Natural Factors LipoMicel® Omega-3 (120 Softgels)

The 120-softgel bottle of Natural Factors LipoMicel Omega-3 gives you four months of fish oil at one softgel a day. Source of omega-3 fatty acids for the maintenance of good health. Every softgel delivers 333 mg of combined EPA and DHA.

What LipoMicel Omega-3 is licensed for

It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80124212. The licence also lists:

• Source of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) for the maintenance of good health.
• Helps support normal cardiovascular function.
• Helps maintain cognitive health and brain function.

Inside the softgel

The fish oil, 585 mg per softgel, comes from anchovies, sardines, herring, mackerel and jacks: small, short-lived species. It breaks down to 200 mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and 133 mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), the two long-chain omega-3 fatty acids found mainly in seafood.

The softgel fill also lists medium chain triglycerides, MSM, purified water, glycerin, xylitol, alkalized cocoa powder and tocopherols. The shell is gelatin, so this is not a vegetarian product.

Which Natural Factors omega-3 to pick

LipoMicel is a Natural Factors softgel line that also includes Quercetin LipoMicel Matrix and Chrysin LipoMicel plus Flavonoid. Among the brand's omega-3s, RxOmega-3 Extra Strength packs a larger EPA and DHA dose per softgel, and SeaRich Omega-3 is a lemon meringue liquid taken by the teaspoon. This one is the small, single-softgel daily option.

How to take it

Adults take 1 softgel a day, the same dose as the smaller bottle. Store the bottle somewhere children cannot reach it. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.

Who it suits

Adults who have settled on LipoMicel Omega-3 and want to reorder less often. At 120 softgels, this size lasts twice as long as the 60-count bottle, with the identical softgel inside. Over those four months the bottle supplies 24,000 mg of EPA and close to 16,000 mg of DHA in total. If two adults in one household take it, a single bottle covers both of them for two months, and the softgels are small enough that one a day is easy to keep up.
