Igennus Pharmepa COMPLETE Omega-3 rTG | 444 mg fatty acids (EPA 277 + DHA 167) + Omega-6 GLA | 60 Softgels

Igennus Pharmepa COMPLETE Omega-3 rTG is a pharmaceutical-grade fish oil in a pack of 60 softgels. According to the product title, each softgel provides 500 mg of fatty acids, including 277 mg EPA and 167 mg DHA. It also contains omega-6 GLA from evening primrose oil and vitamin E to protect the oil from oxidation. It is designed for people dealing with silent chronic inflammation, poor focus, stiff joints, dry eyes and skin, or unbalanced blood lipids. It aims to tackle the root cause. The underlying issue is often not the symptom itself but the imbalance between omega-3 and omega-6 in the modern diet. Industrial seed oils such as corn, sunflower and soybean flood the body with pro-inflammatory omega-6, while wild oily fish rich in omega-3 has become scarce. This formula is built to restore that balance in a highly absorbable rTG form.

What Is Pharmepa COMPLETE Omega-3 Fish Oil?

Omega-3s are essential fatty acids. The body cannot make enough of them on its own, so they must come from the diet. The two most important are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which come mainly from oily fish. In this formula, the oil is in rTG (re-esterified triglyceride) form. The oil is first concentrated to raise its EPA and DHA content. The fatty acids are then returned to the same natural triglyceride structure found in fish, the structure the digestive system handles most efficiently. Alongside the wild fish oil, the formula includes cold-pressed evening primrose oil. This oil is a source of GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), linoleic acid and omega-9 (oleic acid).

Benefits of Pharmepa COMPLETE Omega-3 Fish Oil

• Calms inflammation at its source: In the body, EPA is converted into anti-inflammatory compounds. It also competes with arachidonic acid, which fuels the chronic inflammation behind many everyday aches.
• Supports heart and blood vessel health: Omega-3s support flexible blood vessel walls and help keep blood triglycerides in check. Triglycerides are one of the clearest markers linked to insulin resistance.
• Focus, memory and mental clarity: DHA is a key structural component of brain cell membranes. Good levels support fast communication between nerve cells and help ease brain fog.
• Mood and stress resilience: EPA in particular is linked to balanced mood. Inflammation in the brain is one of the factors that weighs on mental wellbeing and lowers tolerance to pressure.
• Eye health and dryness: DHA is concentrated in the retina. Omega-3s also support the quality of the oily layer of tears, which helps relieve burning and dryness.
• Joint flexibility: Calming inflammatory signals can help with morning joint stiffness and discomfort after exertion.
• Skin, hair and hormones: GLA from evening primrose oil supports skin hydration and elasticity. It is also associated with hormonal balance in women, especially for menstrual-related discomfort.
• Supports insulin sensitivity: Cell membranes rich in omega-3 respond better to insulin's signal, which helps the body manage blood sugar.

How Pharmepa COMPLETE Omega-3 Works in the Body

Every cell in the body is surrounded by a membrane made of fat, and the fats you eat determine the quality of that membrane. A diet high in industrial seed oils fills membranes with omega-6. This makes them stiffer and less responsive to hormones, including insulin. It also primes them to release inflammatory compounds at the slightest trigger. When EPA and DHA levels rise in the membranes, they become more flexible. EPA is then converted into compounds that dampen inflammation rather than fuel it.

Many people miss one point: not all omega-6 is harmful. GLA is converted in the body into DGLA, a building block for compounds that calm inflammation. However, the body's own production of GLA depends on an enzyme that many factors can block. These include high blood sugar and insulin, chronic stress, ageing, and low zinc and magnesium. That is why this formula supplies ready-made GLA to bypass that bottleneck. At the same time, EPA helps prevent DGLA from being diverted into inflammatory pathways. This is what "complete" omega balance means.

Fat absorption also depends on bile released by the gallbladder. People with sluggish bile flow, or who feel heavy after fatty meals, may not get the full benefit. Supporting the liver and gallbladder therefore has a direct effect on omega-3 absorption. Several habits deplete these fatty acids or weaken their effect: eating a lot of hydrogenated and fried oils, sugar, chronic stress, smoking and poor sleep.

What Makes This Formula Different

Igennus uses the rTG (re-esterified triglyceride) form, which the label describes as highly absorbable. The formula is EPA-rich. According to the label, every two softgels provide 668 mg EPA and 334 mg DHA. That is around 1000 mg of EPA and DHA combined, within 1108 mg omega-3 from 1336 mg wild fish oil. Each two-softgel serving also includes 478 mg cold-pressed evening primrose oil. This provides 350 mg omega-6 and 9, including 40 mg GLA. The serving also contains 6 mg vitamin E (50% of the reference intake) as natural d-alpha tocopherol to protect the oil from oxidation. The emphasis on EPA reflects its strength against inflammation and its role in mood balance, while DHA complements it by supporting the brain and eyes.

Each softgel contains natural lemon flavour to prevent fishy repeat. The shell is made from fish gelatin and vegetable glycerin. The formula is free from dairy, gluten, lactose, soy, wheat, yeast, and artificial colours and flavours. It is non-GMO, not tested on animals, and suitable for halal and kosher diets. It is made in the UK to GMP standards and is third-party tested.

Who Is This Product For?

• People who rarely eat wild oily fish and whose diet relies on seed oils and processed foods.
• Anyone with signs of chronic inflammation, such as stiff joints and dry skin and eyes.
• Those focused on heart health and triglyceride levels, or working to improve insulin sensitivity.
• People struggling with scattered focus, mental pressure and ongoing stress.
• Women looking for support with hormonal balance and skin hydration, thanks to GLA.
• Teenagers aged 12 and over, following the dose specified for them on the label.

How to Use

The usual adult dose is two softgels daily. You can double the dose for extra support, without exceeding the maximum stated on the label. Teenagers aged 12 and over can take one to two softgels daily. For best absorption, take the softgels with food and split the daily dose between morning and evening. Ideally, take them with a meal that contains natural fats such as eggs, avocado or olive oil, as fat triggers the bile release needed for absorption. Take them consistently every day, since omega-3s work by building up gradually in cell membranes. You will get more out of them by cutting back on industrial seed oils and sugar. Getting enough magnesium and zinc also helps, as the body needs both to convert fatty acids. At two softgels a day, one pack lasts about a month.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of rTG over regular fish oil?

In rTG form, the fish oil is first concentrated. Its fatty acids are then returned to the natural triglyceride structure found in fish. The digestive system is familiar with this structure, so rTG is considered one of the most absorbable forms of omega-3. It also delivers more EPA and DHA per softgel.

Why does it contain omega-6 when we are told to cut back on it?

The omega-6 worth cutting back on comes from refined industrial seed oils. GLA from evening primrose oil is a different type. The body converts it into compounds that calm inflammation, and it is hard for the body to make its own when blood sugar is high, under stress, or with age.

Will this oil cause a fishy taste or repeat?

The formula contains natural lemon flavour specifically to prevent fishy repeat. Taking the softgels with food and splitting the dose between morning and evening improves both digestive comfort and absorption.

When is the best time to take omega-3?

Take it with a meal that contains natural fats, and split the dose between morning and evening as the label recommends. Daily consistency matters more than exact timing, because the benefit comes from omega-3 building up in cell membranes.
