Omega-3 from fish oil and Antarctic krill
MarineOmega combines concentrated fish oil with a lipid extract from Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba). It provides EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), two long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. It may be of interest if you seldom eat oily fish and want a clearly stated daily intake of EPA and DHA.
The daily serving of two softgels provides over 700 mg of EPA and 500 mg of DHA. A pack of 60 softgels provides 30 daily servings. Check the information on the pack you receive before use.
What does IFOS certification mean?
MarineOmega from Nu Skin Products Europe BV appears in the official Nutrasource IFOS product register. IFOS stands for International Fish Oil Standards. Its independent testing examines whether the product contains the stated omega-3 ingredients, checks selected contaminants, and assesses the oil’s stability, including oxidation.
The register lets you check the product’s certification and look for any available report for a particular batch or lot. A listing does not by itself establish the results for the pack in your hand: compare its lot number with a published report if you need batch-specific information. Quality certification is not evidence that a food supplement treats or prevents disease.
EPA and DHA: recognised health claims
The following health claims are authorised subject to their conditions of use:
- EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA.
- DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA.
- DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA.
The 250 mg figures describe the daily intakes associated with these claims, not the amount in a single softgel. The recommended daily serving of MarineOmega provides over 700 mg EPA and 500 mg DHA.

If you already use another omega-3 product, check your combined EPA and DHA intake.
