Nano Omega-3 Pre-Concentrate
Marine or algal omega-3 encapsulated for water dispersion and for oxidative protection. Algal source available for vegan claims.
Why this active is encapsulated
Omega-3 oils oxidize readily, and oxidation is what produces the fishy off-note that kills a finished beverage. Encapsulation puts a barrier between the oil and dissolved oxygen, which extends usable shelf life as much as it solves dispersion.
Primary benefit
Stability. The particle shell shields the active from oxygen, light and pH conditions that would otherwise degrade it in a finished matrix.
