    Ingredients
    Fish Oil Fatty Acids (free form), gelatin, glycerol, silicon dioxide, purified water, ammoniated caramel, pteroylmonoglutamic acid, cyanocobalamin.

    Why free fatty acids?
    Fish oil must first be converted into free fatty acids before it is absorbable. This conversion results in some loss of fatty acids. When you take fish oil as free fatty acids, you get 50% better absorption. This allows you to achieve the same effect with less capsules.

    Good for heart and blood vessels, for a healthy cholesterol level, and flexible joints.

    Storage
    Dark, dry and at room temperature. Keep out of reach of young children.

    What is Bio-Marine Plus?

    Bio-Marine capsulesBio-Marine Plus are soft gelatin capsules each containing 500 mg of fish oil including 190 mg EPA, 110 mg DHA and 50 mg Omega-3 fatty acids. The fish oil is in the form of easily absorbed free fatty acids. The fish oil is concentrated, so you get a fairly large amount of Omega-3 in a relatively small capsule. The fish oil is highly refined, meaning it is cleaned in a special process and is far below regulatory limits for pollution. Bio-Marine Plus is capsulated in an oxygen-free environment and has an extremely low peroxide value, as the oil is effectively protected against oxidation. Two homocysteine lowering B vitamins, folic acid and vitamin B12, are added to Bio-Marine Plus.

    Free fatty acids in Bio-Marine Plus

    In nature, Omega-3 fatty acids occur as triglycerides that must be decomposed and broken down into “free” fatty acids before the digestive tract is able to absorb them. This process is enabled by a digestive enzyme called lipase. Bio-Marine Plus contains Omega-3 in the form of free fatty acids that have already been broken down and are ready for absorbtion. The advantage with this type of Omega-3 fatty acids is that they can be absorbed directly even by individuals with impaired lipid absorption.

    As a natural consequence of the fact that the oil comes as free fatty acids, it can cause a burning sensation on the tongue if you chew the capsule. It is therefore recommended to swallow the capsule whole. The free fatty acids and the added B vitamins may also result in odor from the oil in spite of the fact that the oil is fresh and clean.

    Bio-Marine Plus is a good supplement for those who for various reasons do not eat fish in amounts recommended by health authorities and for those who need an extra clean and easily absorbed fish oil.

    What does ”Plus” stand for?

    Besides Omega-3 fatty acids Bio-Marine Plus contains folic acid and vitamin B12. Both vitamins support the Omega-3 fatty acids in contributing to a normal homocysteine metabolism. Also, folic acid contributes to a normal immune system, psychological function and blood formation. Furthermore, folic acid has a role in the process of cell division and support to normal fetal tissue growth during pregnancy.

    What are omega-3 fatty acids?

    Illustration of a fishOmega-3 fatty acids is a group of essential, polyunsaturated fatty acids that are primarily found in fish, namely oily fish like herring, salmon, and mackerel. The two most important Omega-3 fatty acids are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

    Way back in the late 1970’s two Danish doctors, Bang and Dyerberg, demonstrated why Greenland Eskimos, because of their large consumption of fish and sea mammals, generally had better health than the Danish population*. If you don’t eat fish it may be an advantage to take a supplement of Omega-3 fatty acids to ensure a sufficient intake of these beneficial compounds. In fact, it is ideal if a diet provides the right balance between Omega-3 and Omega-6 (a group of fatty acids found in plants). Experts believe it is ideal to ingest Omega-3 and Omega-6 in a 1:4 ratio.

    Good for heart, brain, and eyesight

    EPA and DHA have several positive benefits. For instance, a 200 mg per day intake of DHA contributes to normal development of the brain, and eyes of the foetus and breastfed infants. In adults, 250 mg of DHA each day contributes to the maintenance of normal brain and vision. In addition, 250 mg of DHA and EPA per day contributes to normal function of the heart.

    The mentioned levels correspond with 2 (200mg) and 3 (250mg) Bio-Marine capsules daily.

    Highly refined oil ensures optimal purity

    The fish oil in Bio-Marine Plus is highly refined in order to have a very high level of purity which means that the oil has undergone a three-step refining process, where the oil is thoroughly cleaned. One of the world’s leading technologies is used for screening and removal of unwanted particles like pesticides, heavy metals, furans (highly toxic waste particles from industrial burning) etc. This means that the content of several of these compounds is far below the official threshold levels approved for fish and fish oil products.
     

    The refining process ensures among other things, that:
     

    • The maximal content of dioxin and furans is lower than 50% of the threshold levels set by EU and CRN*
    • The maximal content of PCB is at least 90% lower than the threshold levels set by CRN*
    • The maximal content of mercury is at least 90% lower than the threshold levels set by CRN*


    *) CRN stands for Council for Responsible Nutrition and is a large and widely respected American branch organization for manufacturers of food supplements in the United States.

    Bio-Marine Plus – highlights

    • A Finnish study that was published in a scientific journal* which demonstrated that people, who consumed Bio-Marine daily had the same health benefit as those who ate a fish meal four to five times per week.
    • Bio-Marine Plus contains 500 mg of concentrated fish oil in each capsule with an Omega-3 content of 70% (35% EPA and 25% DHA)
    • Bio-Marine Plus is capsulated in an oxygen-free environment and has an extremely low peroxide count due to the fact that the oil is effectively protected against oxidation (rancidity)
