Quick Facts

Who Carlson Maximum Omega Is For

• Adults focused on cardiovascular wellness who want a high-EPA omega-3 — EPA is the omega-3 most studied for heart support
• People wanting mood and emotional wellness support — research generally supports high-EPA ratios here
• Anyone looking for healthy inflammatory balance support, including active adults and people with joint concerns
• Adults who want a concentrated dose in fewer softgels (2,000 mg in 2 softgels vs 6-8 of basic fish oil)
• People wanting IFOS-certified pharmaceutical-grade purity standards — third-party tested for heavy metals, PCBs, and oxidation
• Anyone who's tried fishy basic fish oils and found them unpleasant — lemon flavour and high quality minimize fishy aftertaste

Who this product is NOT for: If your main goal is brain support or pregnancy nutrition, a more balanced or high-DHA fish oil is the better fit — see Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega (balanced 1.4:1 ratio) or a dedicated high-DHA product. If you want naturally occurring vitamins A and D alongside omega-3, cod liver oil is a different category — see Carlson Norwegian Cod Liver Oil. If you take blood-thinning medications, consult your practitioner before using concentrated fish oil.

Vitamart's Take

Maximum Omega 2000 is Carlson's most concentrated fish oil and one of the higher-EPA omega-3s in our shelves. The 2.5:1 EPA-to-DHA ratio is intentional — EPA is the omega-3 most associated with cardiovascular wellness, mood support, and healthy inflammatory response. The IFOS 5-star certification is the most rigorous third-party fish oil rating, with public batch-by-batch reports verifying contamination levels and label accuracy. Premium-priced because of the concentration, certifications, and Norwegian sourcing.

Fish Oil Forms: A Quick Guide

You'll see three abbreviations on fish oil labels. Here's what each means:

• TG (Triglyceride): The natural form omega-3s exist in inside fish. Well absorbed (around 70%). Common in liquid fish oils and premium cod liver oils.
• EE (Ethyl Ester): A processed form that allows higher concentration but is less absorbed (around 30-40%). Common in concentrated fish oils. If the label doesn't say "TG" or "rTG," it's likely EE.
• rTG (Re-Esterified Triglyceride) — this product: Processed for high concentration, then converted back to triglyceride for absorption. The best of both — high concentration AND well absorbed. Common in premium concentrated fish oils.

What to look for: "TG form" or "rTG form" on the label, plus a third-party purity certification like IFOS.

How To Use

Adults: Take 2 softgels daily with food, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Taking with a meal containing some fat improves absorption since omega-3s are fat-soluble.

Talk to a healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, take blood-thinning medications (especially warfarin or aspirin), are scheduled for surgery, or have a medical condition. Fish oil has mild blood-thinning effects.
