Bio-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 Omega 3 content is predominantly 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 predominantly 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-Marin 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.

Why free fatty acids?
Fish oil must first be converted into free fatty acids before is absorbable. This conversion results in some loss of fatty acids. When you take fish oil as free fatty acids, you get 50% better absorbtion. 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.
