OM3menopause - Technical, production and quality specifications

OM3menopause is a dietary supplement designed to complement a varied diet that in itself guarantees good nutritional balance. 
 
OM3menopause is not intended to replace or substitute any medical treatment prescribed by your doctor.
 

 
> Manufacture


OM3menopause is a pharmaceutical-grade oil manufactured exclusively from wild-caught fish (anchovies, sardines).
 
With OM3menopause , each step of the manufacturing process is performed in accordance with the appropriate pharmaceutical (“GMP” or Good Manufacturing Practices) and food standards. By conforming to the required ISO 9001 standard, we guarantee the highest quality of pharmaceutical oil. In addition to the strict controls carried out during the various stages of production, isodisnatura periodically sends stock samples of the product to an independent laboratory for analysis, thus monitoring the product's quality throughout its shelf life.
 
The majority of fish oils available commercially contain no more than 30% Omega-3, and some only 15%. The remaining 70% of the oil consumed is high in calories but has no benefits to health.

OM3menopause has the most abundant concentration of Omega-3 (90%) currently available.

In accordance with existing regulations on dietary supplements, OM3menopause contains no estrogens, progesterone, or derived hormones.

The absence of DNA from soy and soy isoflavones was tested in OM3menopause , and as such we are now offering you a single phytoestrogen-free formula.

> Quality


The concentrations provided by OM3menopause are ISO-9001 certified and production is carried out in accordance with GMP standards.

Fish products have an inherent risk of being contaminated by pollutants such as mercury, PCBs and dioxins that, unfortunately, are all too common in nature. The purification process that gives OM3menopause its exceptionally high concentration also eliminates all the pollutants currently found in fish, whether farmed or wild.

The quantities of heavy metals (such as iron, arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury and copper) and other pollutants (such as DDE, DDT and HCB) are certified as being below the detection level.

In particular, the PCB levels found in batches of OM3menopause are less than or equal to 150µg/kg, in other words more than ten times below the standard set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) (2000µg/kg), and more than six times lower than the WHO standard (1000µg/kg).

Similarly, the dioxin level is below 2 picog TEQ/g, which is in line with European regulations.
 
Given how often marine produce is found to be contaminated, it is essential to be able to guarantee the purity of this natural, sea-based product.
 
 

> Shelf-life


OM3menopause contains a protective dose of vitamin E (3mg per gram of oil) that keeps the Omega-3 in a biologically active state and limits the risk of peroxidation.

The vitamin E present gives OM3menopause a shelf life of 3 years, when kept in a dry place at a temperature between 15 and 25°C. Exposing the product to light and a higher temperature reduces its shelf life and can damage the soft capsules.
 
Besides the strict controls performed during the various stages of production, isodisnatura periodically sends OM3menopause stock samples for independent laboratory analysis, thus monitoring quality throughout the product's shelf life (3 years).
