THE SCIENCE BEHIND OMEGA-3
Omega-3 is one of the most sensitive types of fats, meaning it can easily degrade in contact with air, light, and heat. And when we talk about a nutrient so important for children, adults, pregnancy, and overall health, the stability of the oil is not a detail, but an essential quality criterion.
This is where the TOTOX score comes in, one of the most important indicators of oxidation. In the industry, values up to 26 are accepted, but Omega-3 Biotiful Life has a TOTOX of only 4, which indicates a very well-protected, fresh, and stable oil.
What this means, specifically:
- a very low level of oxidation
- a better preserved and better protected oil
- a formula where quality does not stop at the label
- more safety for a product intended for daily use
The oxidation profile of Omega-3 Biotiful Life reflects the same attention to detail:
- Peroxide Value (PV): < 0.1
- Anisidine Value (AV): 3.8
- TOTOX: 4
These values make a difference especially in a market where many products fail to maintain a real standard of stability. Independent analyses have shown that numerous Omega-3 supplements exceed recommended oxidation limits, and some of the most vulnerable were even formulas intended for children. That is precisely why, for us, oil protection has been a priority from the beginning.
That's why we chose individual softgel capsules, not liquid oil in a bottle. Each capsule separately protects the oil from repeated contact with air and oxygen, which helps maintain stability over time. And after opening, storing the product in the refrigerator remains an important step to protect its quality.
In addition, the oil is supported by a natural antioxidant system of mixed tocopherols and rosemary extract, and purification by molecular distillation contributes to both purity and a high standard of safety.
Because a good Omega-3 does not just mean containing EPA and DHA, but delivering them in an oil clean, stable, and well-protected enough to truly matter.
