What Omega-Pro High DHA is licensed for

It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80115916. The licence also lists:

• Helps support cognitive health and brain function.
• Helps support the development of the brain, eyes and nerves in children up to 12 years of age.
• Source of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) for the maintenance of good health.

What is in each teaspoon

Each 5 mL teaspoon gives you 4382 mg of fish oil from anchovies, sardines and mackerels. That oil carries 3200 mg of omega-3 fatty acids, of which 2100 mg is DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and 520 mg is EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). The front of the bottle sums it up as wild deep sea fish oil, and CanPrev states the omega-3s are in their native triglyceride form.

DHA and EPA are the two long-chain omega-3s found in oily fish. Most fish oils carry more EPA than DHA. This one flips the ratio, with about four parts DHA to one part EPA.

The non-medicinal ingredients are ascorbyl palmitate, goji fruit flavour, green tea extract, lemonade flavour, mixed tocopherol concentrate (soy), monk fruit extract, rosemary leaf extract and sunflower oil. Monk fruit is the sweetener. CanPrev lists it as free of gluten, dairy, yeast and wheat, with no artificial sugars, colours or flavours. The oil is IFOS certified for quality and purity testing.

How it compares

CanPrev Omega-Pro (90 Softgels) is the capsule option in the same family, for people who would rather swallow than pour. The Omega Twist liquids are CanPrev's fruit-flavoured emulsions. CanPrev Omega-Pro High DHA 1:5 comes in a larger 200 mL bottle. This 150 mL goji lemon bottle is the one to choose when you want a high-DHA oil that the whole family can take by the spoon.

How to take it

Adults 19 and over take 1 teaspoon (5 mL) a day. Children and teens from 1 to 18 years take 1/2 teaspoon a day. Take it straight from the spoon or stir it into juice or a smoothie. It contains soy and fish. Keep out of reach of children.

Keep the bottle in the fridge once it is open, and use it within 30 days for the freshest taste. Do not use it if the safety seal is broken. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.

Who it suits

Families who want one omega-3 for adults and kids, and anyone who prefers a liquid to softgels. At the adult dose a bottle lasts a month. At the half-teaspoon dose for children it lasts 60 days.
