MegaMarine™ is a comprehensive, full-spectrum fish oil scientifically formulated with a superior ratio of EPA, DHA, and the “forgotten” DPA to maintain a healthy gut microbiome and support healthy immune and gut barrier function. The omega-3s in MegaMarine™ are in the triglyceride form for optimal absorption and bioavailability. This gut-specific fish oil is formulated explicitly with higher EPA content than DHA content to support a healthy gut plus it includes naturally-occurring metabolites called specialized pro-resolving mediators, shown to support a healthy gut barrier and mucosal lining.

Although it has long been established that fish oil is a valuable support for many body functions, it has been severely underutilized to maintain digestive and intestinal health. A recent study found that omega-3 supplementation maintains microbial diversity, specifically of Bifidobacterium, Akkermansia muciniphila, and Lactobacillus, and supports intestinal alkaline phosphatase production. Intestinal alkaline phosphatase supports healthy detoxification of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the gut lumen, helping prevent LPS entry into the bloodstream.
Many fish oil supplements miss the mark when it comes to formulation. Fish oil has been particularly underused for supporting gut health. Some fish oil products claim to benefit the gut microbiome, but based on their omega-3 ratios, are formulated more specifically for brain health than gut health. MegaMarine™ contains the triglyceride format of three omega fatty acids plus specialized pro-resolving mediators. Each has these unique health-supportive benefits:
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid): A powerful omega-3 for supporting gut health well-documented for its ability to maintain healthy intestinal mucosa. MegaMarine™ is formulated explicitly with higher EPA content to support a healthy gut.
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid): Most known for supporting healthy brain function. However, one of THE most important role in maintaining phosphatidylserine (PS) levels. PS is a critical compound in phospholipid membranes, a vital component of all cell membranes. PS also supports healthy brain and gastrointestinal tract nerve cell function and signal conduction.
DPA (docosapentaenoicacid ): The “forgotten fatty acid.” It can uniquely support EPA and DHA tissue status and helps maintain a healthy gut. DPA supplementation can support the absorption of EPA and DHA (thus supporting the bioavailability of both omega-3s). DPA supplementation can also support inhibition in cyclooxygenase (COX) pathways, helping to maintain healthier cells and tissues.
Specialized Pro-Resolving Mediators (SPMs): Omega-3 derivatives that support specific critical immune functions. Although the human body converts omega-3’s to SPMs, the process is energetically expensive and time-consuming. Stress, genetics, diet, and lifestyle factors can also limit SPM production. MegaMarine™ accounts for these challenges by including SPMs in its formulation.
