OMEGA-3 PHARMA GRADE BENEFITS

Omega-3 APIs are approved for the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia, arteriosclerosis obliterans, and coronary heart disease in various geographies around the world. In addition, Omega-3s are being researched as pharmaceuticals in numerous other conditions, including Mertecs USA's own product for familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).

To meet the exacting demands of the pharmaceutical industry, Mertecs USA produces oil to its proprietary clinical strength standard. The purity of Omega-3 fish oil is not only measured in the concentration of the individual fatty acid, but in several categories that determine overall quality. The Mertecs USA measures purity using a combination of the following parameters:

  • Concentration of individual fatty acids, such as EPA, DHA, DPA
  • Concentrations of minor fatty acids down to levels less than 0.1%
  • Contaminate levels such as heavy metals, PCB's or pesticides
  • Product oxidation
  • Polymer content

In order for a Mertecs USA oil to be considered clinical strength it needs to achieve a high level of standard in each parameter. The best experience in separation technology has provided Mertecs USA with the knowledge necessary to ensure batch-to-batch consistency. The clinical strength standard is what has made Mertecs USA the largest manufacturer of Omega-3 APIs in the world.
