Norway-sourced, concentrated and pollutant free

DUE to increasing consumer awareness about the health risk-associated with high-fat and high-cholesterol foods as well as products high in sugar and salt, Opceden is responding to the rapidly growing demand for pure and highly concentrated omega-3 by providing an added nutritional formulation on healthy ageing throughout life.

As a result, Opceden Omega-3 Fish Oil TG 500/200 fish oils are now available.

The marine omega-3 essential fatty acids offer health benefits. Marine sources of omega-3 are particularly important because omega-3 fish oil comprises polyunsaturated, essential fatty acids that cannot be synthesised by the human body and must be obtained from food or supplements.

EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are the two key essential fatty acids in omega-3.

Studies have shown that EPA and DHA are important for proper health maintenance and immune function. EPA and DHA may affect many aspects of body functions.

Opeceden Omega-3 Fish Oil TG 500/200 is in the triglyceride (TG) form. Most fish oil supplements in the market are available in ethyl ester form or TG form.

Structurally, the major difference between the two forms is that in ethyl ester, the fatty acids (EPA and DHA) are esterified to an ethanol backbone, while in the TG form, the fatty acids are esterified to a glycerol alcohol backbone.

Opeceden Omega-3 Fish Oil TG 500/200 provides omega-3 essential fatty acids in the triglyceride form.

Typically, fats in most food sources are found in their natural TG form. TGs are generally associated with standard fish body or fish liver oil.

These fats comprise three fatty acids (such as omega-3 EPA and DHA) linked to a molecule of glycerol.

Without glycerol, free fatty acids can oxidise rapidly. Therefore, the glycerol backbone helps to naturally stabilise the fat molecules and prevent breakdown and oxidation.

To digest fatty acids in our diet, we need pancreatic lipase (enzyme). Studies have found that lipase hydrolyses the TG form 10 to 50 times faster and ensures that absorption into the body is optimised.
