WHAT ARE OMEGA3 FATTY ACIDS?
Omega3 fatty acids naturally occur as triglycerides, the molecular structure that fats and oils assume in both plants and animals. Omega3 belong to the long chain, polunsatturated fatty acids (FA). This is how Omega3 fatty acids are preserved in Omega3 of Norway’s capsules. A triglyceride Omega3 oil not only ensures that their nutritional goodness is most easily absorbed by the body, but also provides insurance against the oxidization of Omega3 to protect their stability and efficacy.
With so many Omega3 s on the market, many producers are opting for an alternative form of Omega3 known as ethyl esters. This type of fish oil combines free fatty acids with ethanol to make the EPA and DHA levels more concentrated. Referred to as fish oil concentrates, these ethyl esters are commonly used since they cost the least to produce. However, they are more difficult for the body to digest and process.
Freshly squeezed orange juice or a concentrated one. The taste may be similar, but the physical make up is entirely different, which one would you choose?
Fish oil concentrate has been artificially manipulated to hit the same standards as fish oil triglycerides. Omega3 of Norway not only offers Omega3 oil in its authentic form.
Our formula is comprised of over 90% triglycerides while most other companies average around 60%. Presented with a choice of the two, what would you prefer?

What are triglycerides?
The National Academy of Sciences defines fats and oils as “complex organic molecules that are formed by combining three fatty acids with one molecule of glycerol”. Triglycerides, or triacylglycerols, are th ed to define this molecular structure combining three fatty acids (i.e. EPA and DHA) esterified (bonded) to a glycerol backbone. TGs are the natural molecular form that make up virtually all fats and oils in both animal and plants species.
The Omega3 fats present in fish are almost exclusively TGs1. Because free fatty acids are rapidly oxidized the TG structure offers greater stability to the fatty acids and prevents breakdown and oxidation.
Are all fish oil concentrates ethyl esters?
The vast majority of fish oil concentrates sold globally; including those sold in North America are EPA and DHA EE concentrates. A small percentage of fish oil concentrates on the market are natural TGs. In the manufacturing of EE concentrates it is possible to convert the fatty acids back to TGs using food grade enzymes. This process, called glycerolysis, removes the ethanol molecule and re-esterifies the EPA and DHA fatty acids to a glycerol backbone. These are commonly referred to as re-esterfied or concentrated triglycerides (rTGs).
The process of converting EE to TG is uncommon due to cost constraints adding 30-40 % to the end bulk oil cost. Therefore, the only rationale for omitting the glycerolysis step is cost cutting.
What are ethyl esters, and how are they produced?
Fatty acid ethyl esters are a class of lipids that are derived by reacting free fatty acids with ethanol (alcohol)3. Called trans-esterification, the process involves a reaction whereby the glycerol backbone of a TG is removed and substituted with ethanol4. The resulting EE allow for the fractional distillation (concentration) of the long chain fatty acids at lower temperatures. Commonly referred to as molecular distillation in the fish oil industry this step allows for the selective concentration of the EPA and DHA fatty acids to levels greater than found naturally in fish3. The resulting EPA and DHA concentrate is typically the end product that is subsequently marketed and sold as “Fish Oil concentrate”. This situation presents several issues. Because the term fat or oil refers only to TG the EPA and DHA ethyl ester concentrate is, by definition, no longer a fat or oil and is incorrectly marketed as fish oil. Because EEs rarely occur in nature this affects the way they are digested and absorbed in the body.
