Most Americans don't get close to the omega-3 dose used in cardiovascular outcome trials. Common over-the-counter capsules contain 200-300mg of actual EPA+DHA — you'd need 6-10 of them daily to match what's been studied.
PeakRx Omega-3 Ultra delivers 2000mg of combined EPA and DHA per daily serving — the dose range used in REDUCE-IT, VITAL, and other large clinical trials. One softgel, once a day, with a meal.
What to expect
- 2000mg EPA + DHA
- Molecularly distilled
- Third-party oxidation tested
How it works
How it works
EPA and DHA are long-chain omega-3 fatty acids your body can't manufacture in meaningful quantities. They incorporate directly into cell membranes, where they:
- Compete with arachidonic acid for the same enzymes (COX, LOX), shifting eicosanoid production toward less-inflammatory metabolites
- Lower serum triglycerides by reducing hepatic VLDL synthesis (the mechanism is dose-dependent above ~2g/day)
- Cross the blood-brain barrier (especially DHA) where they support synaptic membrane fluidity
At supplement-store dosing (200-500mg/day) the effect on inflammation markers and triglycerides is small. At trial dosing (2-4g/day) the effect becomes clinically measurable.
Why this formula
Why this formula
The omega-3 market is crowded. Most products fail on one of three things — we don't:
- Real dose — 2000mg EPA+DHA per softgel, not the 200-300mg you get in drugstore capsules
- Molecularly distilled — heavy metals (mercury, lead, cadmium) and PCBs reduced to undetectable levels
- Third-party oxidation tested — every lot tested for peroxide and anisidine values. Rancid omega-3 is worse than no omega-3.
We use a triglyceride form (not ethyl ester) because absorption is meaningfully higher.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a prescription?
No. Omega-3 Ultra is a supplement. Patients with very high triglycerides may benefit from prescription icosapent ethyl (Vascepa) instead — we can route you to a provider conversation if that fits your situation.
Will this make me burp fish?
Unlikely. Reflux is usually caused by rancid oil, which is why we test every lot for oxidation. If you do experience reflux, take with a meal containing fat — that usually resolves it.
Triglyceride form vs ethyl ester — does it matter?
Yes. Triglyceride-form omega-3 is absorbed approximately 70% more efficiently than ethyl-ester form on a gram-for-gram basis. Ours is in triglyceride form.
Can I take this if I'm on a blood thinner?
Omega-3 has modest antiplatelet effects. Most patients on warfarin or DOACs can take supplement-level omega-3 without dose adjustments, but check with your cardiologist or PCP first — we won't dispense without acknowledgment if you flag this on intake.
How does this compare to eating salmon?
You'd need to eat about 4-6 ounces of wild Atlantic salmon every day to match 2000mg of EPA+DHA. Most people don't, which is why omega-3 deficiency is common in Western diets.
