Tuna Oil bulk drum

Our tuna oil (Thunnus spp.) is distinguished by its naturally high DHA content, offering a minimum of 25% DHA and 35% total omega-3 fatty acids. Carefully refined from fresh fish of the Scombridae family, it delivers a clean sensory profile, consistent quality, and compliance with European Pharmacopoeia standards. With approximately 270 mg EPA+DHA per gram, it is a preferred ingredient for nutritional products seeking elevated DHA levels. Manufactured under HACCP-approved standards for human-grade applications.

Applications

What brands use it for.

Formulated where DHA leads rather than EPA, for products positioned around DHA-specific outcomes. The relevant claims are the brand owner's regulatory responsibility.

Differentiator

What sets it apart.

An exceptionally DHA-forward profile — minimum 25% DHA and 35% total omega-3 — distinct from the more EPA-balanced body oils, and typically supplying around 270 mg EPA+DHA per gram.

Fatty-acid science

What the fatty acids support.

  • Brain function

    DHA contributes to maintenance of normal brain function at 250 mg/day (EU Reg. 432/2012).

  • Vision

    DHA contributes to maintenance of normal vision at 250 mg/day (EU Reg. 432/2012).

  • Heart function

    EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function (EFSA authorised at 250 mg/day in the finished supplement, EU Reg. 432/2012).

These reflect established research on the fatty acids the oil contains. Health claims on finished supplements are the brand owner's regulatory responsibility.

Formats

Bulk delivery.

Supplied in bulk as a 200 L steel drum (approximately 190 kg), with a Certificate of Analysis on every shipment.
