1) Harp Seal Oil contains all three components of Omega-3: Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and in the same proportions that are found naturally in the human body.
2) About a third of the long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids circulating in human blood are attributable to DPA. Seal oil can provide up to ten times the DPA than fish oils.
3) Fish oil is susceptible to oxidation whereas seal oil is more resistant to natural oxidative processes.
4) The absorption of seal oil into human is easier and more thorough than fish and fish oil. In seal oil, the Omega-3 fatty acids are in the -1 and -3 positions of the triglyceride molecule (same as humans) while in fish oil they are in the -2 position.
5) Seal oil is virtually free of cholesterol, while many fish and fish oils are relatively high in cholesterol.
6) The Omega-3 content of seal oil is 20%-25%, which is higher than most fish oils, making seal oil capsules a much more effective source of Omega-3 than fish itself.
