Q: Why OmaxPure ® is known as pharmaceutical grade omega-3 fish oil?2023-04-11T08:53:55+00:00

A: OmaxPure ® is purest form of fish oil containing ultra-concentrated (90%) omega-3 in re-esterifed (rTG) form. It gives a clinical proven high dosage & highly bioavailable omega-3 with fewer number of softgels. To reach this unprecedented concentration, the state-of-the-art three-layer purification technology that includes the most advanced supercritical CO2 extraction and supercritical CO2 chromatography are employed. This unique process also effectively removes all heavy metals, dioxins, furans, PCBs and other contaminants. This premium grade, odourless and burpless omega-3 fish oil surpasses all the stringent standards set by GOED. Attributed to all these unique features, OmaxPure ® is identified as a pharmaceutical grade fish oil, making it as one of the most potent fish oils available in the market.

Q: What is so unique about re-esterified triglyceride form of omega-3?2023-04-11T08:54:42+00:00

A: Omega-3 in fish oil can exist in any of these 3 forms: unconcentrated natural triglyceride (TG), concentrated ethyl ester (EE) and concentrated re-esterified triglyceride (rTG) forms. rTG concentrate provides up to 90% of omega-3 and EE concentrate typically contains 50 to 70% omega-3. With this higher concentration, it effectively delivers higher dosage of omega-3 into body cells with a smaller volume of fish oil.

As rTG omega-3 is identical to natural triglyceride form, it can be tolerated, absorbed and utilised more easily by human body with virtually no gastrointestinal side effect, as compared to omega-3 in EE form. A recent study has shown that bioavailability of omega-3 in rTG form is 70% higher than ethyl esters form and 24% more superior than the natural triglyceride form in unprocessed fish oil. Omega-3 in rTG form is also more stable and oxidises less easily than EE form. Fish oil contains DHA in EE form was found to decay 33% more rapidly than omega-3 fish oil in triglyceride form. Although rTG form is better than EE form, majority of concentrated omega-3 fish oils are offered in the EE form as it is more costly to re-esterify ethyl ester fish oil back to rTG form.

Q: How is Supercritical CO2 extraction technology superior?2023-04-11T08:55:09+00:00

A: Supercritical CO2 extraction is an advanced and fairly new purification and concentration technology. This technology boosts the quality of fish oil, guaranteeing highly pure, fresh, concentrated and cholesterol-free fish oil. Removing heavy metal and other contaminants, this technology applies 350% lesser heat to the fish oil as compared to molecular distillation, which is a technique commonly used to purify and concentrate fish oil. As omega-3 EPA and DHA are highly sensitive to temperature, the use of low temperature is crucial to prevent oxidation and degradation of omega-3. Since Supercritical CO2 extraction does not involve the use of toxic solvents, and because CO2 can be recycled, this technology is highly sustainable with no risk of residual chemicals in the fish oil. Going beyond supercritical CO2 extraction, OmaxPure ® Omega-3 Fish oil is processed via an unrivalld three-layer purification process, which also includes urea complexation and supercritical CO2 chromatography, which makes it as one of the most concentrated, purest, most potent and cholesterol-free fish oils available in the market.

Q: What is so unique about OmaxFresh ® Encapsulation Technology?2023-04-11T08:56:02+00:00

A: OmaxPure ® capsule is fortified with a patented, plant-based, GRAS-certified ingredient that does not harden over time. This allows for optimal release into the intestines, maximal absorption into the body cells and a stable shelf life. The potency and safety of omega-3 fish oil is assured through the shelf life of the product.

Most fish oil supplements in the market are encapsulated using a gelatin capsule which hardens over time. This would affect the release of fish oil in the intestines, resulting in lower absorption and bioavailability of fish oil. Some fish oils additionally include enteric coating to mask a fishy aftertaste or fishy burps. Enteric-coated formulations incorporate different chemical additives, which could lead compromised digestion and prolonged absorption in the small intestines, thereby resulting in poor bioavailability. However, pure, fresh and unoxidised fish oils like OmaxPure ® does not give a fishy aftertaste or fish burps. Hence, it certainly does not require an enteric coating to mask any fishy taste or burps.

Q: Which fish sources does OmaxPure ® Omega-3 Fish Oil come from?2023-04-11T08:56:47+00:00

A: OmaxPure ® Omega-3 Fish Oil is primarily sourced from sustainable small fish – sardines, anchovy and mackerel. Since small fish are lower on the food chain, these fish naturally have a much lower concentration of contaminants compared to bigger fish. Hence, it is preferable to consume fish oil extracted from smaller fish.

Q: Can I check the quality of my fish oil?2023-04-11T08:57:24+00:00

A: The fish oil freezer test is a simple way to evaluate the quality of fish oil. In this test, simply leave the fish oil in the freezer until it is frozen. If the fish oil contain a lot of saturated fat and very little omega-3, it would solidify and give an opaque appearance. On the other hand, fish oils with ultrahigh concentrations of omega-3, such as OmaxPure ® Omega-3 Fish Oil would remain see-through even when it is frozen. This is because omega-3 fats have extremely low freezing points, they do not solidify easily.

Q: What are the benefits of taking OmaxPure ® Omega-3 Fish Oil?2023-04-11T08:58:28+00:00

A: Our modern diet contains too much omega-6 fatty acids (such as corn oil, soya bean oil), but too little omega-3 fatty acids. The ideal omega-3s to omega-6s ratio is 1 : 1, but this ratio can go up to 1 : 20 and more. Hence, replenishment of omega-3s with high concentration OmaxPure ® Omega-3 Fish Oil is crucial to restore this healthy ratio. Each omega-3 fatty acids (i.e. DHA, EPA and DPA) may individually offer important benefits, but our omega-3 metabolism relies on having all 3 present for the best results. DHA is crucial for healthy cell membrane structure, as well as normal growth and development. It is vital for the functional development of infant brain and maintenance of normal brain function in adults. Sufficient DHA in the diet improves learning ability, while a deficiency is associated with learning disabilities. Hence, OmaxPure ® is suitable for children, teenagers, adults and elderly. EPA is important for blood circulation. Hence, OmaxPure ® is suitable for those experiencing constant fatigue. Both DHA and EPA together provide a number of important health benefits throughout our lifetime. DPA (docosapentaenoic acid) is the third most prevalent omega-3 fatty acid found in fish oil. Although it typically occurs in a much lower concentrations than DHA and EPA, it is recognised as being more “powerful” than DHA and EPA. DPA plays a prominent role in overall wellness. Studies have shown that it may be able to support healthy cardiovascular system, eye and lipid profile.
