Our Mission
The mission of OmegaBrite is to develop natural products of the highest quality that promote health and well being based on scientific evidence. We are proud of the overwhelming positive response we have received for our flagship product OmegaBrite 100% Natural Advanced Omega-3 Formula.
The goal in creating OmegaBrite was simply to create the best Omega-3 supplement possible with a formulation based on science. That meant doing things that had never been done before, such as creating a super high 90% concentrate of pure Omega-3, creating the first high EPA Omega-3 with 70% pure EPA and creating the first pharmaceutical grade Omega-3 supplement.
We were told what we wanted to create was impractical, too expensive to make, too difficult to distill to such a high purity. But we stuck to our goal of creating the best Omega-3 possible and brought to the world OmegaBrite, high concentrate, high EPA Omega-3 from fish oil with no after taste.
Award winning OmegaBrite 90% concentrated pure Omega-3 is easy to swallow in our tiny gelcaps. OmegaBrite is 70% pure EPA Omega-3 for maximum health benefits. The Omega-3 EPA is found in fish oil distilled through the best distillation with no exposure to oxygen for the purest Omega-3 your family can trust. OmegaBrite supplies your body with High Omega-3 EPA. EPA is the body's natural anti-inflammatory molecule. The high EPA in OmegaBrite gives real results in how you feel. We are excited that our OmegaBrite Kidz liquid is so popular giving children the tremendous benefits of Omega-3 with a flavor they like.
Awards
And we are very proud that OmegaBrite just received the Nutrition Business Journal Product Merit Award for creating the category of high concentrate Omega-3 supplements, bringing to the public the first high EPA Omega-3 supplement, educating the public on the health benefits of EPA and Omega-3 and raising the standards in the industry for purity and quality. In reviews of pharmaceutical grade fish oil by Consumer labs and top universities, OmegaBrite High EPA Pharmaceutical Grade Omega-3 concentrate from fish oil tops the list as we created the category and are the gold standard for purity, concentration and scientific efficacy."
Our commitment to purity, safety and efficacy is the foundation of everything we do. We set the standard in Omega-3's to bring you the very best from science and nature.
