Marine Omega (USA)

Marine Omega — Ultra-Pure Omega-3 With Krill Oil for Superior Cellular Delivery

Omega-3 fatty acids are one of the few supplements where the scientific evidence is unambiguous: they support cardiovascular health, brain function, joint comfort, and healthy inflammatory response. Your body can't produce them, so you either get them from fatty fish (which most Americans don't eat enough of) or supplementation. Marine Omega provides 1,200mg of ultra-pure omega-3s per day from a dual-source formula that combines high-concentration fish oil with krill oil — giving you both the volume of EPA/DHA from fish oil and the superior phospholipid delivery mechanism of krill.

The dual-source approach matters because fish oil and krill oil deliver omega-3s in different molecular forms. Fish oil omega-3s are in triglyceride form — effective but require more processing by your body for cellular incorporation. Krill oil omega-3s are bound to phospholipids, the same molecular form found in your cell membranes, allowing more direct incorporation into cellular structures. Marine Omega gives you both, plus rigorous purity testing under Pharmanex's 6S Quality Process.

Key Benefits

• 1,200mg Daily Omega-3s — A clinically meaningful dose of EPA and DHA, the two omega-3 fatty acids with the strongest and most extensive research backing
• Dual Source: Fish Oil + Krill Oil — Fish oil provides high EPA/DHA concentration. Krill oil adds phospholipid-bound omega-3s for enhanced cellular membrane incorporation. Together, they deliver both volume and quality
• Cardiovascular Health — EPA and DHA support healthy triglyceride levels, blood pressure already within normal range, and arterial flexibility. The American Heart Association recommends omega-3 intake for cardiovascular benefit
• Brain Function — DHA makes up approximately 40% of the polyunsaturated fatty acids in your brain. Adequate DHA intake supports cognitive function, memory, and mood regulation throughout life
• Joint Comfort — EPA supports a healthy inflammatory response, helping maintain comfortable joint function and reducing exercise-related inflammation
• Ultra-Pure — Every batch tested for heavy metals (mercury, lead, cadmium), PCBs, dioxins, and oxidation under the 6S Quality Process

Key Ingredients

Marine Omega's formula is focused on delivering the most effective forms of omega-3 fatty acids with verified purity.

• EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) — The omega-3 most associated with cardiovascular benefits and healthy inflammatory response. EPA supports heart health by promoting healthy triglyceride levels and supporting arterial elasticity. It's also the precursor to resolvins and protectins — specialized pro-resolving mediators that actively resolve inflammation rather than just suppressing it
• DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) — The omega-3 most concentrated in brain tissue, retinal cells, and heart tissue. DHA is a structural component of neuronal cell membranes — your brain literally needs it to function. Research published in Neurology found that higher DHA levels were associated with larger brain volume and better cognitive function in older adults
• Krill Oil (Euphausia superba) — Provides omega-3s in phospholipid form, which some research suggests is more efficiently incorporated into cell membranes than triglyceride-form omega-3s. Krill oil also contains the antioxidant astaxanthin, which naturally prevents the oil from oxidizing — a significant quality advantage over fish oil alone
• Vitamin D3 — Added to synergize with the omega-3s. Vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids work cooperatively in immune function, bone health, and inflammatory regulation

How Nu Skin's Approach Differs

Purity is the primary differentiator for fish oil supplements — and it's where most budget options fall short. Ocean-sourced fish accumulate mercury, PCBs, dioxins, and other contaminants. Low-quality fish oil supplements may contain these contaminants at concerning levels. Pharmanex tests every batch of Marine Omega under the 6S Quality Process for heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, and oxidation — the latter being particularly important because oxidized fish oil can actually increase oxidative stress rather than reduce it.

The addition of krill oil alongside fish oil is a deliberate formulation decision, not just an ingredient-list upgrade. Phospholipid-bound omega-3s from krill are water-dispersible, meaning they mix with digestive fluids more readily than triglyceride-form omega-3s from fish oil. This improves absorption consistency and reduces the fishy burps that are the most common complaint about fish oil supplements.

How It Compares

Comparison based on publicly available product information as of 2025. Features and formulations may change.

How to Use

Take the recommended daily serving with a meal containing some dietary fat. Taking with food improves absorption and reduces any chance of fishy aftertaste. If you experience burps, try taking with a larger meal or refrigerating the softgels (cold softgels dissolve lower in the digestive tract, past the point where reflux occurs). Consistent daily use builds omega-3 levels in your cell membranes over 4-8 weeks.

Who Should Consider This Product

Marine Omega is Pharmanex's premium omega-3 supplement, suited for adults who want maximum EPA/DHA intake with the phospholipid delivery advantage of krill oil — particularly those focused on cardiovascular health, brain function, or joint comfort. It's the upgrade from Optimum Omega for people who want higher doses plus krill oil's enhanced delivery. If omega-3 supplementation is new to you or budget is the priority, Optimum Omega provides solid omega-3 support at a lower price point.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why combine fish oil and krill oil?

A: Fish oil provides high EPA/DHA concentrations cost-effectively. Krill oil provides omega-3s in phospholipid form for better cellular membrane incorporation, plus astaxanthin antioxidant protection. The combination gives you optimal dose (fish oil) plus optimal delivery (krill oil).

Q: How does this compare to Optimum Omega?

A: Marine Omega is the premium upgrade: higher total EPA/DHA dose, added krill oil for phospholipid delivery, and astaxanthin antioxidant protection. Optimum Omega is a solid fish oil supplement at a more accessible price. Both are 6S quality-tested.

Q: Is this tested for mercury?

A: Yes — every batch. Testing covers mercury, lead, cadmium, PCBs, dioxins, and oxidation levels under the 6S Quality Process. Purity certification is available.

Q: Can I take this with LifePak?

A: Yes — they're commonly used together. LifePak provides comprehensive vitamin/mineral nutrition. Marine Omega adds dedicated high-dose omega-3 support. Different nutritional needs, complementary benefits.

Q: Will I get fishy burps?

A: The krill oil component actually helps reduce this issue (phospholipid omega-3s are less likely to cause reflux than triglyceride-form fish oil). If you do experience aftertaste, take with a larger meal or refrigerate the softgels.
