Formula and Health Benefits

The following health claims are authorised under EU Regulation No 432/2012 and are supported by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

Key Health Benefits

• Cardiovascular Health: Contains EPA and DHA, which contribute to the normal function of the heart (beneficial effect obtained with a daily intake of 250mg of EPA and DHA).
  
  
• Vision & Cognitive Support: Supplies DHA to support the maintenance of normal vision and brain function (beneficial effect obtained with a daily intake of 250mg of DHA). Vitamin A further aids visual acuity.
  
  
• Bone & Teeth Maintenance: Formulated with 10µg of Vitamin D3 to regulate calcium absorption and maintain skeletal strength.
  
  
• Immune System Support: Vitamin D3 supports normal immune responses, while Vitamin E protects cells from oxidative stress.

Bioavailability & Sourcing Insight

Unlike plant-based Omega 3 sources (such as flaxseed and walnuts) which primarily provide Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA), this Marine Cod Liver Oil delivers direct Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). The human body converts ALA to EPA/DHA at a low efficiency rate; marine sourcing bypasses this conversion process for superior biological utilisation. For a highly absorbable vegan omega 3 supplement, try our Vegan Omega 3, DHA and EPA capsules.

Advanced 5-Stage Purification & Purity Standards
To eliminate environmental contaminants inherent to marine ecosystems, this oil undergoes a sophisticated 5-stage purification process that selectively concentrates active fatty acids while removing heavy metals and pollutants.

• Contaminants Screened: While European Commission (EC) regulations mandate testing for only primary contaminants, this oil is extensively screened for environmental toxins (including PCBs, dioxins, and mercury).
  
  
• Regulatory Compliance: Purity levels strictly exceed both EC safety thresholds and the GOED (Global Organisation for EPA and DHA Omega 3) monographs - the global gold standard for marine oil quality.
  
  
• Deodorised Oil: The 5-stage refinement process reduces volatile compounds responsible for fishy odours and aftertaste to improve the experience.

Freshness & Quality Assurance

Oxidation degrades the efficacy of Omega 3 fatty acids. To prevent rancidity and ensure maximum stability:

• Oxidative Stress Protection: Enriched with natural Vitamin E to inhibit lipid peroxidation.
  
  
• Immediate Encapsulation: Oils are encapsulated immediately post-manufacture to minimise atmospheric exposure.
  
  
• UK Manufacturing: Produced entirely in the UK under strict Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards. This eliminates the 6-month international sea freight transit common in bulk-imported alternatives.
  
  
• Sustainable Marine Sourcing: Independently sourced from trusted, well-managed fisheries certified by Friend of the Sea, demonstrating a commitment to ocean conservation and sustainable marine harvesting practices.
  
  
• Optimised Packaging: Supplied in smaller 180-capsule formats rather than 360-count bottles to ensure the product is consumed well within its peak freshness window.
  
  
• Easy-to-Swallow Form: Delivered in softgel capsules rather than tablets to protect the liquid oil matrix from degradation.
