How to NOT be misled by the label:

 A Pharmacological Perspective on Choosing the Right Omega-3

As pharmaceutical professionals, we observe a growing number of omega-3 supplements relying on superficial claims and flashy labels, high-dose claims, or clever flavoring to disguise low purity, poor absorption/bioavailability, or hidden oxidation. At MVS Pharma GmbH, we believe your health decisions should be guided by science, not marketing hype.

That’s why we decided to create a series of educational tip cards to help you identify these misleading practices. Our goal is to empower you with evidence-based insights, enabling you to choose an omega-3 product based on real substance, not just the label.

Application to MVS Omega-3

At MVS Pharma GmbH, we integrate cutting-edge research into the formulation of our MVS Omega-3 supplement, ensuring superior bioavailability, oxidation stability, freshness, safety, and purity.

1. Bioavailability Optimization

  • Instead of ethyl esters, we use rTG form (re-esterified triglycerides), which has higher absorption rates. Our oil features 90% triglycerides, significantly higher than the 50%-60% found in standard commercial products.
  • MVS Omega-3 delivers over 90% pure omega-3s in a highly bioavailable 92% re-esterified triglyceride (rTG) form, with 758 mg EPA and 362 mg DHA per serving (2 capsules) for optimal cardiovascular, cognitive, and cellular support.
  • It is produced under pharmaceutical supervision by certified professionals.
  • It features innovative, ultra-thin, clear capsules for full transparency
  • Dual-layer inert-gas packaging
  • All stages documented and inspected — from filling to final packaging.
  • Independently certified by IFOS, FOS, and GOED, with rigorous testing for pollutants and heavy metals.

2. Oxidation Stability

Omega-3 fatty acids are prone to oxidation, reducing efficacy and even becoming rancid. To combat this:

  • We use IP-certified tocopherols as antioxidants.
  • Our fish oil undergoes state-of-the-art stabilization techniques.
  • Our product has a 3-year shelf life, compared to the industry standard of 2 years.
  • Individual sealing of each capsule to guarantee exceptional freshness and prevent oxidation from production to the last dose.

Oxidation markers:

  • Anisidine Value: 4 (Max: 8)
  • Peroxide Value: 0.1 meq/kg (Max: 1.2 meq/kg)
  • Oxidation Resistant: Freshness maintained from first capsule to last — proven by strict TOTOX control.
