What Form of Omega-3 Is Used in the Amen Omega-3 Supplement?Updated 3 hours ago
The omega-3s in the Amen Omega-3 supplement are provided in the ethyl ester (EE) form.
What “Ethyl Ester (EE)” Means?
Ethyl esters are commonly used in purified omega-3 concentrates. This form is created during the purification process of fish oil, which allows the omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) to be concentrated and standardized.
Using the ethyl ester form makes it possible to:
- Achieve higher and more consistent levels of EPA and DHA per serving
- Maintain precise control over omega-3 content
- Support product stability and uniformity from batch to batch
How EE Differs From Other Forms?
For reference, omega-3 supplements may appear in several forms:
- Natural Triglycerides (TG): the form found naturally in fish oil before processing.
- Re-esterified Triglycerides (rTG): a form that starts as ethyl esters and is later converted back into triglycerides.
- Ethyl Esters (EE): a purified and concentrated form that allows for higher EPA and DHA levels in a controlled and standardized way.
Each form is simply a different way omega-3 fatty acids are structured during processing and formulation.
Label Transparency
When the Supplement Facts panel lists EPA and DHA amounts, it reflects the actual omega-3 content present in the product, regardless of the form used. The form (such as ethyl ester) refers to how the omega-3s are structured, not to a difference in ingredient identity.
