    Product description

    High-potency omega-3 1000mg softgel capsules are a great way to support your pet’s joint mobility, help maintain skin health, manage itchy skin and contribute to a luxurious coat shine.

    OmegaMax omega-3 concentrated EPA and DHA natural fish oil supplement delivers a rich source of polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids.

    Because pets cannot produce these essential fatty acids, they must get them from their diet.

    NutriFlex OmegaMax isn’t your typical omega-3 fish oil for pets; instead, it’s crafted with sustainably harvested wild-caught anchovies and sardines, molecularly distilled to remove toxins and impurities.

    OmegaMax is vet recommended for dogs and cats of all breeds and ages. Each capsule contains an exceptionally pure and fresh source of fish oil with a minimum of 180mg EPA and 120mg DHA, delivering an important omega-3 boost to help your pet enjoy an active, happier and healthier life—naturally.

    NutriFlex® OmegaMax is a certified human-grade supplement for pets. Proudly produced from globally sourced human food-grade ingredients in our state-of-the-art Cape Town facilities. We are FSA Accredited for human food safety standards and GMP Certified because we believe your pet deserves the same uncompromising quality of care as you do.

    Recognising Signs of Omega-3 Fatty Acid Deficiency in Your Pet

    Understanding omega-3 fatty acids and their impact on your pet's health is crucial to ensuring their long-term well-being.

    Many pet owners are unaware of how a deficiency in omega-3 fatty acids can negatively impact their furry friend's overall health.

    Omega-3 fatty acids are vital in every dog and cat's diet because they are essential to maintaining healthy skin, coat, joint function and heart health.

    If your pet lacks adequate omega-3 fatty acid supplementation, it can lead to noticeable behavioural and health issues:

    • Poor skin and coat condition: dull, brittle coat or sheds excessively
    • Increased itchy, dry or flaky skin
    • Allergies
    • Slower than normal wound healing
    • Frequent ear infections
    • Development of hot spots on the skin
    • Noticeable decline in mobility: stiffness, limping or hesitating when moving
    • Behavioral changes: increased aggression, anxiety or lethargy

    For pet owners interested in optimising their animal companions' health, incorporating omega-3-rich foods is advisable.

    However, because not all animals receive adequate omega-3 from their regular diet, supplementing with NutriFlex® OmegaMax ensures they get these essential fatty acids.

    It's essential to understand that a balanced intake of omega-3 fatty acids aids in reducing the risk of acute and chronic conditions and supports overall immune function, adding to the longevity and quality of your beloved dog or cat's life.

    How Omega 3 Supports Your Pet’s Health

    Incorporating omega 3 supplementation into your pet's diet can transform their overall health and wellness. Omega 3, a critical polyunsaturated fatty acid, is a cornerstone for promoting pet vitality.

    Pets, including dogs, require omega-3 fatty acids for numerous health benefits. Like humans, dogs and cats can't produce omega 3 internally, necessitating external sources to meet their health needs.

    • Supports cardiovascular health and contributes to a healthier heart function.
    • Can improve joint mobility, which is particularly beneficial for older pets showing signs of arthritis or joint stiffness.
    • Potent anti-inflammatory properties are pivotal in alleviating issues associated with itchy skin, reducing redness and swelling, and promoting a shiny, healthy coat.
    • Promotes cognitive health, supporting brain function in young puppies and ageing canines. For growing pets, omega 3 is instrumental in brain and eye development, ensuring they achieve optimal growth milestones. For senior pets, omega 3 aids in maintaining mental acuity, potentially delaying cognitive decline with age.
    • Supports immune system strength and equips your pets to fend off illnesses more effectively. A strong immune system is synonymous with fewer vet visits and a happier pet.

    Not all fish oils for dogs and cats are created equal!

    As conscientious pet owners searching for the best health products for your furry family members, it's crucial to understand that not all fish oil products for dogs are created equal.

    When considering a fish oil for dogs, such as NutriFlex® OmegaMax, you're choosing more than just a supplement; you're selecting a potent source of essential nutrients in fish oil that can dramatically enhance your dog’s health.

    But why is NutriFlex ®OmegaMax a superior choice to other fish oils available for dogs?

    The distinction begins with the source of the fish oil. While many products in the market are derived from general fish sources, OmegaMax uses wild-caught anchovies and sardines. These small oily fish are recognised for their rich oil content, providing a superior source of both eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EPA and DHA, integral components of omega-3 fatty acids, offer various benefits for dogs, from improved skin and coat health to better joint function and overall vitality.

    Another factor that sets our fish oil for dogs apart is the molecular distillation process utilised in creating OmegaMax. This advanced method effectively removes toxins and impurities, ensuring your dogs consume only the purest and highest quality fish oil.

    Unfortunately, many cheaper fish oil products don’t go through such rigorous processes, meaning they might contain pollutants that could harm your dog's health rather than enhance it.

    Quality over quantity is another aspect that differentiates superior fish oils like OmegaMax.

