Medved Natural Omega 3

Medved Natural Omega-3 (90 Capsules)

A high-quality fish oil concentrate from EPAX, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, with no taste or odour. Since our bodies cannot produce omega-3 fatty acids on their own, they must be obtained through diet or supplements.

Medved Natural Omega-3 is an excellent way to ensure sufficient intake of these essential nutrients. Each package contains 90 soft gel capsules, with each capsule providing 375 mg of omega-3 fatty acids, including 250 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 125 mg of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The DHA and EPA are protected from oxidation by a natural antioxidant extracted from tocopherols.

Benefits of Omega-3 Fatty Acids:

✔ Brain Health – DHA is essential for proper brain cell function and may support cognitive abilities.

✔ Heart Health – Omega-3s help maintain a healthy heart rhythm and may reduce inflammation, benefiting cardiovascular health.

✔ Inflammation Reduction – Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties that can help alleviate inflammatory responses in the body.

Premium Quality with No Fishy Smell or Taste

For Medved Natural Omega-3, we carefully selected a high-purity omega-3 concentrate and ensured that it is free from fishy taste and odor—without using chemicals. This makes the supplement pleasant and easy to take while delivering maximum health benefits.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Omega-3 Quality, Purity and TOTOX

How can I tell if an Omega-3 supplement is high quality?

When choosing a high-quality Omega-3 supplement, look beyond the total fish oil content. Check the actual EPA and DHA amounts, the source of the oil, its TOTOX value, and whether the manufacturer provides transparent specifications or independent laboratory test results for heavy metals, dioxins and PCBs. Premium ingredients such as EPAX® fish oil can provide additional reassurance about purification processes and quality standards.

What is TOTOX in Omega-3 fish oil, and why is it important?

TOTOX (Total Oxidation Value) is a measure of the overall oxidation level in fish oil. Omega-3 fatty acids are sensitive to oxygen, heat and light, making oxidation an important factor in fish oil quality. A lower TOTOX value generally indicates less oxidation. The internationally recognised GOED maximum is 26, while the premium EPAX® fish oil used by Medveď Natural has a maximum specified TOTOX value of just 10.

What is considered a good TOTOX value for Omega-3 supplements?

The lower the TOTOX value, the fresher and less oxidised the fish oil generally is. While the GOED industry standard permits a maximum TOTOX of 26, a value below 10 is a particularly stringent quality target. EPAX® fish oil has a maximum TOTOX specification of 10, making it an excellent choice for consumers looking for low-oxidation Omega-3 supplements.

Is Medved Natural / Livelity Omega-3 tested for heavy metals?

Medved Natural Omega-3 uses premium EPAX® fish oil, which is produced under strict quality specifications for heavy metals and environmental contaminants. EPAX® specifies maximum mercury levels of just 0.005 mg/kg, compared with the GOED limit of 0.1 mg/kg. This means its mercury specification is 20 times lower than the industry limit. Strict limits also apply to other contaminants, including lead, dioxins and PCBs. These are maximum raw-material specifications rather than measured results for an individual finished-product batch.

What makes EPAX® fish oil different from ordinary fish oil?

EPAX® is a Norwegian producer of highly purified and concentrated Omega-3 fish oils. Its oils undergo advanced purification and quality-control processes to minimise contaminants and oxidation. EPAX® also applies stringent specifications for freshness, heavy metals and environmental pollutants, making it a premium source of EPA and DHA for Omega-3 supplements.

Are Omega-3 capsules better than liquid fish oil?

Both liquid fish oil and Omega-3 capsules can provide high-quality EPA and DHA. However, individual sealed softgel capsules have a practical advantage: they minimise repeated exposure of the oil to air. Once a bottle of liquid fish oil is opened, its contents may be exposed to oxygen each time it is used, potentially accelerating oxidation. Proper packaging, storage and the initial quality of the oil remain important for both formats.
