FAQ
Q. What is the difference between rTG, EE, and TG forms?
TG (triglyceride) is the natural form, EE (ethyl ester) is an intermediate from concentration, and rTG (re-esterified triglyceride) combines high potency with natural absorption rates. rTG has the highest bioavailability.
Q. Is plant-based omega-3 equally effective?
Plant-based ALA converts to EPA/DHA at only 5-10% efficiency. For cardiovascular and brain health benefits, direct EPA/DHA from fish oil or microalgae sources is more effective.
Q. When should I take omega-3?
Taking with meals containing fat increases absorption. If fishy aftertaste is bothersome, choose enteric-coated capsules or freeze them before taking.
Q. What are the recognized health claims for omega-3 supplements in Korea?
MFDS recognizes claims including "improves blood triglycerides," "supports blood circulation," "supports memory improvement," and "helps relieve dry eyes."
