About the Product
Dirty Squads Omega-3 is a high-purity fish oil supplement in softgels, produced from cold-water fish and purified through molecular distillation, the most advanced refining process available for fish oils, which concentrates essential fatty acids and removes contaminants such as heavy metals, PCBs, and dioxins to levels below detection limits. Each 3-softgel dose provides 3000 mg of total fish oil, with 900 mg of combined EPA and DHA, the two biologically active forms of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids with the strongest scientific evidence base for supporting cardiovascular health, brain function, vision, and joint health. Formulated without gluten, soy, or added sugars.
Benefits
Molecular distillation for maximum purity and concentration: The molecular distillation process is the benchmark purification method in the pharmaceutical-grade fish oil industry. It operates at reduced temperatures and pressures, which preserves the integrity of omega-3 fatty acids while effectively removing environmental contaminants — heavy metals (mercury, lead, arsenic), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins, and other persistent organic pollutants that accumulate in the marine food chain. The result is a highly concentrated fish oil, with 30% omega-3 fatty acids per gram of oil, and with a significantly superior toxicological safety profile compared to non-distilled or conventionally distilled fish oils.
EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) for cardiovascular health and anti-inflammation: EPA is the omega-3 fatty acid with the most documented impact on cardiovascular health and the regulation of systemic inflammation. As recognized by EFSA, EPA and DHA demonstrably contribute to normal heart function with a daily intake of 250 mg. EPA inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids, reduces circulating triglycerides, improves vascular endothelial function, and contributes to blood pressure regulation. In a sports context, EPA is particularly relevant due to its ability to reduce inflammation induced by intense exercise, supporting muscle and joint recovery between training sessions.
DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) for brain function, vision, and neurological development: DHA is the main structural fatty acid of neuronal cell membranes and the retina, being essential for the integrity and membrane fluidity of nervous and visual tissue. As recognized by EFSA, DHA demonstrably contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision with a daily intake of 250 mg. In athletes, DHA supports cognitive function, reaction time, sleep quality, and resilience to mental stress associated with periods of intense training and competition.
Support for joint health and reduction of post-workout inflammation: Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA, have documented anti-inflammatory properties that are especially useful in contexts of high-intensity and high-volume training, where chronic low-grade inflammation in joints and connective tissues can compromise recovery and increase the risk of injury. Regular supplementation with EPA and DHA is associated with reduced morning joint stiffness, improved mobility, and decreased joint discomfort in active adults.
Essential for those who do not regularly consume fatty fish: The main dietary source of EPA and DHA are cold-water fatty fish — salmon, sardines, mackerel, herring, and tuna. Most international nutritional recommendations suggest consuming at least two weekly servings of fatty fish, which poses a challenge for many adults due to preferences, habits, cost, or availability. For those who do not achieve this intake, supplementation with high-quality fish oil is the most effective and safest way to ensure an adequate supply of EPA and DHA.
Usage
Recommended dose: Take 3 softgels daily with breakfast. Taking it with a meal containing fat improves the absorption of omega-3 fatty acids. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and humidity. After opening, store in the refrigerator to preserve the freshness of the oil. Keep out of reach of children.
