Description
Fish Oil Product Overview
Fish oil is obtained mainly from small oily fish such as anchovy, sardine and mackerel. Crude oil is refined, deodorized and molecularly distilled to remove contaminants such as heavy metals, PCBs and dioxins, and can then be concentrated to raise the content of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). The result is a clear, pale yellow oil, usually stabilized with mixed tocopherols.
In addition, concentrates are available in two main chemical forms: natural triglycerides (TG) and ethyl esters (EE), which are often re-esterified into TG for nutritional products. Producers of nutritional products and pharmaceutical companies also use them in softgel capsules and emulsions, and food producers use them for omega-3 fortification. Regulations in each market govern the claims allowed.
Because omega-3 oils oxidize easily, quality is monitored through peroxide value, anisidine value and TOTOX. Other omega-6-rich oils in our range also include Evening Primrose Oil and Borage Oil, and ingredients often combined with fish oil include Coenzyme Q10.
Key Applications of Fish Oil

⚠️ Safety & Handling: Not classified as hazardous under GHS. Contains fish allergen, which requires declaration on finished products. Store in full, tightly closed containers under nitrogen in a cool, dark place, as the oil oxidizes easily; once opened, use promptly, so that the material stays in good condition. Always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS), because it contains the full classification and handling instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between TG and EE fish oil?
TG oils have the natural triglyceride structure; EE oils are ethyl esters made during concentration. Re-esterified TG combines high concentration with the natural form.
How do you control oxidation?
Each lot undergoes testing for peroxide value, anisidine value as well as TOTOX, and the oil remains stabilized with tocopherols and packed under nitrogen.
How can I get a price and documents?
Prices depend on quantity, packaging and destination, so please contact us with your required volume. We then send a quotation together with the CoA and SDS.
