Lester's Oil Range

Fish oil is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. Our diets are often too low in omega-3, so omega-3 fish oil soft gel capsules can be the ideal solution to ensure we are consuming enough. Omega-3 naturally supports health in many areas, including:

• Joint health
• Brain and memory support
• Heart, cholesterol, and blood pressure
• Eye health
• Skin and cellular structure

Lester's Oil and Lester's Oil Advanced are both multi-ingredient fish oils. However, Lester's Oil Advanced may be more suitable for individuals that want extra support for eye health, brain health, joint mobility and cardiovascular health.

Lester's Oil Advanced contains the same ingredients as Lester's Oil, with some key ingredients in higher concentrations, plus phospholipids to aid absorption.

Here is the difference in concentration between Lester's Oil and Lester's Oil Advanced:

• Fish Oil Esters: +27%
• DHA (docosahexaenoic acid): +100%
• Total Omega-3 Fatty Acids: +30%
• Co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10): +50%
• Natural astaxanthin: +300%

Phospholipids in Lester's Oil Advanced:

• Phosphatidylcholine
• Phosphatidylserine

EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are two of the most powerful omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil. These are the ones your body actually uses to support your heart, brain, joints, and eyes. Your body can’t make enough EPA and DHA on its own, which is where Lester’s Oil comes in. Each soft gel of Lester's Oil is packed with both EPA and DHA, with even higher concentrations in Lester's Oil Advanced, to give you the omega-3s you need for healthy ageing and vitality.

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients, and an integral part of cell membranes throughout the body. Omega-3 fatty acids provide a starting point for making hormones that regulate healthy heart function, and also bind to cell receptors that regulate genetic function. Our body can not make omega-3, so we must consume it through diet or fish oil omega 3 supplements.

Although there are no strict recommendations, most studies recommend consuming between 250-500mg of EPA and DHA per day. Typically, there is around 300mg of combined EPA and DHA in a 1000mg fish oil capsule. Keep in mind that some brands of omega 3 fish oil soft gels contain higher EPA, DHA, and omega 3 dosage than others, so be sure to read the label and take as directed.

If you are unsure about the right omega 3 fish oil dosage for you, always consult a medical professional.

Fish oil is generally safe for most people, but certain individuals should be cautious to avoid it:

• People who are taking blood thinning medications should speak to a healthcare professional before taking a fish oil supplement.
• Those with fish or soy allergies. 
• Individual with certain medical conditions should consult their doctor before taking a fish oil.
• Talk to your doctor before taking this supplement if you are pregnant or nursing.
• Always read the label and use as directed. Supplementary to a balanced diet.

Lester's Oil Advanced contains higher concentrations of all the key ingredients in the same number of capsules—including double the DHA, 30% more total omega-3s, 50% more CoQ10, and four times the astaxanthin. It also includes phospholipids to support absorption, which aren't in the regular Lester’s Oil formula. You're getting a more concentrated, potent formula designed for those who want stronger support for their health.

Every batch of Lester's Oil and Lester's Oil Advanced is independently batch-tested by a third-party NZ lab for potency and quality, and has always exceeded its label claim for omega-3 levels.

Lester's Oil is also backed by a human study conducted at a leading New Zealand university, which showed a 59% increase in omega-3 levels in just four weeks. Each ingredient is carefully selected based on scientific research and formulated for superior absorption.

Fish oil can have a mild blood-thinning effect, so if you’re taking prescription blood-thinning medications (like warfarin), you should consult your healthcare professional before taking fish oil.

Both Lester’s Oil and Lester’s Oil Advanced are gluten-free and dairy-free, but they do contain soy, as well as olive oil and sunflower oil as part of the formulation. Please note both contain fish oil, so they’re not suitable for vegetarians or anyone with fish or soy allergies.

For optimal results, it’s recommended to take fish oil in the morning with food. Taking it in the morning can help you absorb the omega-3 fatty acids more effectively, especially if your meal contains healthy fats. It can also support brain function and energy levels throughout the day, while making it easier to stick to a consistent supplement routine.

Store capsules in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing in humid areas. Once opened, keeping the bottle in the fridge can help maintain freshness and reduce the chance of oxidation.
