Omega-3 Science
Health Canada recommends at least 1.8g of Omega-3 fatty acids daily. Yet the average North American consumes only ~200g annually — roughly 20% of the recommended amount.
01
Unlike fish oils, Natural Edible Marine Source Oil contains all three long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids — EPA, DHA, and DPA — in a natural balance closely mirroring the human body. DPA concentration is up to 10× higher than in fish oil.
02
Omega-3s in Natural Edible Marine Source Oil are naturally bio-filtered, making them more easily absorbed and metabolized by the human body compared to plant-based or fish-derived sources.
03
Clinical research links Omega-3 fatty acids to improved cardiovascular function — combating heart disease, keeping vessel walls supple, and lowering cholesterol deposits. WHO and Health Canada both recommend daily Omega-3 intake.
04
Omega-3 lipids are essential for producing phospholipids and maintaining cell membranes, regulating what enters and exits cells — including barriers against bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
05
A 2017 Krembil Neuroscience Centre study (published in Neurology) found patients taking Natural Edible Marine Source Oil omega-3 supplements twice daily for 12 months experienced a 29% increase in corneal nerve fibre length — a first-of-its-kind finding for diabetic neuropathy. Funded by Diabetes Canada.
06
Natural Edible Marine Source Oil contains natural antioxidants, making it inherently more oxidatively stable than fish or vegetable oils. Absence of moisture and protein ensures no microbiological growth from bacteria, yeasts, or moulds.

Clinical Research Spotlight
A landmark study published in Neurology (American Academy of Neurology) found that patients ingesting omega-3 Natural Edible Marine Source Oil supplements twice daily over 12 months experienced a 29% average increase in corneal nerve fibre length — the first evidence that targeted nutritional intervention can stop and reverse small fibre damage in Type 1 diabetes.

Omega-3 Comparison
Fish oils as natural triglycerides contain up to 30% omega-3 EPA & DHA with no or insignificant DPA. Modern concentrates reaching 90% are manufactured using chemicals to isolate and then concentrate the omega-3, producing ethyl esters or reengineered triglycerides.
Omega-3 Structure
Natural Triglyceride
The natural and pure option.
Ethyl Ester
A chemically altered triglyceride.
Reengineered Triglyceride
An ethyl ester chemically altered to become a triglyceride.
Most fish sources begin as natural triglycerides but are chemically altered to yield more omega-3, sacrificing natural purity for fewer capsules.
Complete, Balanced, Natural
Unlike fish oil (EPA & DHA), seal oil is a complete source of omega-3 containing EPA, DHA and DPA, in the same proportion found in mothers' milk and the human body at birth. It is a natural triglyceride, not chemically altered, and low in omega-6. Seals biofilter contaminants to yield a cleaner omega-3 oil.
In the 1970s, Danish scientists found that Greenland Inuit on a traditional seal diet had an astonishingly low risk of cardiac death, heart attack, coronary heart disease and cancer. A 70-year-old Inuit had coronary arteries as elastic as a 20-year-old Dane.

Government of Canada · Library of Parliament · Pub. No. 2017-18-E
Canada's seal harvest is one of the most rigorously managed and scientifically monitored marine fisheries in the world — governed by federal legislation, DFO oversight, CFIA inspection standards, and international trade frameworks. Nutrican Inc. sources exclusively from within this regulated Canadian supply chain.

Chain of Custody
Nutrican's 19-step processing protocol — from raw blubber to sealed pharmaceutical-grade barrel — is governed by HACCP, CFIA, and Good Manufacturing Practices at every stage.
Canadian Atlantic Origin · Phoca groenlandica
Fresh seal pelts are shipped to the processing plant in insulated approved covered containers. Only the freshest blubber fat — inspected for good colour, clean odour — is graded as edible raw material.
Licensed Canadian Toll Service Processors · HACCP · GMP · CFIA Regulated
Low-temperature indirect melting via Contherm heater (≤60°C, <2 min contact time), decanter centrifugation for solid/protein removal, high-speed centrifuge for moisture elimination, then two-stage sub-micron filtration at 99.99% efficiency to <1.0 micron. All processing in licensed, government-inspected Canadian facilities.
Bleaching & Deodorization — POS Bioscience Corp., Saskatoon · HACCP · GMP · CFIA Licensed
Pharmaceutical-grade oil receives additional bleaching (trace metal and colour body removal via bleaching clays) and deodorization via indirect steam distillation under vacuum — eliminating volatile components and residual pesticides.
CFIA Certificate of Origin & Hygiene · Markham, Ontario, Canada
Every batch ships with a CFIA Certificate of Origin & Hygiene, independent laboratory reports, and full fatty acid profiling. Peroxide value, FFA, heavy metals, PCBs, dioxins, and microbiology all verified.
B2B Bulk Delivery Worldwide · Canada · Norway → World Markets
Products shipped in 190 kg steel drums or 1,000 kg totes, sealed with tamper-evident caps. Recommended storage below 20°C; refrigerated where possible. Stable shelf life of 3+ years in original sealed containers.
