Lovasa, the new name for Omacor, is an excellent fish oil product that is available only with a doctor’s prescription for patients with very high triglycerides. It contains 840 mg of combined EPA plus DHA per soft gel. It is not enteric coated. Vitamin E is the antioxidant used in Lovaza for protection of the oil. When compared to Lovasa,VitalOils1000™ has 160 mg more DHA plus EPA per soft gel. It is enteric coated to avoid a fishy aftertaste, and it contains rosemary and vitamin C instead of vitamin E to protect its oils. Recent literature has found vitamin C and rosemary to be superior to vitamin E for protecting oils.VitalOils1000™ also does not require a prescription.
