Description

Fish Oil is a natural oil derived from the tissues of oily fish, primarily valued for its high concentration of long-chain ω-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). This composition makes it a critical raw material for supporting cardiovascular, neurological, and anti-inflammatory health. It is an essential ingredient for manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and animal feed industries seeking to enhance product functionality and health benefits.

Application

• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Primary source for ω-3 capsules, softgels, and liquid formulations aimed at heart, brain, and joint health.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the production of prescription-grade ω-3 concentrates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for treating hypertriglyceridemia.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: Enrichment of products such as dairy items, baked goods, and juices with essential fatty acids.
• Aquaculture & Animal Feed: Vital component in feed for farmed fish, poultry, and pets to improve growth, development, and overall health.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into skincare formulations for its moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Industrial Applications: Used in the manufacture of lubricants, leather tanning, and as a source for biodiesel production.

Quality Control

Our Fish Oil is produced and tested under strict quality management systems to ensure purity, potency, and safety for its intended application. We offer various grades, including refined, food, and pharmaceutical grades, with specifications covering key parameters such as peroxide value, anisidine value, and heavy metal content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting compliance with relevant standards like USP, FCC, and EP are available upon request to support your regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). For long-term stability, storage under an inert atmosphere (nitrogen) is recommended to prevent oxidation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
