is this Ethyl ester form?

Yes, it’s a molecularly distilled ethyl ester product. Only low strength minimally processed fish oils are in the natural triglyceride form. The vast majority of fish oils on the market have been molecularly distilled and had their ratios of fatty acids manipulated to concentrate the EPA and DHA. Most fish oils that claim to be triglyceride form are actually synthetically reconverted into a partial triglyceride form after molecular distillation into an ethyl ester form.

How are you guys able to get a very high amount of dha per capsule if the regular dha amountis around 250 - 500 mg per capsule?

If we reconverted a concentrated fish oil into an rTG triglyceride form it would dilute the oil by at least 20%, reducing the DHA strength significantly. Triglycerides are stripped from the oil during digestion and only free form fatty acids are absorbed; so we must convert them to the triglyceride form internally whether we ingest a natural triglyceride form, a reconverted triglyceride form, or an esterified ethyl ester form.

Yes! There is a statement under the nutritional information reading that no gluten is used in the processing facility.

Does it contain any EPA?

No, the "Supplement Facts" label only lists DHA. The "Now" DHA-500 contains both EPA (250mg) & DHA (500mg)

Great for baby development

Currently pregnant and taking this everyday as it has the DHA for my baby's brain development! It's the same than a regular omega 3 pill but with the added benefit of the DHA! This last me 3 months and I enjoy the convenience of the subscription so I don't have to worry about running out. The smell is not that strong and it doesn't have a taste. It seems to be good quality. 👍

Smells & tastes like rotting fish

Not my first bottle,best by 2028, I guess very poor quality control, a first for Now since I have purchased their products for 25+ years? Smell & fishy taste vanished after airing, did not return.

Great Results

I have been taking this supplement for almost 3 months now. I have experience a noticeable improvement in my mental alertness. I Feel sharper mentally than I have in several years. If you are getting older and you’re experiencing a little mental fog, or just don’t feel like you’re 100% as mentally sharp as you once were, I highly recommend this supplement.
