Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How is Tuna Oil different from regular fish oil?

A: While regular fish oil often contains a balance of EPA and DHA, our Tuna Oil is specifically sourced and processed to be exceptionally high in DHA. This makes it a more targeted and potent choice for formulations focusing on brain, cognitive, and eye health.

Q2: Is the DHA in your Tuna Oil in its natural form?

A: Yes. Our gentle processing ensures the DHA remains in its natural triglyceride (TG) form, which is the same form found in the human body and is known for its superior bioavailability and absorption.

Q3: With concerns about ocean heavy metals, how do you ensure the purity of your Tuna Oil?

A: Purity is our top priority. We start with species selection from cleaner, deep-water habitats and employ a rigorous, multi-stage molecular distillation process specifically designed to remove heavy metals, PCBs, and other contaminants to levels well below international safety standards.

Q4: Why would I choose the 26% DHA over the 24% variant?

A: The 26% DHA oil offers the highest potency, allowing for a smaller dosage to achieve the same DHA delivery or enabling the creation of more powerful, high-dose products in a single serving. The 24% variant provides an excellent, cost-effective option for broader fortification.

Q5: Is this oil suitable for prenatal and children's supplements?

A: Absolutely. Given its high DHA purity and our stringent safety protocols, it is an ideal ingredient for prenatal vitamins and supplements for children, where DHA is critically important for healthy neurological and visual development.

Q6: Can this oil be used in liquid formulations?

A: Yes, its high stability and purity make it an excellent candidate for liquid emulsions, syrups, and oil blends without compromising taste or shelf-life.

Q7: Do you have sustainability certifications for your tuna sourcing?

A: We are committed to sustainable and responsible sourcing.

Q8: What is the shelf life, and how can I ensure the oil remains stable?

A: The shelf life is 24 months unopened. For maximum stability, store in a cool, dark place and, once opened, use under a nitrogen blanket to prevent oxidation. We recommend using suitable antioxidants in your final formulation.

Q9: Can you provide a Tuna Oil with a higher DHA concentration?

A: We specialize in creating tailored solutions.

Q10: Is your Tuna Oil flavorless?

A: Our purification process results in a very mild, clean marine profile. For applications requiring a completely neutral taste, we recommend microencapsulation or the use of flavor-masking technologies.
