The omega-3 market is evolving fast — driven by consumer demand for smaller, more effective formats, sustainable alternatives, and clean-label processing. Naturmega, a trusted omega-3 oil manufacturer based in Colombia, is stepping up to lead this transformation.
In partnership with Originates, Naturmega is introducing supercritical fractionation (SCF) — a state-of-the-art technology that uses CO₂ to extract and concentrate omega-3 fatty acids with precision, purity, and minimal environmental impact. This process enables the production of high-concentration omega-3 oils (up to 75–80%), allowing brands to deliver therapeutic doses in smaller softgels, gummies, or functional formats.
- Cleaner process: SCF avoids high heat and solvents, preserving delicate fatty acids and extending product shelf life.
- More sustainable: CO₂-based extraction is eco-friendly, recyclable, and reduces risk of oxidation or contamination
- Fish and algae-based options: Naturmega now offers a dedicated algae oil line, responding to the growing demand for vegan omega-3s.
- Capacity to scale: A multi-year plant expansion is underway — increasing distillation, storage, and custom packaging capabilities to serve both large and small customers with flexibility.
nnovation spotlight: Ruby-O™, Naturmega’s phospholipid-based omega-3 ingredient, was also born from this commitment to performance and next-gen delivery formats.
