Competence in OMEGA-3 ingredients

We have a strong focus on eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) omega-3, based on raw materials from sustainable sources. They're processed using the latest technology to remove odour and taste, as well as heavy metals and other impurities.

Due to their effectiveness, marine omega-3 products are in high demand. While omega-3 fatty acids in plants (alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)) are converted inefficiently by the human body into useful EPA and DHA, ocean sources provide these important fatty acids directly.

Proven capability and technical support

Once the revised EU labelling directive has been implemented, products containing EPA and DHA are expected to be able to claim effective health benefits. Our MARIS OMEGA-3 ingredients have proven their capability in a wide range of products.

We offer a wide range of MARIS OMEGA-3 products. We also provide targeted, specialised technical support, enabling omega-3 projects within the food industry to become reality.
