MuscleXP Omega 3 Fish Oil 1000 mg (180mg EPA and 120mg DHA) - 60 Enteric Coated Softgels

What Fish Oil Is For

Fish oil is a form of fatty acid that is derived from the tissues of oily fish. It contains the -3 fatty acids, including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are what has gained the most attention with regard to health research over the last few years.

Individuals who consume a high amount of fatty fish in their diet tend not to need to supplement with fish oil capsules as much or as often. MuscleXP Enteric Coated Fish Oil offers 1000mg of Fish Oil which yields 330mg 3 (180mg EPA, 120mg DHA).

How Enteric Coating Works

A regular fish oil pill that is NOT enteric coated will dissolve in the stomach in about 15 to 20 minutes. Once the pill dissolves, the oil can rise to the surface and possibly cause burping.

Since enteric coating will not dissolve in acidic environments, it stays put. It will not dissolve in the stomach. If it doesnt dissolve, you cannot burp up oil or possibly damage the -3.

Enteric coated pills will simply move along untouched past the stomach to the small intestine.

The duodenum or small intestine is not acidic. It is neutral. Stomach acids are neutralized at the entrance of the small intestines.

In the safe environment of the small intestines, the enteric coating quickly dissolves. Within minutes.

At this point, the oil is too far down the gullet for you to burp it up.

No Magic Bullet

And always keep in mind that no individual food or nutrient whether its fish oil, or anything else touted as the latest and greatest can ever match the benefits of an overall healthy food plan
