Fish oil is oil derived from the tissues of oily fish. It is recommended for a healthy diet because Fish oil contains the omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), precursors to eicosanoids that reduce inflammation throughout the body. Fish do not actually produce omega-3 fatty acids, but instead accumulate them from either consuming microalgae that produce these fatty acids, as is the case with fish like herring and sardines, or, as is the case with fatty predatory fish, by eating prey fish that have accumulated omega-3 fatty acids from microalgae. Many people have turned to fish oil supplements to get adequate omega-3 fatty acids.
Fish oil´s main effective ingredients are DHA and EPA which are widely used in medical materials, healthcare food and food processing. Our company has possessed the national, biggest and most advanced multilevel molecular distillation equipment which can produce 10%-80% of the refined fish oil contained in EPA+DHA. Meanwhile, we can prepare the product which has different content and different
