To support its claim that Vectomega is “Fresher than Fish Oil”, EuroPharma, Green Bay, WI,initiated an independent lab analysis comparing its phospholipid complex omega 3 with five of the nation’s leading brands of fish and krill oil. The test aimed to contrast the oxidation and rancidity levels between fish oil, krill oil and Vectomega, and found that the leading brands of fish and krill oils did in fact have some levels of rancidity. Testing was performed according to the International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS). The total oxidative value, known as the TOTOX value, was calculated using samples of leading brands purchased off stores shelves well before their expiration date. High TOTOX values can lead to oxidative stress inside the body, resulting in inflammation and tissue damage, especially when used for long periods of time. These symptoms can lead to increased risk of free radical damage to the heart, brain and other physiological systems.
For consumers concerned about the freshness of their omega 3, Vectomega provides a valuable alternative since its phospholipids are a more stable carrier for omega 3 than are oils.Vectomega is produced utilizing a patented process called vectorization, which was developed by the French government and leading lipid researchers at the University of Nancy in France. The vectorization process uses enzymes and cold water to extract EPA and DHA from the heads of salmon. Vectomega has been tested and found to be free of harmful solvents, and since it is not an oil, has been proven stable at room temperature for up to 3 years.
