  • "Mixed Fatty Acids" in Oximega Fish?

    What exactly are "mixed fatty acids"?

    Oximega Fish has (in 1 softgel):
    400mg EPA
    200mg DHA
    400mg "Mixed fatty acids"

    I assume these are non-omega-3s? But are they healthy or just sort of filler stuff (as in, neither particularly good nor bad substances that occur naturally) in the oil? I know most (all?) fish oil products have these "mixed acids" in them and I'm no chemist, so I thought I'd ask here and try to get a handle on it.

    Thanks.

    Yup, fish oil itself isn't pure omega 3s. I know another rep can give a better answer.

      There are several more forms of Omega 3's than EPA and DHA. And 1 Oximega cap iself are, like you said, 400mg epa, 200mg dha, and 400mg of mixed omega 3 fatty acid. This gives a total of 1gram of Omega-3 fatty acids per cap.

        those are other (non dha/epa) omega 3 fatty acids. they arent bad, but they havent been proven as beneficial as epa and dha have been.
