CET03^® is a natural fish oil ingredient which contains a high level of Cetoleic acid (Omega-11) with Omega-3 (EPA and DHA). CETO3^® is derived from North Atlantic herring. High levels of Omega-11 are uniquely found in North Atlantic pelagic fish. Omega-11 have proven to increase the human body’s own production of EPA/DHA.

A 12-week double-blind randomised intervention trial with a parallel group design was conducted to investigate the effect of CET03^® vs fish oil on omega-3 status. The participants consumed either two 1 g capsules of CET03^® daily or two 1 g fish oil daily with food. Each CETO3^® herring capsule contained 200 mg of DHA/EPA (i.e., 400 mg per day), whereas each fish oil capsule contained 300 mg DHA/EPA (i.e., 600 mg per day).

After 12 weeks, the study demonstrated that a lower dose of CET03^® increased the Omega-3 Index comparable to Fish oil. Compared to the fish oil capsules used in this trial, it would appear from the results of this pilot study, on a pro-rata dose equivalence, that CET03^® might deliver a 50% improvement in the Omega-3 Index.

CET03® points of difference:

• Contains Cetoleic acid (Omega-11) and Omega-3 EPA/DHA
• Cetoleic acid is the main fatty acid in North Atlantic Herring
• Cetoleic acid stimulates and increases the body’s own production of EPA/DHA
• Single source fish Omega-3 ingredient
• No fishy smell, taste or unpleasant reflux – can be taken as both liquid and capsule
• Human grade production process without any solvent or chemicals
• Low on pollutants as pelagic fish swim neither up in the surface or bottom of the ocean
• CETO3^® is harvested and produced in Norway
• Immediate processing: from fresh fish to oil takes as little as 30 minutes
• Low carbon footprint
• GOED member
• Friends of the sea certified
• Marine Trust certified
• Fished and harvest under Norwegian Quotas
