Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids required by the body that must come from the food we eat because the body can't make them. They are vital for brain function and normal growth and development, and they may lower the risk of heart disease and cancer. Coromega Omega-3 is an over-the-counter supplement that provides omega-3s with enhanced flavor (orange, chocolate orange, or lemon lime). It is important to speak with a doctor before you take dietary supplements.
Fish Oil
Each serving of Coromega Omega-3 contains 2,000 mg of fish oil, which is composed of 350 mg EPA and 230 mg DHA, according to the company's website. EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are two types of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil. These good fats protect against heart disease by reducing blood clot formation, inhibiting fatty deposit buildup on vessel walls and lowering triglycerides while raising HDL or good cholesterol levels, according to the Council for Responsible Nutrition.
Vitamins
A single serving of Coromega Omega3 provides 20 percent and 10 percent daily value of vitamins C and E, respectively, according to the website. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that helps clear free radicals from the body -- by-products of chemical reactions that can damage cells. Vitamin C also boosts the immune system and participates in neurotransmitter and connective tissue production, according to Harvard Health Publications. Vitamin E is an also antioxidant and may help protect against Alzheimer's disease and prostate cancer.
Stevia Leaf Extract
Each serving of Coromega Omega3 contains 10 mg of stevia leaf extract. Stevia leaf extract is a herb used as a sweetener in a variety of products. It generally replaces sugar to reduce calories or replaces other artificial sweeteners that are not all natural.
Other Ingredients
Coromega Omega3 supplements contain pasteurized egg yolk, vegetable oil, citric acid, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, xanthan gum and menthol. The supplements also contain different flavoring and coloring agents that vary depending on the flavor.
