About the ingredients
Herring oil: One of the most abundant species in the world and ours is fished sustainably in the cold clean waters off Iceland. Herring is a particularly rich source of DHA, EPA and Erucic Acid a long chained monounsaturated fatty acid, which in laboratory tests has been found to demonstrate a reduction in artherosclerotic lesions.
EVVO: The Extra Virgin Olive Oil contain high levels of polyphenols, antioxidants. The antioxidants also protects the omega-3s from oxidizing.
Fish Oil Concentrate: High DHA concentrate on triglyceride (TG) basis made from fish oil. The specification is a min 60% TG product with 3.0 – 4.0 mg/g of mixed tocopherols added.
The Mixture: When the fish oils are refined, their natural antioxidants are destroyed leaving the Omega-3s vulnerable. And once ingested most of these Omega-3s will oxidise with no antioxidants to protect them.
By adding EVVO to the Herring Oil, powerful antioxidants, polyphenols, protects the precious omega-3 fatty accids.
In order to provide our recommended 1 g of Omega 3 fatty acids per day – a high quality concentrated omega-3 fish oil has been added.
