Increasing awareness among consumers about health, diet, and fitness has helped improve lifestyles greatly. In the recent years, consumers have become more conscious of their diet intake. Fatty acids such as omega-3 offer various health benefits. Omega-3 fatty acids comprise of acidic contents such as Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).

Omega-3 EPA/DHA content has the ability to reduce the level of unwanted cholesterol in the human body, thereby lowering the risk of coronary heart diseases and blood pressure disorders.

With urbanization increasing worldwide, this trend is expected to continue for a long period.
