True Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil
Whether you choose a Oceana fish oil that is minimally
processed, highly refined or molecularly distilled, you are
assured the highest pharmaceutical quality. Manufactured in a
pharmaceutically licensed production facility according to
pharmaceutical production protocols, the raw material that we use
to produce Oceana fish oil is carefully selected and is fully
traceable. Following production, our oils are tested and certified
to be free of environmental contaminants. We offer you the purest
natural and molecularly distilled pharmaceutical grade fish oils
available.
Oceana Fish Oil
Oceana Fish Oil represents a breakthrough in fish oil
supplementation. These purified oils have virtually no fish odor
or aftertaste. Oceana can be pleasantly flavored with natural
lemon. With the inclusion of our proprietary antioxidant blend,
the product's stability is increased by 300%. Marine Nutriceutical
Corporation is committed to standards beyond cGMP with special
focuses on raw material selection, handling and processing.
Our raw material selection process is rigorous to the extent
that nearly 95% of available material is unsuitable for processing
as natural Oceana Fish Oil. Raw material is carefully handled.
Time and oxygen will make even the best fish oil rancid; combating
this problem, Marine Nutriceutical Corporation developed an
antioxidant blend (consisting of rosemary extract, ascorbyl
palmitate and mixed tocopherols) that assures the product's
quality. Using state-of-the-art equipment, Oceana is processed in
Norway on a pristine fjord. The oil is perfected by a highly
trained team of professionals. Every batch of Oceana Fish Oil is
extensively tested to be free from harmful environmental
contaminants such as mercury, lead, arsenic, pesticides, PCB's and
dioxins. To further confirm the product purity, anisidine and
peroxide values are tested; this foretells possible problems with
taste or odor. Our company maintains exacting protocols with
redundant failsafe measures to assure uniformly pure products.
Oceana Molecularly Distilled Fish Oil Concentrates
Molecular distillation produces oil that is free from
environmental contaminants, PCB's, toxins and heavy metals.
Molecularly distilled fish oils have no rancid fish odor or taste.
The distinguishing factor of molecular distillation is the ability
to create concentrates and customized fatty acid profiles. By
using this process, we can concentrate fatty acids from their
natural state of approximately 30% EPA and DHA combined to as high
as 80% DHA and EPA. Molecular distillation of natural oil results
in levels of purity beyond that which can be achieved by other
methods. Some of the other benefits to using concentrates are
shown in the chart below:

An accelerated oxidation test subjects the oil to conditions
far more severe than will ever be encountered under any normal
conditions in order to keep the testing time reasonable.
Extrapolating to normal storage conditions of 20º C, an unopened
bottle should last 24 months. After opening, the bottle should be
refrigerated and used within eight weeks. |
