TruNature Triple Strength Omega-3 900 mg (from Fish Oil 1407 mg), 150 Enteric Coated Softgels

This enteric coated Omega-3 softgel (EPA 647 mg, DHA 253 mg) provides three times as much heart-healthy Omega-3 per softgel than the regular 180:120 ratio fish oils. The general North American diet is deficient in Omega-3 essential fatty acids and ocean fish oils provide ready-made EPA and DHA in optimal amounts, to help maintain and support heart and vascular health.

Enteric coating supports proper absorption of the fish oils by placing a protective barrier over the softgel that does not dissolve in the stomach, allowing the nutrients a safe-passage through the acidic stomach environment. The enteric coating then breaks down and releases the Omega-3 fatty acids into the intestines. This is optimal as the intestines are the main "nutrient-absorption zone" for the body, transporting the fatty acids from the digestive tract into the blood vessels for their various roles around the body. The enteric coating also helps to eliminate the unpleasant fishy after taste associated with fish oil supplementation.
