Evergreen rTG Omega-3 Fish Oil | EPA & DHA 1500mg | 180 Capsules
Evergreen rTG Omega-3 Fish Oil is a natural concentrated fish oil from anchovy in the rTG (re-esterified triglyceride) form, providing 1,500 mg of EPA and DHA in every 2-capsule serving. It is made in New Zealand, and Kosbee ships it from our New Jersey warehouse.
EPA and DHA are the two long-chain omega-3 fatty acids found in oily fish. Evergreen concentrates anchovy oil so that each 1,000 mg capsule carries 750 mg of EPA and DHA combined.

rTG vs TG vs EE Fish Oil
Fish oil concentrates come in three common forms: natural triglyceride (TG), ethyl ester (EE), and re-esterified triglyceride (rTG). rTG oil is concentrated and then converted back into the triglyceride structure of natural fish oil. When comparing labels, look at the EPA plus DHA total per serving rather than the fish oil weight: here, 2 g of oil gives 1,500 mg of EPA and DHA.
