Are you EFA-savvy? Omega-3 science is rather complex, but most interested individuals recognize the big players, EPA and DHA, present in marine oils. And while most fish oils provide more EPA than DHA, the evidence now shows that DHA is actually the body's preferred omega-3. Swanson has you covered with our Super DHA 500 omega-3 supplement featuring Calamarine® Marine Oil. Swanson Super DHA is the next generation, eco-friendly and sustainable omega-3 supplement that offers more DHA than any other marine source.
Because omega-3 fatty acids cannot be synthesized in the body, their importance in the diet cannot be overlooked. Calamarine differs from other marine oils in that it is a refined omega-3 supplement with a naturally greater ratio of DHA to EPA. CalaMarine the highly-purified, refined calamari or squid oil in our Super DHA 500 supplement, contains higher levels of the essential fatty acid DHA than most omega-3 other ingredients.
Research has shown that adding EPA and DHA to the diet of pregnant women has a positive effect on visual and cognitive development of the baby. Exciting recent developments demonstrate that the quality of maternal nutrient supply during the period of rapid early brain development in pregnancy has a lasting impact on later brain function at school age. Omega-3 fatty acids also have positive effects on the pregnancy itself.

FAQ
- What Is Calamari Oil?
Calamari oil is an omega-3-rich oil derived from squid. It provides EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids and is commonly used as an alternative to traditional fish oil supplements. - How Is Calamari Oil Different from Fish Oil?
Both calamari oil and fish oil provide omega-3 fatty acids, but calamari oil is derived from squid rather than fish. Calamari oil is naturally rich in DHA, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking targeted DHA omega-3 support. - Does Calamari Oil Have a Fishy Aftertaste?
Calamari oil is often preferred by some consumers because it may have a milder taste and odor than traditional fish oil. However, taste experiences can vary from person to person and by product formulation. - What Makes DHA Different From Other Omega-3 Fatty Acids?
Unlike some other omega-3 fatty acids, DHA is a major structural component of the brain and retina. This unique role makes DHA particularly important for supporting brain function, eye health, and healthy development throughout life. - Why Take a Standalone DHA Supplement?
While many omega-3 supplements provide a combination of EPA and DHA, a standalone DHA supplement offers targeted support from the omega-3 fatty acid most closely associated with brain, eye, and nervous system health. Individuals looking to increase their DHA intake specifically may choose a DHA-focused supplement as part of their daily wellness routine. - Is Swanson Super DHA 500 from Calamari Suitable for Special Diets?
Swanson Super DHA 500 from Calamari is non-GMO. However, it is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian diets because it is sourced from calamari (squid) and the softgels contain gelatin. It is also not gluten free.