    Some products market themselves primarily on high oil quantities without focusing on the actual quality and purity of the fish oil. With OmegaMax, each softgel has a precisely measured amount of EPA and DHA, guaranteeing a consistent dose of nutrients every time, which is crucial for accurately managing your dog’s dietary needs

    Where to get Omega 3 produced from wild-caught deep-sea fish

    NutriFlex® selects sustainably harvested wild-caught sardines and anchovies for your pet’s nutritional supplement.

    These smaller fish are naturally high in omega-3 fatty acids and are less likely to contain the pollutants and heavy metals often found in larger, farmed fish like salmon.

    Their diet of plankton, which is rich in EPA and DHA, contributes to a higher quality of fish oil.

    1. Pollutant and Heavy Metal Accumulation: Larger and farmed fish like salmon are higher up the food chain and tend to accumulate more pollutants and heavy metals from their environment and food source. Sardines and anchovies are smaller, lower on the food chain, and typically have a shorter lifespan, reducing their exposure to marine contaminants.
    2. Quality: Sardines and anchovies feed on plankton, rich in EPA and DHA, the essential components of omega-3 fatty acids. This directly contributes to higher and better quality omega-3 content in these fish than in farmed fish, which may have more controlled and less natural feed.
    3. Sustainability: Wild-caught small fish like sardines and anchovies are often more sustainably fished compared to large-scale farming of bigger fish such as salmon. This makes them a more eco-friendly choice for sourcing fish oil.

    What Contaminants Are Tested for in This Fish Oil Supplement?

    Ensuring the safety and efficacy of fish oil supplements is crucial. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for various contaminants. Here's what you can expect:

    1. Potency:

    • Omega-3 Fatty Acids: The content of essential fatty acids like EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) is measured to confirm the supplement's potency.

    2. Oxidation Indicators:

    • Peroxide Value
    • Anisidine Value
    • Total Oxidation (TOTOX) Value: These parameters help gauge the oil's freshness and ensure it has not gone rancid.

    3. Environmental Pollutants:

    • Polychlorinated Dibenzodioxins (PCDDs)
    • Polychlorinated Dibenzofurans (PCDFs)
    • Dioxin-like Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs): These harmful chemicals are monitored to ensure the supplement is free from dangerous environmental toxins.

    4. Heavy Metals:

    • Arsenic
    • Lead
    • Mercury: Testing for these metals is essential to prevent potential health risks associated with heavy metal contamination.

    5. Microbial Contaminants:

    • Check for the presence of harmful bacteria and pathogens to ensure the supplement's safety for consumption.

    By rigorously testing for these contaminants, the fish oil supplement meets high-quality and safety standards, ensuring consumers' peace of mind.

    Testing Conducted on Each Batch of Our Fish Oil Supplement

    To ensure the highest quality and safety of our fish oil supplements, we conduct a series of rigorous tests on every batch. These tests cover multiple critical aspects:

    1. Potency Verification
      • We check the levels of EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid), DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid), and other omega-3 fatty acids.
    2. Oxidation Levels
      • Indicators such as Peroxide Value, Anisidine Value, and the Total Oxidation Value (TOTOX) are measured to ensure the freshness and stability of the oil.
    3. Environmental Pollutants and Contaminants
      • The presence of harmful substances, including polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), is closely monitored.
    4. Heavy Metal Testing
      • Levels of heavy metals like arsenic, lead, and mercury are assessed to guarantee they are within safe limits.
    5. Microbial Contaminants
      • We ensure that the product is free from any harmful microbial contamination to maintain its safety for consumption.

    These comprehensive tests are designed to ensure that our fish oil supplements are effective and safe for daily use. By maintaining stringent quality control measures, we provide you with a product that you can trust.

    Clean formulation

    We ensure our omega fish oil is free from soy, GMOs, and unnecessary additives or preservatives.

    The OmegaMax Fish Oil Omega 3 supplement is carefully encapsulated with Vitamin E to help preserve freshness. Each batch undergoes molecular distillation to reduce impurities, toxins, and heavy metals, emphasising our commitment to quality and your pet’s well-being.

     

    How is the Processing of Omega-3 Fatty Acids Done to Maintain Their Stability?

    The processing of omega-3 fatty acids is meticulously managed to ensure their stability and potency. Here’s how it’s done:

    1. Minimal Oxygen Exposure: The entire process occurs in an environment with limited oxygen. Oxygen can rapidly degrade omega-3s, making this step crucial.
    2. Controlled Temperatures: are kept low to prevent the fatty acids from breaking down. High heat can destabilise omega-3s, so maintaining a cool processing environment is vital.
    3. Light Protection: The oils are shielded from light, which can cause them to deteriorate. Light-blocking containers or facilities are often used to protect the nutrients.
    4. Neutral pH Conditions: The process avoids both alkaline and acidic substances. A neutral pH helps maintain the structural integrity of the omega-3 fatty acids.

    These careful measures ensure that the omega-3s remain stable from processing to consumption, preserving their health benefits.
