Purity beyond industry standards
Purity is a never-ending focus for Epax®. In his quest to deliver ingredients free from environmental and oxidative impurities, they go above and beyond industry standards.
Their specifications not only meet, but surpass the requirements of:
– The EU and US Pharmacopoeias
– The Codex Alimentarius standard
– The GOED Monograph
– IFOS 5-star rating standards
Understanding the measurement: the data are shown as mg/kg. For comparison, 1 mg equals the weight of half of a small mosquito. The GOED limits start on 0.1 mg/kg or lower.
A new approach to purification
The Omega-3 process begins with high-quality, human-grade crude oil. After being refined it is purified using a proprietary process that allows us to avoid the use of hexane, acetone, methanol, petroleum ether and excessive heat.
They then monitor for 22 environmental and oxidative impurities. Testing shows that 75% of these are repeatedly below detection limits set by leading external laboratories. Epax even test for several parameters that are not regulated.
