Product details

Broad-spectrum oil with omega-3 fats and astaxanthin

NoordCode Ultimate Omega Formula consists of pure and unprocessed oil extracted from the plankton Calanus finmarchicus. This oil contains more than 40 types of fats, including the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, plus astaxanthin.

Benefits of omega-3 fats

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are the best-known omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids provide the following benefits:

  • DHA is an important building block for the brain and helps maintain brain function1.
  • DHA supports eye conditions and helps normal vision1.
  • DHA and EPA contribute positively to normal heart function2.

1 At 250 mg DHA per day. 2 At 250 mg DHA+EPA per day.

Benefits of astaxanthin

In recent years, astaxanthin has attracted increasing interest. Astaxanthin, the pigment that gives salmon its characteristic pink colour, also gives krill and Calanus oils their deep red hue. A growing number of studies shed light on the diverse benefits of astaxanthin.

For skin appearance, the following effects have been found:

  • Helps keep skin looking young.
  • Supports normal hydration of the skin.
  • Supports the normal elasticity of the skin.
  • Supports the normal structure of the skin.

All about Calanus oil

NoordCode Ultimate Omega Formula contains pure Calanus oil. Nothing has been added to the oil, and nothing has been removed. 

Calanus oil offers an innovative source of omega-3s. Calanus was recognised as a valuable raw material from the sea only a few years ago. The Norwegian company Zooca is the only producer of this natural product. As a pioneer in Calanus oil production, Zooca controls the entire production process, leading to unparalleled quality and sustainability.

What is Calanus finmarchicus?

Calanus finmarchicus (Calanus for short) is an animal plankton found in the cold waters of the North Sea, Norwegian Sea, and northern Atlantic Ocean. This small copepod, measuring about 3 mm, feeds mainly on phytoplankton. Calanus itself serves as an essential food source for various marine animals, including whales and fish such as herring and cod. This makes it a crucial link in the ocean food chain, where it is abundant.

Oil with a full spectrum of marine fatty acids

With 40+ different fatty acids, Calanus oil is more than an omega-3 supplement; it is an enrichment for any diet. Diversity is the foundation of balanced nutrition, with a wide range of nutrients contributing to optimal well-being. The oil contains a balanced mix of fatty acids: 15% monounsaturated, 24% polyunsaturated, and 16% saturated.

Like high-quality olive oil, Calanus oil is close to its natural source. Thanks to minimal processing, the product's intrinsic benefits are preserved.

Better omega-3 stability and absorption as wax esters

Calanus finmarchicus stores fatty acids in wax esters. In this process, a fatty acid is bound to a policosanol, which together form a single chain. Fatty acids in wax esters are less susceptible to oxidation than fatty acids in triglyceride or phospholipid form. In addition, the omega-3 fats in wax esters also appear to be more absorbable. Better stability and absorption are excellent pluses for any omega-3 oil.

1.8 mg astaxanthin as a natural preservative

Astaxanthin is a hugely versatile compound and serves, among other things, as a natural preservative in Calanus oil. Two capsules of Ultimate Omega Formula contain 1.8 mg of astaxanthin. This is a respectable dosage and 18x as much as in an average krill oil.

Policosanols and the omega-3 SDA

Calanus oil offers a diverse mix of fats, including EPA, DHA and astaxanthin. After these beneficial fats, SDA and policosanols stand out as compounds of interest.

Stearidonic acid (SDA) is a relatively unknown omega-3 fatty acid. SDA is an intermediate step in the conversion of the omega-3 fatty acid ALA to EPA.

Per two capsules, Ultimate Omega Formula contains:

  • 69 mg eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
  • 51 mg docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
  • 74 mg stearidonic acid (SDA)

This gives Calanus oil a broader omega-3 profile than other omega-3 oils, in which SDA occurs little to no at all.

Policosanols, a type of fatty alcohol, are mainly found in plant sources such as seeds, nuts, and leaves. With 40% policosanols, Calanus oil is the first marine source and is likely to provide similar benefits.

Purity and Stability

Low oxidation levels and an uncontaminated source distinguish top-quality omega-3 supplements. Calanus oil is a level above traditional fish and krill oil in this regard.

The unique wax esther compound and the natural astaxanthin from Calanus provide exceptional protection against oxidation. The low position on the food chain, short life cycle and clean habitat of Calanus finmarchicus contribute to minimal contamination. This is supported by a carefully controlled production process that preserves the integrity of these precious fats.

To ensure the highest standards of purity and stability, Calanus oil undergoes strict quality controls, including:

  • Detecting and excluding heavy metals.
  • Checking for microbiological contaminants.
  • Assessing the absence of environmental toxins.
  • Evaluating the level of oxidation to ensure freshness.

TOTOX score determination for oxidation

The TOTOX score is a measure of oxidation consisting of the peroxidation value (PV) and anisidine value (AV). For Ultimate Omega Formula, the AV cannot be determined due to the dark colour of the oil. Other tests for oxidation, such as the PV, still guarantee high stability and an extremely low oxidation rate.

Renewable, clean source of fats from the sea

Calanus oil production has a minimal ecological impact. This is mainly due to the huge available biomass of Calanus. By comparison, global fisheries and aquaculture harvest around 158 million tonnes annually. Every year, 290 million tonnes of Calanus are created. Marine animals eat 10%, 80% die off, and 10% survive to continue the population next year. Of this huge amount, the Norwegian government allows only 254,000 tonnes - or 0.1% - to be caught annually.

Calanus' one-year life cycle and diet of phytoplankton ensure a very low accumulation of pollutants. This makes the oil naturally clean and pure.

Sustainable catch and minimal processing

Regular fishing boats catch Calanus with special fine-mesh nets, which minimise bycatch. On board, the Calanus is immediately frozen in blocks to preserve freshness. This method is certified by 'Friend of the Sea' and guarantees an environmentally friendly catch.

In the modern, specialised facility, the Calanus oil is extracted from the blocks of frozen Calanus.

  1. The Calanus blocks are thawed and mixed with water and ground.
  2. Enzymes separate the fats and proteins. In the process, the Calanus does not exceed 95°C.
  3. Via centrifugation, the Calanus oil separates from the ground Calanus.
  4. The Calanus oil is now ready for use.

The rest of the Calanus is used as pet food and fish feed. The water is disposed of after careful cleaning. Nothing of the Calanus remains unused.
