Fish oil is highly regarded and commonly suggested by many health professionals to support the health of both the mother and baby during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Xtendlife are proud to recommend our high quality and pure Omega 3 / DHA Fish Oil or Omega 3 / DHA Fish Oil Mini Gels for the benefits it may have for the development of the baby's brain, neurological and physical systems. It can also play a very important role in supporting a balanced post-natal mood for the mother. This is because the baby draws off precious stores of the mother's DHA, which is depleted can lead to a low mood.

Our Omega 3 Mini Gels are 50% smaller than the industry standard 1000mg soft gels, each serving of 2 mini gels contains 1000 mg of full potency fish oil, which provides 550 mg of omega-3 essential fatty acids, including DHA and EPA – easy to swallow for anyone who struggles with larger soft gels. 

If you still have some difficulty, you can always puncture the soft gels and squeeze the fish oil onto cold food. This method will not compromise the product's efficacy, provided the food is consumed right away to avoid oxidization of the oil. We advise not adding the fish oil to hot food, as this may damage some of the valuable properties.

Purity is one of our biggest strengths. We pride ourselves on having some of the most stringent fish oil specifications in the world and we back this up with hard data from independent internationally certified laboratories.

Finished products are routinely tested for microbial and total heavy metal levels, as well as many in-process checks, to ensure a consistently high-quality product.

The Hoki Fish Oil is sourced from the pristine waters of the Southern Ocean off the coast of New Zealand.

The molecular distilled ethyl ester Tuna Fish Oil is sourced from the clear waters of the Southern Indian Ocean.

The benefit of tuna oil is that it is naturally rich in DHA. Smaller fish may tend to have less accumulation of toxins, but this is not an issue with Xtendlife fish oil because of the careful way the Tuna is processed. The Tuna oil is produced using molecular distillation and enzymatic hydrolysis. This results in exceptionally pure oil in natural Triglyceride form. This is why Xtendlife fish oil has much lower levels of contaminants than other fish oil products on the market.

Our Tuna oil is supplied by one of the world's best fish oil manufacturers. This manufacturer uses very modern equipment and production methods to produce the concentrated Tuna oil.  This means that the oil is only exposed to modest heat for a brief period during the concentration and purification of the oil. We chose this manufacturer because they are one of only a very small number in the world who has the ability to produce this high-quality oil while avoiding the need to use significant heat or convert the oil to Ethyl Esters during production.

Xtendlife Fish Oil has a high level of DHA (around 30%), which is the most complex of all omega-3 essential fatty acids and it is readily absorbed by the brain before any other Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs).

Increasing the DHA content in the red blood cells of the brain has been shown to lessen hyperactivity or behavior problems and encourage better concentration and focus.

Unfortunately, children these days often don't get enough DHA in their diet, therefore supplementing with a product high in DHA may offer great benefits to your children.

Omega-3 fatty acids are highly recommended for skin conditions such as eczema. The fatty acid profile is nourishing and hydrating to dry, irritated skin. Fish oil also has inflammation management properties that may help to calm eczema.

Omega 3 / DHA Fish Oil Mini Gels is ideal for children as they are small and easy to swallow. Omega-3 is also highly recommended during pregnancy to help reduce the likelihood of conditions related to childhood allergies, which may include eczema.
