Freshfield made a decision most brands dodge: it is a DHA product, full stop. Each softgel carries about 225mg of DHA plus a little DPA, and almost no EPA. That is not a flaw as long as you know what you are buying. It is a flaw only if you thought you were getting a full-spectrum omega-3 and you were not.
The DPA angle
The small dose of DPA is the interesting part. DPA is the third, less-talked-about omega-3, and early research suggests it may help the body use and convert the others. Freshfield leans on this as an absorption story. It is plausible and worth a nod, but do not treat it as a substitute for EPA. It is not.
The packaging is the real headline
Freshfield goes further on sustainability than anyone else here: a compostable bottle, carbon-neutral operations, and plastic-negative claims. If the environmental footprint of your supplement bothers you, this is the bottle that takes it seriously. For a product literally sold as the cleaner alternative to fishing the oceans, that consistency counts.
Who should buy it
Buy it if you specifically want DHA, for brain, eye, or pregnancy support, and you want the greenest packaging. Do not buy it if you want EPA too. For a real EPA and DHA split, go to Nordic Naturals or Sports Research.
