What makes PurePath Wild Arctic Omega different from other fish oil supplements?
PurePath Wild Arctic Omega is sourced exclusively from wild-caught Norwegian cod in pristine Arctic waters with same-day processing to ensure exceptional freshness. Our supply chain minimizes oxygen exposure to reduce oxidation, and we deliver omega-3s in their natural triglyceride form for optimal absorption. Every batch is third-party tested for purity, heavy metals, and oxidation markers, ensuring you receive one of the cleanest fish oils available.
Is wild-caught fish oil better than farmed?
Yes. Wild-caught fish from Arctic waters naturally contain higher omega-3 levels and significantly lower contaminants like PCBs compared to farmed fish. Wild-caught sources also align with sustainable fishing practices when properly sourced. Norwegian Arctic cod is harvested under strict environmental regulations, supporting healthier ocean ecosystems while providing superior quality omega-3s.
What is the difference between EPA and DHA?
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) primarily supports cardiovascular health, reduces inflammation, and promotes balanced mood. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is the main structural component of brain tissue, essential for cognitive function, memory, mental clarity, and vision. Both work synergistically for optimal health. PurePath provides a balanced 500 mg EPA and 700 mg DHA ratio for comprehensive brain and heart support.
Can fish oil help with brain fog and mental clarity?
DHA makes up approximately 40% of polyunsaturated fatty acids in your brain and is essential for neurotransmitter function, affecting focus, memory, and mental clarity. The 700 mg of DHA in PurePath provides substantial brain health support. For optimal cognitive benefits, consistency is key.
Does fish oil reduce inflammation?
EPA has well-documented anti-inflammatory properties, helping regulate the body's inflammatory response. Studies suggest 2,000-2,700 mg of combined EPA and DHA daily for therapeutic anti-inflammatory effects. The 500 mg EPA in PurePath provides meaningful anti-inflammatory support when taken consistently, valuable for joint health, post-exercise recovery, and general wellness.
Will fish oil cause fishy burps?
Fishy burps are primarily caused by oxidation (rancidity), not the fish oil itself. PurePath's careful processing and Norwegian sourcing minimize oxidation. To further reduce any fishy taste or burps, take your fish oil with meals containing dietary fats for improved absorption. Refrigerating after opening also helps maintain freshness.
When should I take fish oil—morning or night?
Fish oil can be taken any time of day. The most important factor is taking it with a meal containing dietary fats for optimal absorption. There's no evidence one time is superior—consistency matters most. Choose a time you'll remember and stick with it.
How is PurePath Wild Arctic Omega sustainably sourced?
PurePath is sourced from wild-caught Norwegian cod under strict fishing regulations that maintain healthy fish populations and protect ecosystems. Norway's rigorous quotas and monitoring systems ensure sustainability. Our single-source approach allows complete traceability, and processing facilities near fishing grounds enable same-day processing, minimizing environmental impact while maintaining maximum freshness.
