Seal Omega

Why Seal Oil is Different

An evidence-based comparison of three omega-3 sources.

Key Feature	Seal Oil 🦭	Fish Oil 👁️	Krill Oil 🦐
Rich in DPA	✅ Naturally high in DPA - a rare, powerful omega-3	❌ Very low	❌ Trace amounts
Mammalian Source	✅ Yes - compatible with human metabolism	❌ No	❌ No
Triglyceride Structure	✅ Optimized for absorption (sn-1/sn-3)	⚠️ Average (sn-2 dominant)	❌ Phospholipid form - different pathway
Bioavailability	✅ Superior	⚠️ Good	✅ Good
Cold Stability	✅ Remains fluid at Arctic temperatures	❌ May solidify	✅ Naturally fluid in cold
Heavy Metal Risk	✅ Extremely low (Arctic origin)	❌ Risk of contamination	✅ Very low

DPA (Docosapentaenoic Acid): Seal oil is one of the very few natural sources rich in DPA - a potent omega-3 often missing from fish oil.

Mammal-to-mammal advantage: As seals are marine mammals, their oil is structurally closer to human fat - improving compatibility and digestion.

Triglyceride position: Seal oil’s omega-3s are mainly in the sn-1 and sn-3 positions - optimal for enzymatic absorption.

Arctic purity: Cold waters and minimal pollution make seal oil naturally cleaner and more stable than other marine sources.

Seals are mammals, their fat composition is naturally aligned with human digestion.
Omega-3s in seal oil are more easily absorbed, stored, and utilized by the body.

Seal oil contains not just EPA and DHA, but also DPA, a rare and potent omega-3 with anti-inflammatory benefits.
Together, they form the most complete omega-3 trio for heart, brain, joints, and immune health.
