Marine Omega (UK)

Marine Omega combines omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil (EPA and DHA) with krill oil in a single enteric-coated softgel designed to eliminate the fishy aftertaste that puts most people off fish oil supplements. At £45.27 for a 30-day supply, it's priced above basic supermarket fish oils but delivers a more comprehensive omega-3 profile with superior absorption. The enteric coating means the capsule dissolves in the intestine rather than the stomach — no reflux, no fish burps, no unpleasant repeat. If you've tried omega-3 before and given up because of the taste, this solves that specific problem.

What Makes Marine Omega Different

The UK population consistently falls short on omega-3 intake. The NDNS shows that most British adults eat oily fish less than once a week — well below the recommended twice weekly — and omega-3 status reflects this. Marine Omega addresses the gap with a dual-source formula: concentrated fish oil for high-dose EPA and DHA, plus krill oil which provides omega-3s in phospholipid form for enhanced bioavailability. The phospholipid structure in krill oil is more efficiently incorporated into cell membranes than the triglyceride form found in standard fish oils alone.

A 2014 meta-analysis in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (Chowdhury R, et al., 2014;100(1):233-244, PMID: 24847854) found that higher circulating omega-3 levels were associated with reduced cardiovascular risk markers. The evidence for EPA and DHA supporting cardiovascular health, brain function, and inflammatory response is among the strongest in nutrition science. Marine Omega delivers these fatty acids at doses aligned with the ranges used in positive clinical studies.

Key Ingredients

EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) — Anti-inflammatory omega-3 that supports cardiovascular health and has been studied for mood and cognitive benefits. EPA competes with arachidonic acid in inflammatory pathways, shifting the body's inflammatory balance toward resolution.

DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) — The primary structural omega-3 in brain tissue and retinal cells. DHA supports cognitive function, and adequate intake is particularly important for adults over 40 when natural DHA levels in neural tissue begin declining.

Krill Oil (Phospholipid-Bound Omega-3s) — Provides omega-3s in a phospholipid form that's absorbed more efficiently across the intestinal wall and incorporated into cell membranes more readily than triglyceride-form fish oil. Also contains natural astaxanthin, a potent carotenoid antioxidant.

How to Use

Take 2-4 softgels daily with food. The enteric coating means timing is flexible — with breakfast, lunch, or dinner all work. If you're also taking LifePak+, the omega-3 in Marine Omega supplements (not duplicates) the smaller amount included in LifePak+'s formula. For UK adults who eat oily fish less than twice weekly — which the NDNS data suggests is the majority — Marine Omega fills a gap that's genuinely difficult to close through diet alone without significant menu changes.

Who Is This For

Anyone not regularly eating oily fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines, herring) at least twice a week. In practice, this includes most British adults. Particularly valuable for cardiovascular support in adults over 40, cognitive maintenance in adults over 50, and anyone with inflammatory conditions (consult your GP regarding interaction with anti-inflammatory medication). Also useful for people who've previously abandoned fish oil supplements due to fishy aftertaste — the enteric coating genuinely resolves this.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy Marine Omega without signing up?
Yes. NuBest Skin sells it directly — no Nu Skin membership or account. Ships from the official UK warehouse.

Will I get fish burps?
The enteric coating is specifically designed to prevent this. The capsule passes through the stomach intact and dissolves in the small intestine, so the fish oil never contacts your stomach lining. In our experience, this works — no reflux, no fishy aftertaste, no repeat taste.

How does this compare to Holland & Barrett fish oil?
Standard fish oil capsules from Holland & Barrett provide EPA and DHA in triglyceride form without enteric coating, and most don't include krill oil. Marine Omega provides a dual-source formula (fish oil + krill oil phospholipids) with enteric coating to eliminate taste issues. The krill oil component enhances absorption. The price difference reflects these formulation advantages.

Important Information

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Keep out of reach of young children. Store in a cool, dry place.

Contains fish and crustacean (krill) derivatives. Not suitable for individuals with fish or shellfish allergies. If you are taking blood-thinning medication (warfarin, aspirin), consult your GP before use as omega-3 may affect bleeding time.
