduced circulating markers of inflammation (CRP, IL-6) compared to placebo.
DHA: the structural fatty acid of the nervous system and retina:
DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid, C22:6 n-3) is the longest-chain Omega-3, and the most abundant structural fatty acid in neuronal membranes (~25 to 35% of neuronal membrane fatty acids) and retinal photoreceptors. DHA is incorporated into neuronal cell membranes and confers specific fluidity and deformability to the membranes—properties essential for the speed of nerve impulse transmission and the efficiency of synapses. The EFSA has approved the claims: "DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function" and "DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision" (with 250mg/day of DHA). For athletes, DHA supports cognition, reaction time, and visual function—relevant for precision and high-speed sports.
Vitamin E (natural D-alpha-tocopherol): the protective antioxidant for unsaturated fatty acids:
As described in multiple products in this section, natural Vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol) is the fat-soluble antioxidant of cell membranes and adipose tissue. In the context of Omega PRO, Vitamin E has a specific function: EPA and DHA are highly unsaturated fatty acids (with 5 and 6 double bonds, respectively) and are therefore highly susceptible to lipid peroxidation by free radicals. Vitamin E integrated into the capsules protects the fish oil from oxidation during storage (maintaining the freshness and biological activity of Omega-3) and, after intestinal absorption, protects EPA and DHA-rich cell membranes from oxidative damage.
Usage
Recommended dose: Take 1 softgel up to 3 times a day, preferably with main meals. For maintenance cardiovascular benefits: 1 softgel/day (600mg EPA+DHA). For more pronounced anti-inflammatory and brain health benefits: 2 softgels/day (1200mg EPA+DHA). For triglyceride reduction (therapeutic dose): 3 softgels/day (1800mg EPA+DHA) under professional guidance. Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight. In very hot weather, refrigerate after opening to preserve oil freshness. 90 softgels = 30 to 90 days of use depending on the dose.
