The CoreNhanced™ delivery platform is breaking long-held paradigms and unlocking previously impossible Omega-3 applications.
Extensive research has demonstrated the diverse health benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids. Their mechanisms of action are well understood, contributing to improvements in brain health, cardiac function, muscle recovery, and general wellness. EPA and DHA are crucial for cognitive function, mood, and vision. Research consistently confirms Omega-3s' importance for cardiovascular health and joint mobility, with emerging studies exploring their roles in gut health, immunity, and beauty. Yet, formulating with Omega-3s is complex. Oxidation leads to rancidity, off-flavors, shortened shelf-life, and consumer aversion to 'fishy burps.' Moreover, their hydrophobic nature restricts their incorporation into water-based products, such as beverages and ready-to-drink formulations.
Consumers seek the health benefits of Omega-3s, but often avoid them due to fishy taste and smell. Omega-3s are highly susceptible to oxidation, which degrades nutrient content and produces unpleasant flavors. Maintaining efficacy requires protection from heat, light, and oxygen. Moreover, optimizing absorption through the right delivery format is essential, as some Omega-3 forms are more bioavailable than others.
