The health benefits associated with the consumption of omega-3 from fish well documented. What is also well documented is the aversion that many people, kids in particular, have to the taste of regular fish oil. Scientists have been working on a solution to this problem for years and one of the best of those solutions has been developed by GAT Food Essentials in Austria. They have developed a patented micro-encapsulation technology called wowCAPS which coats the oil and eliminates that fishy taste and odour. Unlike some other micro-encapsulation technologies, wowCAPS is very robust and able to handle some of the harshest food processing conditions. This makes it easier to incorporate the oil into a broader range of food products.

Our most popular omega-3 products are;

• IG DHA - high DHA oil from tuna
• MG DHA - high DHA oil from algae (oil supplied by Martek)
