The processing and encapsulation of fish oil capsules are crucial to ensure a top quality product. The oils contained in the MEDIFOOD® ULTRA EPA/DHA are high quality fish oils that are guaranteed to be free of detectable levels of heavy metals and PCBs. They are stabilized with natural vitamin E to reduce risk of rancidity and are packaged in containers that are impervious to light.
The gelatin capsules are enterically coated to prevent the break down of the gelatin capsule until the capsules leave the stomach and enter the small intestine. This prevents any undesirable fish-oil aftertaste developing after consumption of the capsules. Once the capsules leave the acidic pH of the stomach they are easily broken down and well absorbed in the small intestine.
