Physio Omega by PhysioTru sets itself apart by including not just EPA and DHA, but also DPA (docosapentaenoic acid), a lesser-known omega-3 fatty acid that the brand refers to as the “missing link” between EPA and DHA. The formula uses oil extracted from wild-caught Menhaden fish. The triglyceride-based structure of the oil is promoted as being closer to the form naturally found in fish, which may support better absorption and bioavailability.
The intended benefits of Physio Omega are similar to those of any omega-3 supplement. The product aims to support cardiovascular function, healthy triglyceride levels, brain performance, joint flexibility, and visual clarity. The addition of DPA is promoted as enhancing the body’s overall omega-3 utilization, but results may vary. Most users can expect the standard benefits of EPA and DHA supplementation, though the moderate dosage limits its potency for those with higher wellness or therapeutic needs.
Recommended use is two softgels daily, preferably taken with food. The capsules are moderate in size and reported to be easy to swallow. While many users experience minimal aftertaste, taking them without food or with warm beverages may increase the chance of fishy burps, as with any fish-oil supplement.
Physio Omega uses a subtle citrus essence and purified oil to minimize the typical fish-oil smell and taste. The “burpless” claim holds true for most users, but a small number may still notice light fishy notes depending on digestion.
Physio Omega is positioned as a higher-end supplement, emphasizing the addition of DPA. While it presents a complete omega profile, the total omega-3 concentration per serving is relatively low, which can make the cost per mg less competitive. This higher price point may not fully offset its milder formulation compared to leading high-strength formulas that offer similar or even more benefits.
