The omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA from fish oil have become indispensable in our daily basic supplementation. The vast majority of fish oil products offer EPA and DHA in the form of softgels. However, in certain situations, a liquid form can be convenient, such as when high dosages of EPA and DHA are desired, or when someone finds it difficult to swallow capsules. EPA + DHA Liquid, from fish oil specialist Minami, consists of liquid fish oil with a very high dosage of EPA and DHA. The product is easy to dose using a teaspoon. A pleasant taste has been ensured by adding a natural lemon aroma. Moreover, the omega-3 fatty acids in this product are exclusively in the triglyceride form, ensuring optimal absorption of the fatty acids.

Health Benefits
EPA and DHA have various health benefits. For instance, EPA and DHA together are good for the heart. Additionally, DHA contributes to brain function. After all, DHA is the most prevalent omega-3 fatty acid in the brain. Finally, DHA supports eye health and is therefore also important for vision. For adequate intake of EPA and DHA, we largely depend on diet. The body can produce small amounts of these unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids from alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), but this conversion is often inefficient. Hence, we need to consume fatty acids daily that are already in the form of EPA and DHA. Since these omega-3 fatty acids are mainly found in fish and not everyone consumes fish often enough, it is not a luxury to take EPA and DHA in the form of a supplement, in addition to omega-3 intake from food.

Triglyceride Form for Even Better Absorption
EPA + DHA Liquid contains omega-3 fatty acids in the form of so-called re-esterified triglycerides (also referred to as rTG). In a study comparing the long-term absorption of EPA and DHA in the form of triglycerides with ethyl esters (another common form of EPA and DHA in fish oil preparations), the triglyceride form was found to be even better absorbed.

Vitamin D3
EPA + DHA Liquid also contains vitamin D3. Not too much so that the product can still be used alongside a multivitamin. Vitamin D is also known as the sunshine vitamin. It is produced in the skin under the influence of sunlight. Unfortunately, vitamin D is only present in limited amounts in food, and moreover, the sun often does not shine sufficiently in the Netherlands. Therefore, a vitamin D supplement (in the superior form of D3) is certainly recommended for many adults and children. Vitamin D supports the immune system and is good for the muscles. It also contributes to the maintenance of strong bones and teeth.

Minami
Minami is an international fish oil brand distributed in the Netherlands by Vitals. Minami and Vitals have come together through a shared ambition to offer dietary supplements of the highest purity and quality. The foundation of every Minami product consists of high-quality omega-3 fatty acids (from fish oil or algae). Minami uses a patented environmentally friendly production method (supercritical CO2 extraction). This achieves very high dosages of omega-3 and unparalleled purity. Supercritical CO2 extraction takes place at lower temperatures. This is crucial for preserving the beneficial properties of the delicate unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids. Additionally, no chemical solvents are used in CO2 extraction, which could otherwise remain in the oil. Minami's products are known for their exceptionally high quality and purity. In every production, the purity is analysed by external laboratories. Especially with fish oil, this care is very important, as fish nowadays can unfortunately contain contaminants due to seawater pollution.
