Omega MonoPure 1300 EC 860 mg by XYMOGEN INC.

If you want a one-softgel, high absorption fish oil to nudge a low Omega-3 Index upward, this fits. It’s a smart pick if you rarely eat fatty fish, have trouble tolerating standard oils, or have mild fishy burps with regular capsules. Use it as maintenance if your triglycerides are normal but your Omega-3 Index is low. If your triglycerides are elevated and you’re chasing a 20–30% drop, you’ll usually need higher-dose fish oil (2–4 g/day EPA+DHA) or prescription EPA, then retest in 4 to 12 weeks.

The MaxSimil monoglyceride form in XYMOGEN Omega MonoPure 1300 EC is pre-digested, so your gut doesn’t have to split fats apart before uptake. That improves absorption versus ethyl ester fish oil in small human studies, and the enteric coat helps it pass the stomach to reduce fishy aftertaste. Better uptake means a higher rise in the Omega-3 Index over 8–12 weeks per capsule. EPA and DHA reduce how much fat your liver exports as triglycerides and modestly lower hs-CRP (an inflammation marker) in some responders.

Take one softgel daily, with or without food; the monoglyceride form doesn’t depend on a high-fat meal. If you’re aiming to correct a very low Omega-3 Index, consider two daily for 8–12 weeks, then step down once your lab improves. For triglyceride reduction, most adults need several grams of combined EPA+DHA, so one softgel here is maintenance, not treatment. Recheck your Omega-3 Index and triglycerides after 8–12 weeks to see if your current dose is doing enough.

If you’re allergic to fish, avoid fish oil. Use caution if you’re on blood thinners like warfarin, apixaban, rivaroxaban, or antiplatelets such as clopidogrel, and tell your clinician; bleeding risk is low at this dose but worth a check. Stop high-dose fish oil a week before elective surgery. If you have very high triglycerides, don’t self-treat—discuss prescription EPA or higher-dose fish oil with your clinician, alongside diet, alcohol reduction, and checking labs like fasting insulin and ALT.
