Medved Natural Omega-3 premium (90 Capsules)

A dietary supplement combining highly concentrated omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) from pure EPAX® brand fish oil with hydroxytyrosol – a powerful natural polyphenol derived from olives (Olea europaea). This unique blend of active ingredients helps protect the heart, blood vessels, brain, and cells throughout the body.

Omega-3 Premium is rich in essential omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, crucial for maintaining the health of the heart, circulatory system, brain, and eyes. A standout ingredient is hydroxytyrosol – a strong olive antioxidant that protects cells from damage and helps reduce inflammation in the body.

This supplement is ideal for anyone looking to lower cholesterol, support brain function, slow down cellular ageing, and protect against oxidative stress and lifestyle-related diseases.

Why are Omega-3s important?

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats that the body cannot produce on its own, so they must be obtained from food or supplements. They play a key role in:

• Heart and vascular health – EPA helps maintain normal blood pressure and reduces inflammation

• Brain function – DHA is essential for brain performance, memory, and concentration

• Eye protection – DHA is found in the retina and contributes to good vision

• Immunity and mood – Omega-3s also positively influence mental well-being

Why choose Omega-3 Premium?

Unlike standard omega-3 supplements, Omega-3 Premium also contains hydroxytyrosol – a natural olive polyphenol, one of the most powerful antioxidants, which:

• Protects cells from free radicals and ageing

• Lowers levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol

• Supports detoxification and liver function

• Has anti-inflammatory effects – helpful in arthritis, intestinal inflammation, skin issues

• Helps prevent lifestyle diseases – high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, memory disorders, diabetes

Active ingredients per capsule

• 375 mg omega-3 fatty acids

  • 250 mg EPA – anti-inflammatory, heart health

  • 125 mg DHA – brain, vision, and nerve support

• 0.8 mg hydroxytyrosol – olive antioxidant with clinically proven effects

Premium EPAX® Omega-3 – Exceptional Purity and Freshness

Not all fish oils are created equal. When choosing an Omega-3 supplement, the amount of EPA and DHA is important, but so are the freshness, oxidation levels and purity of the oil.

Medveď Natural Omega-3 contains premium Norwegian EPAX® fish oil, produced under strict quality standards with particular attention to oxidation and environmental contaminants.

TOTOX – An Important Indicator of Fish Oil Freshness

TOTOX (Total Oxidation Value) measures the overall degree of oxidation in fish oil. Omega-3 fatty acids are particularly sensitive to oxidation, which can affect the quality and freshness of the oil.

The lower the TOTOX value, the lower the measured level of oxidation.

The internationally recognised GOED (Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3s) maximum TOTOX limit is 26.

EPAX® fish oil has a maximum specified TOTOX value of just 10 – more than 2.5 times below the GOED limit.

This stringent specification reflects EPAX®'s commitment to maintaining the freshness and oxidative stability of its fish oil.

Purity Matters – Strict Limits for Heavy Metals and Other Contaminants

Fish oils may contain traces of environmental contaminants, including heavy metals, dioxins and PCBs. High-quality manufacturers use purification processes and testing to ensure these substances remain within strict safety limits.

EPAX® applies particularly stringent maximum specifications for contaminants.

EPAX® Maximum Contaminant Specifications Compared with GOED Limits

Parameter / EPAX® Maximum / GOED Limit
Mercury  / 0.005 mg/kg / 0.1 mg/kg
Cadmium / 0.005 mg/kg / 0.1 mg/kg
Lead / 0.025 mg/kg / 0.1 mg/kg
Arsenic / 0.1 mg/kg / 0.1 mg/kg
Dioxins and furans / 1 pg/g / 2 pg/g
PCBs / 2 pg/g / 3 pg/g
TOTOX (oxidation value) / 10 / 26

What makes these figures particularly impressive?

• Mercury: EPAX®'s maximum specification is 20 times lower than the stated GOED limit.

• Cadmium: The maximum specification is also 20 times lower.

• Lead: The specified maximum is four times lower.

• TOTOX: The maximum oxidation value is 10, compared with the GOED limit of 26.

These figures represent the published maximum quality specifications for the EPAX® raw material, rather than laboratory measurements from an individual finished-product batch.

Why Quality and Transparency Matter

A high-quality Omega-3 supplement should offer more than a high concentration of EPA and DHA. It should also provide reassurance about its source, purity, oxidation levels and manufacturing standards.

By choosing premium EPAX® fish oil, Medveď Natural places particular emphasis on these essential aspects of Omega-3 quality.
