Understanding Omega-3 Forms

There are two main forms of omega-3 supplements: triglyceride-bound and ethyl ester-bound. The triglyceride form, which mimics the natural structure found in fish, is far better absorbed by the body. Studies indicate that this form can be absorbed 50% to 70% more efficiently compared to ethyl esters, which are cheaper to produce but less effective. The ethyl ester form is also more prone to oxidation, potentially causing it to lose its beneficial properties and become harmful over time.
