Omega Protein Corporation is the largest producer of fish oil in North America, vertically integrated from catch to production. OmegaPure®, refined fish oil is derived from menhaden, which is a member of the herring family. Menhaden fish oil is a source of essential long-chain omega-3 fatty acids and meets the requirements of the GRAS regulation for use as a food ingredient and is OU (Orthodox Union) kosher certified.
Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of heart disease and provide a variety of other health benefits.
