Omax3® Ultra-Pure™ has been shown in clinical studies to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels and promote heart health.

  • Omax3 Ultra-Pure delivers more than 91% pure omega-3 content

  • Over 10 times the Omega-3 content found in Krill Oil

  • Developed by Physicians affiliated with Yale University

  • Patented 4 to 1 EPA:DHA ratio


All omega-3 supplements are not the same

Some supplements may contain more than omega-3. And some of that "extra" content you could do without, such as saturated fats, including unwanted omega-6 fatty acids, and toxins like mercury, lead, and PCBs commonly found in fish. Omax3 Ultra-Pure attains exceptional purity through a double distillation process that eliminates these additional substances. All batches are 3rd party tested twice for quality assurance.

Developed by physicians affiliated with Yale University in 2005, we possess research suggesting a significant advantage of a 4:1 ratio of EPA to DHA that allows for the optimal expression of the advantages of both EPA and DHA. This advantage has been demonstrated in pre-clinical and clinical studies across several measures of effectiveness. OMAX3® has significant potential as a mass-marketed omega-3 dietary supplement brand.  With its high concentration of omega-3 and its production using cGMP manufacturing standards, OMAX3® has the capacity to increase its market share in the omega-3 supplement marketplace. 

A significant advantage of our product is its purity and concentration of omega-3 as compared to other omega-3 products where dose response drives product effectiveness (i.e. a person is required to take substantial dosages of omega-3 to obtain its true benefits). In 2011, the American Heart Association suggested that a person ingest between 1 to 1.5 grams of omega-3 per day. Users of other over-the–counter omega-3 products would need to take substantially more tablets relative to the OMAX3® product in order to achieve a comparable level of effectiveness.

Omax3® Eye-Health

How does the omax3® formula support eye health?

omax3® Eye Health™ was specifically formulated by physicians at Yale University to achieve a balance of EPA and DHA (4:1) that support a proper inflammatory response in the body. This helps reduce the inflammation that can inhibit the production of tears and promote healthy levels of eye moisture. In fact, a study has shown that omax3® Eye Health may promote proper inflammatory responses better than omega-3 supplements with ratios of 1:1 and 7:1.3*

The patented omega-3 formula is the difference.

Omega-3 fatty acids and lutein, like those found in omax3® Eye Health, have been shown to:

  • Enhance eye moisture4*
  • Support tear production5,6*
  • Support macular pigment health*
  • Support a proper inflammatory 
  • response in the body*

Prevention is planning several brand extensions to include additional active ingredients added to the OMAX3® patented omega-3 PUFA.  These multiple ingredient brand extensions will provide the brand with continued technological superiority.  Planned OMAX3®  brand extensions include a dermatological extension, a mood health extension, and a maximum dose product version. Depending upon its financial resources, the Company hopes to launch a dermatology product within the next 18 months and other products on a schedule to be determined.

OMAX3® Eye-Health is the first OMAX3® brand extension. 

OMAX3® Eye-Health,is a superior formulation over existing products currently recommended by ophthalmologists and optometrists. The product has a higher concentration of omega-3 fatty acids and lutein available for a range of Eye Health issues and is being sold via medical professional sales team into a physician channel that has a mature retail environment driven by eyeglass, contact lenses, eye drop and increasingly dietary supplements sales. The OMAX3® Eye Health product also contains a lutein product (FloraGLO® brand) believed to benefit dry eye. The protective effects of lutein or zeaxanthin contained in OMAX3® Eye Health, were reported to be similar to those of vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol), according to the journal Molecular Vision, dated August 30, 2011. 

The study adds to other studies that support the role of lutein and zeaxanthin for eye health, with the majority supporting their role against age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of legal blindness for people over 55 years of age in the Western world, according to AMD Alliance International Lutein is naturally deposited as a protective layer in the macula, a small spot in the back of the eye responsible for central vision. This layer, known as macular pigment, works like internal sunglasses inside one’s eyes protecting them from damaging light. Healthy macular pigment can improve one’s ability to react to bright flashes of light or see objects against a similar background – critical to driving at night or enjoying outdoor sports. To keep eyes healthy and protect them as they age, research indicates that people need 10 mg of lutein everyday through dietary sources and products containing lutein.
