    Omega Oils

    Our Product Range of Natural and Sustainable Omega-3 Fish Oils with a Superior Sensory Profile

    BASF’s omega-3 fish oils have an exceptional sensory profile and superior purity. Our award-winning Omega Oil TG products provide consumers with the cleanest form of nutrients. Omega-3 is supported by excellent scientific evidence for many health concerns along all life stages. Under our brand Newtrition® we provide health ingredients that contribute to a long, healthy and active life. With more than 150 years experience, we are one of the key industry partner for solutions in the dietary supplements, food, infant nutrition and beverage market.

    In some societies, our modern diets have reduced consumption of fish severely. Recent surveys reveal low intakes of the beneficial omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA in many countries and population groups around the world. Supplements can improve the supply of omega-3 for healthier living by compensating for this reduced intake.
     

    Source of omega-3 fatty acids

    The omega-3s eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (EPA and DHA) have been a part of cells and organisms for millions of years. EPA and DHA are long-chain poly-unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids abundant in seafood and other marine products such as oils from fish, krill and algae. Humans can only synthesize these fatty acids at a slow rate.

    Health Benefits

    Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to our health, since they play a major role in the development of cognitive functions and in health maintenance. Well-documented research supports benefits of EPA and DHA in heart, brain and cognitive health, and in pre-natal brain and eye development. Scientific evidence supports benefits from omega-3 consumption throughout all life stages, for pregnant women, children, adults and the elderly.

    EPA and DHA have also been shown to support the prevention of liver diseases and thus help to improve the quality of life. Consumers are well aware of the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids and the need to increase the intake of omega-3s for a balanced diet.
