Why choose seal oil for your pet?
Although less popular, seal oil has distinct characteristics compared to fish oil. It offers the same omega-3 benefits for your pet, while also providing additional advantages. Because we consider our companions as family members, let's explore why seal oil could be a wise choice for their well-being.
Reliable and responsible sourcing
Unlike fish oils produced in farms around the world, seal oil comes from a sustainable and humane hunt in the pristine, cold waters off the coast of Newfoundland. This hunt is highly regulated and monitored, ensuring a natural product free of hormones and antibiotics. Hunting quotas and slaughter methods are strictly controlled by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to protect seal populations and ensure animal welfare.
Superior quality and stability
Our Omega 3 - Seal oil is 100% pure and refined to eliminate any trace of toxins or heavy metals. Its unique triglyceride composition, unlike that of fish oil, offers greater stability. The fatty acids in seal oil are primarily sn-1 and sn-3, while those in fish oil are sn-2, making seal oil less susceptible to lipid peroxidation. This ensures a longer shelf life and a safer oil that oxidizes less easily.
Better absorption
The triglyceride structure of seal oil allows for more efficient digestion and absorption by your pet's body. Since the seal is a mammal, just like your dog or cat, its oil is optimally metabolized, promoting better absorption of omega-3 fatty acids into the body's tissues.
ADP: an additional advantage
One of the major advantages of seal oil is its ADP (Docosapentaenoic Acid) content, an omega-3 fatty acid rarely found in significant quantities in fish oil. ADP has beneficial properties, particularly for blood vessel regeneration and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. ADP has been shown to be 10 times more effective than EPA and can increase EPA and DHA levels in the body, thus optimizing the overall effect of omega-3s.
