About Omega-3s EPA and DHA

Essential fatty acids (EFAs) used by the body for multiple health concerns

Omega-3 fatty acids – eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA) – are extracted from a variety of cold-water fatty fish. They are essential fatty acids (EFAs) used by the body for multiple health concerns. EFAs are fatty acids essential for our bodies to function but are not efficiently made in the body so must be obtained from food or supplements. Although EPA and DHA can be made in small amounts in the body from the EFA alpha-linolenic acid (from plant oils like flaxseed), this conversion happens only inefficiently.

The Thorne Difference

Thorne’s EPA and DHA are extracted from a variety of fatty fish sustainably harvested from the cold ocean waters off the coasts of Peru and Chile. The specific fish, by product, are the following:

  • • Anchovy – Omega-3 w/CoQ10

  • • Anchovy, sardine, mackerel – Super EPA, Omega Superb and Super EPA Pro

  • • Anchovy, sardine, squid, herring, mackerel - Advanced DHA, Prenatal DHA and Pro-Resolving Mediators

  • • Algae – DHA in VeganPro Complex

The fish oils in Thorne’s omega-3 nutritional supplements are extracted via non-solvent methods that provide the purest oil possible. These methods provide clean, concentrated products, while removing heavy metals, pesticides, and PCBs. Molecular distillation is used for all products except Super EPA Pro, which uses a green technology called super-critical CO2 extraction.
Molecular forms of Thorne’s fish oil products:

  • • Ethyl ester (which provides for a more concentrated EPA/DHA content with fewer and smaller capsules: Super EPA, Super EPA Pro, Omega-3 w/ CoQ10

  • • Triglyceride (good for liquids where capsule size and number are not an issue) – Omega Superb, Advanced DHA and Prenatal DHA
