Having a healthy lifestyle begins with taking part in regular physical exercise and maintaining a varied and balanced diet. This diet will be unique to each of us but should see a mix of fruits, vegetables, cereals, proteins and fats.

In addition, a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA helps to maintain normal brain function and vision.
Finally, we take great care and responsibility in selecting our ingredients and suppliers.

What are the key ingredients in Marine Omega?
Each daily dose of Marine Omega provides 200 mg of krill oil, extracted exclusively from Euphausia superba, an Antarctic krill zooplankton where the long chain omega-3s, EPA and DHA, occur in a phospholipid form. The distinctive red colour of krill oil comes from astaxanthin. In addition, Marine Omega also contains the additive tocopherol-rich extract added as an antioxidant to prevent the oxidation of the fish oil and by this to maintain its long-term stability.
What are EPA and DHA?
The main long chains of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in your diet are ALA (alpha-linoleic acid), EPA and DHA. Fish is a uniquely rich source of long chain omega-3 fatty acids. Other natural sources are human milk, cultivated marine algae, marine mammals and krill. EPA and DHA may also be provided by foods and food supplements as a supplement to the normal diet.
The long chain omega-3s EPA and DHA play an important role for heart health. DHA plays a role in the normal brain function.
What is the difference between Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids?
Our way of eating and general intake of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids have changed over the last decades.
While the intake of Omega-6 fatty acids has increased (due to greater intake of processed and fast food), Omega-3
fatty acids intake tends to be less. The primary sources of Omega-3 are fatty fishes: salmon, tuna, sardine, etc. It
means that increasing our consumption of foods rich in Omega-3 would be beneficial to most diets.
What is the source of Omega-3 fatty acids in Marine Omega?
Marine Omega provides good quality Omega-3 fatty acids from fish and krill oil. The fish oil is primary derived from anchovies and sardines. Krill oil is derived from Euphausia superba, which are small shrimp- or prawn-like crustaceans.
Having fish oils in the product, is there a risk concerning the safety and deterioration of the soft gels?
Marine Omega contains the additive tocopherol-rich extract (E306), which is an antioxidant that protects the product from oxidation of fatty acids, such as fat rancidity and colour changes.
