Genestra Genestra - Super EFA Liquid, 200 ml
Genestra Super EFA Liquid - Provides 1675 mg of EPA and DHA per teaspoon serving and has an EPA:DHA ratio of 1.3:1, which is ideal for helping to reduce serum triglyceride levels. Essential fatty acids helps support cognitive health and brain function, the development of the brain, eyes and nerves in children up to 12 years of age. Genestra Super EFA uses proprietary NEO-3™ process to concentrate natural EPA/DHA triglyceride form for improved absorption. NEO-3™ process utilizes lipase enzymes to naturally enrich EPA and DHA concentrations, while virtually eliminating contaminants, and helps to deliver a clean taste.

Why people keep reordering it
- Meaningful EPA and DHA
- Real doses of the fats most diets fall short on, not a token amount.
- Purified for freshness
- Distilled to remove heavy metals and keep it fresh, with no fishy aftertaste.
- Heart, brain and joints
- The essential fats behind how you think, move and recover.
Best suited to: someone who gags on fish oil capsules, a family dosing kids and adults from one bottle, someone targeting triglyceride support with a specific epa-heavy ratio.
What the research supports
One teaspoon of this liquid fish oil is 820 mg EPA and 590 mg DHA. The 200 ml bottle holds 40 teaspoons.
Trials use 1 to 2 grams of combined EPA and DHA daily.
- Triglycerides (evidence: strong, from rct, meta-analysis)
- EPA and DHA reduce how much fat the liver packages into the blood, and daily doses near this one consistently lower fasting triglycerides across controlled trials.
- Memory (evidence: moderate, from rct, observational)
- DHA is a structural fat that makes up a large share of brain tissue. Adequate intake is linked to steadier memory and recall, though effects are less consistent in people who were not low to begin with.
- Child development (evidence: moderate, from rct, observational)
- DHA is a structural fat used to build the retina and the nervous system, and childhood intake is linked to how vision and neural pathways develop. This bottle includes a children's dosing line starting at age one.

Is it right for you
Worth it if
- someone who gags on fish oil capsules
- a liquid teaspoon dose avoids swallowing multiple large softgels to hit an equivalent 1400+ mg EPA/DHA dose.
- a family dosing kids and adults from one bottle
- the half teaspoon vs full teaspoon dosing makes it easy to scale down for children 1 to 8 without buying a separate product.
- someone targeting triglyceride support with a specific EPA-heavy ratio
- the roughly 1.4:1 EPA to DHA ratio here leans toward the profile studied for triglyceride management.
Look elsewhere if
- anyone who can't tolerate fishy aftertaste at all
- An enteric-coated softgel, which is the format built to hide both the flavour and the repeat. The orange oil here covers the taste at first and fades as the bottle ages.
- someone needing a shelf-stable travel option
- a capsule-based fish oil that doesn't require refrigeration after opening would suit travel better.
- someone wanting DHA-dominant support for cognition specifically
- look for an algae or fish oil product with a higher DHA than EPA ratio, since this one is EPA-leaning.
What to expect
Triglyceride and cardiovascular markers typically shift over 8 to 12 weeks of consistent daily use at this dose, not days. There's nothing to feel directly, so consistency matters more than timing it around meals for a subjective effect.
How it compares
- Compared with standard fish oil softgels
- the liquid triglyceride-form concentrate delivers a higher combined EPA/DHA dose per serving without needing 3 to 4 capsules, and the enzymatic process is meant to reduce fishy odor and taste. The tradeoff: liquids need refrigeration after opening and are less convenient to carry than sealed capsules.
- Compared with a lower-potency 1000 mg fish oil capsule
- one teaspoon here already provides more combined EPA/DHA than most single fish oil capsules on their own. The tradeoff: the concentrated dose and orange oil flavouring mean it costs more per bottle than basic capsule fish oil.
