Where do the Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Optimum Omega come from?
A. The marine lipid concentrate in Optimum Omega is a mixture of four fishes – sardines, salmon, mackerel, and anchovies. 1. The bulk marine lipids is refined to remove the free fatty acids. 2. The lipids undergo a procedure to remove the stearine and other solid particles. 3. The lipids undergo another procedure to remove toxins, heavy metals, and other unwanted particles. 4. The lipids undergo bleaching, by using natural bleaching earth. 5. The lipids undergo deodorisation to make them smell less “fishy”. Some heat is used during the processing of the marine lipid concentrate. The processing requires a balance of procedures that standardises the amount of omega-3s in the final product, and removes all unwanted particles. However, the end-product is guaranteed to contain the label amount of omega-3 fatty acids.
