Natural Factors Natural Factors - SeaRich Omega-3 with Vitamin D3 - High Potency - Lemon Meringue**, 200 ml
Natural Factors SeaRich Omega-3 with Vitamin D3 - A great-tasting higher strength omega-3 oil made using the freshest, highest quality fish oil to support brain function, heart, bone, and joint health. Each teaspoon provides 1500 mg of EPA and 750 mg of DHA in triglyceride form that offers higher bioavailability and no fishy repeat, along with 1000 IU of vitamin D3. This higher strength formula is ideal for promoting healthy mood balance, supporting concentration, and learning potential in adolescents 14 years and older, as well as for adults looking to maintain cognitive function later in life. Omega-3 EPA and DHA can help reduce serum triglycerides/triacylglycerols, benefiting cardiovascular health, along with supporting immune health, and healthy skin and joints. Natural Factors SeaRich Omega-3 is sustainably sourced from sardine, anchovies, and /or mackerel and rigorously tested for purity, and certified by ISURA and IFOS.

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: told to get 2 g of omega-3 daily, people who get fishy repeat from capsules, anyone who struggles to swallow capsules, someone who also needs 1000 iu of vitamin d.
What the research supports
One teaspoon gives 1500 mg EPA and 750 mg DHA in triglyceride form, plus 1000 IU of vitamin D3. That equals about seven standard fish oil softgels.
Lipid trials use 2 to 4 g of combined EPA and DHA daily.
- Triglycerides (evidence: strong, from randomized controlled trial, meta-analysis)
- EPA and DHA cut how much fat the liver packages into the bloodstream, and combined intakes of 2 to 4 g a day consistently lower triglycerides in trials.
- Bone strength (evidence: strong, from randomized controlled trial, meta-analysis)
- Cholecalciferol switches on the gut's ability to absorb calcium from food, which bones need to stay dense. Daily doses of 1000 IU reliably raise and hold blood vitamin D through months with little sun.
- Joint comfort (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trial)
- Omega-3 dampens inflammatory signalling in joint tissue, and intakes of roughly 2 to 3 g a day have eased self-reported stiffness in trials, though the effect size is modest.
- Cognition (evidence: mixed, from randomized controlled trial, meta-analysis)
- Omega-3 is thought to support brain cell membranes as they age, but trials in older adults disagree, with benefit clearest in people who started with low omega-3 intake.

Is it right for you
Worth it if
- Told to get 2 g of omega-3 daily
- One teaspoon covers 2250 mg of EPA plus DHA without swallowing seven or eight softgels to get there.
- People who get fishy repeat from capsules
- Fishy repeat mostly comes from oxidised oil, and this is triglyceride-form oil protected with natural mixed vitamin E and flavoured with lemon.
- Anyone who struggles to swallow capsules
- It is a liquid measured with a teaspoon, so there is no pill at all.
- Someone who also needs 1000 IU of vitamin D
- Each teaspoon carries 1000 IU of cholecalciferol, so one bottle covers both jobs through a Canadian winter.
Look elsewhere if
- Someone already taking a separate vitamin D
- The 1000 IU is locked to every teaspoon. Add up both labels first, or use a plain fish oil and dose the vitamin D on its own.
- Anyone who just wants a baseline omega-3
- A softgel with 300 mg of combined EPA and DHA costs far less per day and is enough if the goal is simply to top up a diet light on fish.
- Vegans and anyone avoiding fish
- An algae-derived EPA and DHA oil supplies the same two fatty acids without sardine, anchovy or mackerel.
What to expect
Nothing on day one. At this intake, red blood cell omega-3 levels and blood lipid numbers take roughly 8 to 12 weeks to shift, so a follow-up panel earlier than that will not tell you much. If morning joint stiffness is your reason for taking it, give it 8 weeks before judging.
How it compares
- Compared with standard 1000 mg fish oil softgels
- You would need seven or eight of them to match the 2250 mg of EPA and DHA in one teaspoon, and this is triglyceride form rather than ethyl ester. The tradeoff: A liquid meets air every time you open it, so it has to be used steadily rather than sitting in a cupboard, and you cannot carry a dose to work in your pocket.
- Compared with an ethyl ester omega-3 concentrate
- Triglyceride form is how the fatty acids exist in the fish itself and is absorbed more completely, which matters most if you take it without a fatty meal. The tradeoff: Triglyceride-form oil costs more per gram of EPA and DHA to produce, and you pay that difference.
