Because purity matters a great deal
Metagenics continues to lead the industry in the development of essential fatty acid formulas to meet individual needs. Our exclusive Purity Guarantee means reliability you can trust.
We start with the finest sourcing material available. Our highly experienced QA/QC team employs stringent handling guidelines and the most advanced laboratory technology to ensure the highest quality. Third-party assays, along with our additional internal testing procedures, help protect users from harmful contaminants.
Omega-3 Formulas. OmegaGenics omega-3 formulas provide you with a higher degree of reliability and predicted safety.* Metagenics uses the highest quality omega-3s from a leading Norwegian pharmaceutical-licensed facility. These fish oils undergo a proprietary refinement process to remove heavy metals and other environmental pollutants . An advanced molecular distillation process of every batch ensures the highest purity and batch consistency.
The exceptional manufacturing and purification technology for our fish oils exceeds the highest quality standards—including the rigorous standards of the International Pharmacopoeia. It also far exceeds the quality criteria for the Council for Responsible Nutrition’s Omega-3 Monograph (the industry’s current voluntary standard for purity).
And every batch of our fish oil formulas is assayed by Eurofins, one of the top independent testing labs in the world. Eurofins assays are considered the gold standard of quality, checking for numerous contaminants, including:
- 220 pesticides
- 6 heavy metals
- 7 markers of polychlorinated biphenols (PCBs)
- 15 dioxins & furans
- 12 dioxin-like PCBs
As and added layer of purity protection, we also conduct in-house testing for yeasts, molds, and harmful bacteria. (Other in-house assessments include tests to verify omega-3 content, softgel disintegration time, and product shelf stability.)
Omega-6 Formulas. OmegaGenics omega-6 formulas are held to similar quality standards and offer the same Purity Guarantee backed by independent assays and rigorous internal testing for potential contaminants, such as pyrrolizidine alkaloids, bacteari, yeast, and molds. (Other in-house assessments include tests to verify omega-6 content, softgel disintegration time, and product shelf stability.)
Quality
Is there something "fishy" about your fish oil?
Not all omega-3 (e.g., EPA , DHA ) formulas offer the same health support or quality—or meet label claims for active ingredients. And there are often health and safety reasons behind your doctor's recommendations for a specific fish oil supplement.
Before you consider shopping on your own, discover some important revelations below. And learn even more about essential fatty acids in our FAQs section.
| Danger |
OmegaGenics Advantage |
Contamination
Some fish oil products may contain excessive levels of harmful toxins , such as heavy metals (e.g., mercury) and polychlorinated biphenols (PCBs). Furthermore, any supplement may be subject to potentially harmful bacteria (e.g., salmonella), yeast, and mold that can compromise product integrity. |
Purity Guaranteed
OmegaGenics fish oil formulas are produced in Norwegian pharmaceutical-licensed facilities and third-party tested for over 250 contaminants. We also run additional in-house tests for common bacteria, yeast, and mold, as well as additional testing for shelf stability. |
Rancidity
Fish oil is unstable and can quickly become spoiled and oxidized. Some companies may not test adequately for rancidity in production or take extra steps to protect the product during storage, transport, and normal use. |
Antioxidant-Stabilized
OmegaGenics fish oil formulas are third-party tested for rancidity and fortified with antioxidants (e.g., natural tocopherols, rosemary) to maintain freshness. |
Low Potency
Some products from other companies may not actually contain the amount of omega-3s listed on labels. That means the product may not offer the benefits you expect. Or the value you deserve. |
Concentrated Omega-3s
OmegaGenics formulas are tested in-house and by a third-party to ensure omega-3 content meets or exceeds label claim. For reliable dosing in every bottle every time. That’s value you can depend on. |
Fishy Aftertaste
Omega-3s made from fish oil don’t have to taste (or smell) like fish to work well. |
No "Fishy" Taste!
OmegaGenics formulas begin with cleaner oils, which have a cleaner taste. And natural fruit flavors make them taste even better. We also offer enteric-coated options to help protect against burp-up in susceptible individuals. |
Unspecified Applications
Some fish oil products may offer a one-size-fits-all approach. Who is the intended audience? Is it designed to support an area of health that may benefit from a concentrated EPA or DHA approach instead? With some products, it may be difficult to determine ideal use.* |
