What it is: Omega-3 1,000™ is a gluten-free, soy-free, enteric-coated fish oil concentrate formula developed by DaVinci Labs, delivering 1,000 mg of molecularly distilled fish oil concentrate per enteric-coated softgel, yielding 300 mg EPA and 200 mg DHA from wild-caught anchovies and sardines. The formula is IFOS™ (International Fish Oil Standards) certified — verified by Nutrasource Diagnostics Inc., the most rigorous third-party fish oil quality certification program available — ensuring that each batch meets strict standards for purity, potency, freshness, and heavy metal content. The enteric coating — applied using ethylcellulose, sodium alginate, and medium chain triglycerides — allows the softgel to bypass stomach acid dissolution, releasing the oil directly in the small intestine where EPA and DHA absorption is most efficient and eliminating the fishy aftertaste and reflux commonly associated with uncoated fish oil products. Vitamin E (as d-alpha tocopherol, 3.4 mg) is included as a natural antioxidant preservative to protect the unsaturated fatty acids from oxidative degradation. Designed for practitioner-directed use across cardiovascular, neurological, immune, hormonal, and skin health protocols requiring combined EPA and DHA supplementation.
How it works: Omega-3 1,000™ supports health through EPA and DHA's complementary and synergistic roles across cardiovascular, neurological, immunological, and cellular membrane physiology. Both EPA and DHA are incorporated into the phospholipid bilayers of cell membranes throughout the body — replacing pro-inflammatory arachidonic acid (AA) and modulating the ratio of inflammatory to anti-inflammatory eicosanoid substrate availability. EPA (300 mg per softgel, 600 mg per two-softgel daily serving) serves as the primary precursor to Series 3 prostaglandins (PGE3) and Series 5 leukotrienes — anti-inflammatory eicosanoid mediators that support healthy blood pressure regulation within normal ranges, platelet aggregation balance, vascular tone, triglyceride levels within normal ranges, and a healthy inflammatory response — alongside EPA-derived resolvins (E-series) that actively promote the resolution of inflammatory processes. DHA (200 mg per softgel, 400 mg per two-softgel daily serving) is the dominant structural omega-3 in neuronal cell membranes and synaptic phospholipids, constituting approximately 30–40% of the brain's gray matter fatty acid content, where it supports membrane fluidity, neurotransmitter receptor function, and synaptic signal transduction efficiency for cognitive performance, mood regulation, and neurological health. DHA is additionally concentrated in retinal photoreceptors, cardiac cell membranes, and reproductive tissue. Together, EPA and DHA support healthy cholesterol levels within normal ranges through their modulation of hepatic VLDL production and LDL particle size, healthy hormone balance through their role as prostaglandin precursors, cell membrane structural integrity across all tissue types, immune surveillance through prostaglandin-mediated immune cell signaling, and skin and hair health through membrane phospholipid composition support.
When to use it: Omega-3 1,000™ is appropriate for practitioner-directed use in adult clients requiring broad-spectrum omega-3 EPA and DHA support for cardiovascular health, lipid management, neurological function, inflammatory balance, immune support, skin and hair health, and hormonal balance. The enteric-coated delivery format makes this formula particularly well-suited for clients who have experienced fishy aftertaste or gastrointestinal discomfort with uncoated fish oil products, while the IFOS™ certification provides practitioner confidence in consistent purity, freshness, and potency. One softgel twice daily with a meal delivers 600 mg EPA and 400 mg DHA as a clinically meaningful combined daily omega-3 dose appropriate for maintenance and therapeutic protocols.

Key Ingredients
Fish Oil Concentrate — 1,000 mg (yielding EPA 300 mg / DHA 200 mg) This molecularly distilled, wild-caught fish oil concentrate sourced from anchovies and sardines — small, cold-water pelagic species with naturally high omega-3 content and lower bioaccumulation risk — is verified by IFOS™ (International Fish Oil Standards), the most stringent third-party fish oil certification program, ensuring compliance with strict standards for EPA/DHA potency, oxidative freshness (peroxide value, anisidine value, and TOTOX score), heavy metal content, and PCB levels. EPA (300 mg per softgel) serves as the primary eicosanoid precursor for Series 3 prostaglandins and Series 5 leukotrienes — the anti-inflammatory signaling molecules that support healthy blood pressure, platelet aggregation balance, and triglyceride and cholesterol levels within normal ranges — and as the substrate for EPA-derived E-series resolvins that actively promote the resolution phase of the inflammatory response. DHA (200 mg per softgel) is the dominant structural fatty acid in neuronal cell membranes, retinal photoreceptors, and cardiac muscle cell phospholipids, supporting membrane fluidity, synaptic signal transduction, and cognitive function, and serving as the substrate for DHA-derived protectins (particularly Neuroprotectin D1) that support neuronal survival and anti-neuroinflammatory resolution signaling. The enteric coating — applied using ethylcellulose, sodium alginate, and medium chain triglycerides — ensures the softgel bypasses gastric acid dissolution to release the oil directly in the duodenum and small intestine, eliminating fishy aftertaste and reflux while optimizing EPA and DHA absorption in the optimal intestinal absorptive environment.
