This is not just another fish oil product – it is the fish oil product. OMEGA delivers exceptionally high levels of DHA and EPA—480 mg and 720 mg per serving, respectively—produced under a nitrogen barrier to ensure unmatched purity, stability, and freshness. Each bottle provides 60 servings of two softgels each, designed to support heart, brain, and overall metabolic health.

Consumers often scrutinize exotic supplements but overlook the basics, assuming fish oils are interchangeable. At Core, we disagree. The staples you take daily should receive the same precision, care, and formulation rigor as your most advanced supplements. That is the philosophy behind OMEGA.

OMEGA is fish oil done the Core way:

• Manufactured under a nitrogen barrier to prevent oxidation

• High in essential omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA)

• Delivered in the purified triglyceride form—not the cheaper, less absorbable ethyl ester form

• Free from rancid taste, odor, and degradation

The result is the cleanest and most effective fish oil possible.

Physiological Highlights

Nitrogen Barrier Production

Marine oils are prized for their omega-3 fatty acids—EPA and DHA—but these polyunsaturated fats are inherently unstable. Their double-bond structures are highly susceptible to oxidation, which:

• Produces hydroperoxides and secondary oxidation products

• Creates the familiar rancid “fish oil” smell

• Breaks down molecular integrity

• Reduces potency and potential health benefits

Oxidation is a widespread problem. Studies show:

• 50% of Canadian fish oil supplements exceeded limits for at least one oxidation measure

• 39% exceeded international safety recommendations for total oxidation (TOTOX)

• Approximately 29% of U.S. products exceeded recommended values

A nitrogen blanket dramatically reduces oxidation by minimizing exposure to oxygen, humidity, and temperature fluctuations during production. Research shows nitrogen barrier processing significantly reduces both primary oxidation (peroxide values) and total oxidation (TOTOX and anisidine values).

In short: Nitrogen barrier = longer shelf life, zero rancid smell, and superior integrity.

Triglyceride Form vs. Ethyl Ester Form

Fish oils can exist in two primary forms: triglycerides and ethyl esters.

Triglycerides (the natural form)

• Three fatty acids attached to a glycerol backbone

• Easily digested by bile salts and pancreatic lipase

• Efficiently converted into emulsion droplets and absorbed

• The body uses them as-is

Ethyl Esters (a synthetic form)

• Fatty acid bound to ethanol

• Not naturally occurring

• Lipase enzymes are ~50% less effective at breaking them down

• Must be converted back into triglycerides inside the body before use

This makes ethyl esters slower, less efficient, and less bioavailable.

Clinical research demonstrates:

• Triglyceride-form EPA levels were 340% higher, and DHA levels 271% higher than ethyl esters

• Triglyceride-form fish oils increased plasma EPA/DHA levels by 25% more over six months

• Ethyl esters are described in literature as “poorly absorbed”

• Triglyceride-form oils oxidize more slowly on the shelf

This is why OMEGA uses purified triglyceride oil, not ethyl esters.

EPA & DHA: What They Actually Do

EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) provide extensive physiological benefits, with the most well-documented being their ability to support healthy triglyceride levels. While triglycerides are essential for normal physiology, elevated levels correlate with metabolic dysfunction. Supplementing with EPA and DHA helps maintain balance.

Key Benefits

1. Triglyceride Management

Large-scale analyses show both EPA and DHA significantly reduce and stabilize triglyceride levels, making them valuable for metabolic and cardiovascular health.

2. Anti-inflammatory Properties

EPA and DHA can reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine production, supporting joint comfort, immune balance, and overall well-being.

3. Cognitive Support

High DHA levels in the brain correlate with memory, verbal fluency, and cognitive performance. One study found six months of DHA supplementation improved working memory in healthy young adults.

4. Metabolic Enhancement: AMPk Activation

EPA may activate AMPk, the body’s “master metabolic switch.” When AMPk is activated, fat breakdown increases to provide energy. This mechanism is particularly interesting to physique and performance athletes.

5. Mood and Neurological Support

Emerging research suggests EPA and DHA may influence neurotransmitter pathways and support healthy mood regulation.

The OMEGA Standard

OMEGA stands apart because it delivers fish oil the way it should be:

• Nitrogen barrier produced

• 480 mg DHA + 720 mg EPA per serving

• Purified triglyceride form for superior absorption

• Zero oxidation, zero aftertaste, zero compromise

• Full potency and purity from first softgel to last

OMEGA is not just a fish oil—it is the new standard for daily essentials.
