What other omega-3 fatty acids does Omegor Vitality contain?

Dear Sir, 

Each capsule of Omegor Vitality 1000 contains 1000 mg of fish oil. More than 75% (thus more than 750 mg/cps) of the fatty acids present are omega-3 series fatty acids of which at least 420 mg is EPA and 210 mg is DHA. To check the concentrations present in Omegor Vitality fish oil supplement I invite you to consult the certificates of the various batches on the market at the link below by searching for the name of our company U.G.A. Nutraceuticals : http://www.ifosprogram.com/consumer-reports.aspx

The other omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), stearidonic acid(STD), eicosatrienoic acid (ETE), eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA) and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA). The remainder consists of polyunsaturated fatty acids of the omega-6 class and omega-9 monounsaturated fatty acids. In Meaquor, which is designed as a supplement to be used as an alternative to Eskim 1000 and Esapent 1000, the omega-3 fatty acids are found in the form of ethyl esters with 500 mg of EPA and 400 mg of DHA per capsule. The fish oil used in the production of Meaquor is pharmaceutical grade ultra-purified and concentrated by the multiple molecular distillation process to ensure the absence of pollutants such as heavy metals while providing a high concentration in omega-3 EPA and DHA. Our company uses only fish oil of certified purity and all product batches conform to and exceed the strict standards of the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) and GOED (Global Organization on EPA and DHA) of which we are members. I give you below a table with typical values of heavy metals in Meaquor batches compared to the limits set by the European Commission and the IFOS and CRN/GOED standards.
