Forever Arctic Sea: Omega-3 Benefits, Ingredients & Full Review

Getting enough omega-3 fatty acids from diet alone is harder than most people think. Even those who eat fish regularly often fall short of the amounts shown in research to support heart, brain, and joint health. Forever Arctic Sea is Forever Living’s solution to that gap, a premium omega-3 supplement that blends fish oil with calamari oil for a more complete fatty acid profile than standard fish oil capsules.

Here’s everything you need to know: what’s in it, why the formula matters, who benefits most, and how to take it effectively.

What Is Forever Arctic Sea?

Forever Arctic Sea is an omega-3 supplement containing a blend of deep-sea fish oil and calamari (squid) oil. The dual-oil formula delivers both EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), the two most researched omega-3 fatty acids, along with oleic acid from olive oil for additional cardiovascular support.

What sets it apart from basic fish oil supplements is the inclusion of calamari oil, which provides a higher concentration of DHA than most fish sources. DHA is particularly critical for brain function and eye health, making the dual-source formula more complete.

Key Ingredients

• Deep-Sea Fish Oil — Sourced from four fish (cod, salmon, anchovy and sardine), rich in both EPA and DHA. EPA is the primary omega-3 for cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory benefits; DHA supports brain and eye health.
• Calamari Oil — Derived from squid, naturally richer in DHA than most fish oils. Calamari is also considered a more sustainable omega-3 source than larger fish species. The DHA-heavy profile makes this oil especially valuable for cognitive and neurological support.
• Oleic Acid (from Olive Oil) — A monounsaturated fatty acid with independent cardiovascular benefits. It helps reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels and supports healthy circulation.
• Vitamin E (Tocopherol) — Added as a natural preservative to protect the oils from oxidation, and as an antioxidant that supports overall cell health.

Per 2-softgel serving, the US Supplement Facts label lists 435 mg of omega-3 fatty acids, including 200 mg EPA and 200 mg DHA, plus 100 mg of oleic acid from olive oil. Natural lemon and lime oils give the softgels a citrus flavor. Contains fish (anchovy, salmon, cod, sardine) and calamari (squid).

Benefits of Forever Arctic Sea

Cardiovascular Health

EPA and DHA are extensively researched for heart health. Regular omega-3 supplementation is associated with lower triglyceride levels, improved blood pressure regulation, reduced inflammation in blood vessel walls, and better overall circulation. The added oleic acid from olive oil further supports healthy cholesterol balance.

Brain Function and Cognitive Support

DHA is one of the primary structural fats in the brain: approximately 60% of the brain’s dry weight is fat, and DHA is the most abundant omega-3 fatty acid in brain tissue. Adequate DHA intake is linked to better memory, focus, mood stability, and reduced cognitive decline with aging.

Joint Comfort and Mobility

EPA has powerful anti-inflammatory properties that directly affect joint tissue. Regular omega-3 supplementation is associated with reduced joint stiffness (particularly in the morning), less joint pain with movement, and improved overall mobility, especially relevant for people with inflammatory joint conditions. Arctic Sea pairs well with Forever Move for broader joint support.

Eye Health

DHA is also a major structural component of the retina. Adequate DHA intake supports retinal function and is associated with reduced risk of age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of vision loss in older adults.

Mood and Emotional Wellbeing

Research consistently links omega-3 deficiency with increased rates of depression and anxiety. EPA in particular appears to play a role in mood regulation: several clinical trials have shown EPA supplementation to be beneficial in supporting mental wellbeing, especially in people with low baseline omega-3 levels.

Who Should Take Forever Arctic Sea?

This supplement is most valuable for:

• People who don’t eat fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines) at least 2–3 times per week
• Adults who want nutritional support for a healthy heart and optimal cognition
• People seeking joint support, particularly those with active lifestyles or inflammatory conditions
• Those looking to support brain health and cognitive function, including older adults
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women — DHA is critical for fetal brain and eye development (consult your doctor first)

How to Take Forever Arctic Sea

1. Standard dose: 2 softgels with meals, three times daily (6 softgels per day), as directed on the US label. A 120-softgel bottle lasts about 20 days at this dose.
2. Timing: Taking each serving with breakfast, lunch and dinner reduces fishy aftertaste and spreads absorption throughout the day.
3. Consistency matters: Omega-3 levels build in the body over several weeks. You won’t feel a dramatic difference overnight. Commit to daily use for at least 8–12 weeks to assess the full effect.
4. Store properly: Keep the bottle away from heat, light, and moisture to prevent the oils from oxidizing. Refrigeration after opening extends freshness.
5. Pair with complementary products: For joint support, combine with Forever Move. For broader daily wellness, it pairs well with Forever Daily multivitamin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Forever Arctic Sea cause fishy burps?

Taking softgels with food significantly reduces this. Splitting the dose between meals and storing the bottle in the refrigerator after opening also helps. The natural lemon and lime oils in the softgels also help mask any fishy taste.

Can I take Forever Arctic Sea if I’m on blood thinners?

Omega-3 fatty acids have mild blood-thinning properties. If you take prescription anticoagulants (like warfarin), consult your doctor before adding omega-3 supplementation to your routine.

How long until I notice the benefits?

Blood levels of EPA and DHA typically reach a meaningful increase within 4–8 weeks of consistent supplementation. Cardiovascular markers (triglycerides, blood pressure) take longer to shift, typically 3+ months.

Is it suitable for vegetarians?

Forever Arctic Sea contains fish and calamari oil, so it is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. Those following plant-based diets should look for algae-based DHA/EPA supplements instead.

How does it work with Forever Move?

They’re complementary: Forever Move addresses joint structure directly (with NEM eggshell membrane and turmeric), while Arctic Sea reduces systemic inflammation that affects joint comfort.

The Bottom Line

Forever Arctic Sea is a well-formulated omega-3 supplement that goes beyond standard fish oil by combining fish and calamari oil for a fuller EPA+DHA profile, plus oleic acid for additional cardiovascular support. For anyone not consistently eating fatty fish (which is most people), it fills a nutritional gap that affects heart, brain, joint, and eye health simultaneously.

At two softgels with each of your three daily meals, it fits easily into a routine, and the benefits build with consistent use.
