How we produce the best fish oil money can buy….

You cannot make omega-3 in your body. Yet it’s essential you can’t live without it. The only way is to get it from diet. The richest source of this is from the oceans and from the fish.

There cannot be life without the omega-3 found in fish oil. It is essential,

yet your body cannot make it. 

Yet, given the toxic load of the oceans, you’re better off not taking it unless it’s pure.

We need to make the oil refined and then we need to purify it from all the toxicities found in the oceans today.

It is very difficult, complicated … and costly.

It’s a very sensitive molecule, making it very difficult.

At Epax Norway AS, a subsidiary of Pelagia AS, we craft the world’s finest fish oil omega-3 ingredients through a meticulous and innovative production process. Our premium, highly concentrated marine oils are trusted by leading omega-3 brands globally, thanks to our commitment to quality, purity, and preservation of vital nutrients like EPA and DHA.

Refining fish oil is a complex challenge due to the delicate nature of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which are highly susceptible to oxidation and contamination. Crude fish oil naturally contains impurities such as phospholipids, free fatty acids, water, pigments, environmental contaminants, and persistent organic pollutants (POPs). To deliver a safe, high-quality product, we employ a multi-stage refining process—degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization—each carefully optimized to remove specific contaminants while safeguarding the nutritional integrity of the oil.

Removing the toxins in fish is even more difficult.

Our process begins with degumming, where we use advanced enzymatic techniques to eliminate phospholipids, ensuring a cleaner starting material without compromising the oil’s quality. Next, during neutralization, we remove free fatty acids that could affect flavor and stability. The bleaching stage targets pigments and trace contaminants, enhancing clarity and purity. Finally, deodorization employs gentle physical distillation to remove odors and volatile impurities, preserving the oil’s fresh taste and nutritional value.

To protect the sensitive omega-3 fatty acids from thermal degradation, we minimize high-temperature exposure throughout the process. Our state-of-the-art technologies, including low-temperature enzymatic degumming and advanced distillation methods, ensure maximum contaminant removal while retaining essential micronutrients. This careful balance prevents oxidation, maintains vibrant color, and delivers a product with exceptional flavor and nutritional quality.

Few companies in the world can do it. You’re dealing with one of them.

By combining cutting-edge science with rigorous quality control, Epax produces fish oil that meets the highest global standards, empowering our partners to offer consumers the best omega-3 supplements money can buy.
