5 Reasons Why Napiers Arctic Omega-3 Isn't A Standard Fish Oil
Backed by more than 165 years of experience, Napiers Arctic Omega-3 is extracted from Norwegian herring caviar rather than pressed from fish. It offers a combined 450mg of EPA and DHA per daily serving, in the phospholipid form the roe itself uses.

A Whole-Food Roe Extract, Not A Pressed Oil
Standard omega-3 supplements are pressed fish oil, refined into triglyceride or ethyl ester form. Napiers Arctic Omega-3 is extracted from herring caviar (the roe) where omega-3 fatty acids occur bound to marine phospholipids. Phospholipids are the lipid class that forms cell membranes throughout the body, including in the brain. The extract retains that structure: 320mg marine phospholipids per serving, alongside naturally occurring choline and marine trace elements. Minimal processing, nothing isolated and rebuilt.

Combined 450mg of EPA And DHA Per Daily Serving
Each daily serving of two capsules delivers 340mg DHA and 110mg EPA - 450mg combined. There’s no established NRV for omega-3, but the International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids recommends adults consume a minimum of 250mg combined EPA and DHA daily. This provides almost double that. EFSA has advised that up to 5g combined EPA and DHA daily raises no safety concerns for healthy adults, so there’s comfortable headroom.

Three Roles No Other Nutrient Fills
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats, the body can’t produce them and must obtain them from diet. DHA is the dominant structural fat in the brain and the retina; EPA and DHA work together in the heart. DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function, DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision, and EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart.
4
Sustainably Sourced From A Catch Already Happening
The herring caviar is harvested as part of Norway’s annual herring catch rather than through dedicated fishing, so no additional fish are taken for the oil. Norway operates one of the world’s most tightly regulated and transparent fisheries. The extract is naturally low in heavy metals and requires minimal refining.

Crafted by herbalists, backed by heritage
From our Edinburgh beginnings in 1860, the Napiers motto has been: tried, tested, trusted. Napiers Arctic Omega-3 carries that same spirit. A whole-food source chosen for what it is rather than what it can be processed into.

Where Omega-3 Does Its Work
Omega-3 fatty acids aren’t used in one place. EPA and DHA are structural and functional components across several systems at once, which is why consistent daily intake matters more than occasional high doses. Napiers Arctic Omega-3 supplies them in the phospholipid form, the same lipid class those membranes are made from.
Brain & Cognitive Function
DHA is the dominant structural fat in the human brain, concentrated in the membranes of nerve cells. A daily serving of Napiers Arctic Omega provides 340mg of DHA, above the 250mg intake at which DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function.
Heart & Circulation
The heart is the body's most metabolically active muscle, contracting without pause for a lifetime. EPA and DHA are incorporated into cardiac cell membranes and act as precursors to the signalling molecules that regulate normal cardiovascular function.
Vision
The retina holds one of the highest DHA concentrations of any tissue in the body, densest in the photoreceptor cells that convert light into signal. Those cells rebuild their membranes continuously, drawing on circulating DHA to do it.
Cell Membranes
Every cell in your body is wrapped in a membrane made of phospholipids. In herring caviar, omega-3 already occurs bound to marine phospholipids rather than as free triglycerides. Each serving of Napiers Arctic Omega provides 320mg of them alongside the EPA and DHA.

Your Questions, Answered
What’s the difference between phospholipid omega-3 and standard fish oil?
In herring caviar, omega-3 fatty acids occur bound to phospholipids. Standard fish oil is refined during processing into triglyceride or ethyl ester form. Phospholipids are the lipid class that makes up cell membranes throughout the body, so the caviar extract retains omega-3 in the arrangement the roe itself uses.
Why herring caviar rather than fish oil?
Herring caviar is one of the richest natural sources of phospholipid-bound omega-3, and naturally contains choline and marine trace elements alongside its EPA and DHA. It’s harvested from the annual Norwegian herring catch, needs minimal processing, and is naturally low in heavy metals.
How much omega-3 do I actually need?
There’s no UK NRV for omega-3. ISSFAL recommends a minimum of 250mg combined EPA and DHA daily for adults. A daily serving here provides 450mg — almost double. EFSA has advised up to 5g daily raises no safety concerns for healthy adults.
Can I take this with other supplements?
In most cases, yes. If you’re pregnant, under medical supervision, taking medication, or using blood-thinning medication, consult your practitioner before taking fish oils.
