What is Omega-3 EPA/DHA (AvailOm®)?

Omega-3 EPA/DHA (AvailOm®) is a Fatty Acid supplement available in 1 form.

Not all forms of Omega-3 EPA/DHA (AvailOm®) are equal. The form you choose determines how much Omega-3 EPA/DHA (AvailOm®) actually reaches your tissues, and the difference between the best and worst forms can be substantial. AvailOm free fatty acid (FFA) omega-3 provides 3-5x greater bioavailability than standard ethyl ester fish oil because it bypasses the pancreatic lipase requirement for absorption. This is particularly important for individuals with impaired fat digestion, and allows clinically effective omega-3 index elevation at lower doses.

Forms of Omega-3 EPA/DHA (AvailOm®) Compared

Omega-3 EPA/DHA (AvailOm® High EPA) 2:1 Preferred (T1 Preferred) has a bioavailability rating of high (S1 — best tier). Typical dose range: not yet documented in our database.

What the Research Shows

AvailOm is a free fatty acid (FFA) form of omega-3 that demonstrates 3-5x greater bioavailability compared to standard ethyl ester fish oil. The FFA form does not require pancreatic lipase for absorption, making it effective even in individuals with impaired fat digestion. Clinical studies confirm rapid elevation of omega-3 index with lower doses compared to traditional fish oil.

Re-esterified triglyceride omega-3 showed 124% relative bioavailability vs natural TG form in human crossover PMID: 20638827
Ethyl ester omega-3 achieved only 73% bioavailability relative to triglyceride form PMID: 21854650
Krill oil phospholipid form shows superior EPA/DHA plasma incorporation at doses under 2000mg PMID: 24124374

How to Choose the Right Form

Omega-3 EPA/DHA (AvailOm® High EPA) 2:1 is classified as T1 Preferred in the FormulaForge formulary — our top recommendation for Omega-3 EPA/DHA (AvailOm®).
