1 Do you choose the best Omega-3 supplement? Learn what most people do not know about Omega-3 s Minami Nutrition. Purveyors of supercritically different Omega-3 s, backed by scientific proof with unprecedented purity and concentration!

2 Commitment to Your Health: Our philosophy is simple. We will not provide you with an Omega-3 supplement that is like the rest. Instead, we make our oils and ensure they undergo a one-of-kind, patented technology that guarantees you unprecedented concentration, purity and benefit. This is why we live by the adage, Good is the Enemy of the Best. As the founder, I proudly place my name on every product and guarantee satisfaction. Jo Wyckmans, Founder and CEO, Minami Nutrition Good is the Enemy of the Best Minami Nutrition understands that it is dealing with peoples expectations surrounding their own health and has formulated a range of hexane-free Omega-3 fatty acid supplements that are the highest purity, concentration and quality as well as environmentally conscious. Instead of simply being good we are known as the best as we have created the only EFP pharmaceutical grade fish oil on the market that does not use hexane in production. Instead we use a patented Supercritical CO 2 EFP (Environmentally Friendly Purified) distillation process, which is supported by renowned Omega-3 fat scientists to ensure we employ the most advanced and rigorous product development techniques to best serve 1 s of thousands of loyal customers around the world. We haven t gone green, we started that way The company s green attitude is shown by the fact that it doesn t obtain fish from over-fished waters instead reeling them in from sustainable oceans close to antarctica. The oils are not processed by using chemical solvents like hexane that could be hazardous to the environment. And by using smaller fish, such as anchovy and mackerel as well as our unique process the level of possible contaminants is significantly lowered. These and other reasons have resulted in receipt of the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) status, a very stringent European environmental standard. Minami Nutrition receives positive support from the leading figures in Omega-3 fatty acid and nutrition research by providing incredible quality and efficacious fish oil supplements.

3 Why Supercritical CO 2 instead of Molecular Distillation Additionally, while every fish oil supplement is manufactured using molecular - or liquid chromatography distillation, Minami Nutrition oils are produced by supercritical CO 2 distillation extraction process. Comparison of the extraction and purification methods for Omega-3 oils Minami Nutrition SUPERCRITICAL CO 2 TECHNOLOGY MOLECULAR DISTILLATION LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY Use of organic solvents No No Yes Risk of end product being contaminated with traces of organic solvents Oxidative stress through high temperatures No No Yes No (< 5 c) Yes (16-2 C) No Risk of formation of isomers No Yes No Risk of undesired exposure to oxygen Very unlikely Unlikely Possible Efficient removal of contaminants (heavy metals, pesticides, dioxins, PCBs, furans, etc.) Sufficiently high separation selectivity to produce highly concentrated EPA and/or DHA? Yes Yes Limited Yes No Yes Environmental impact Low Medium High The procedure uses 4 percent less temperature with no oxygen exposure, which maintains Omega-3 integrity so they provide their full health benefit. In addition, this method ensures that there are no saturated fats a far cry from 99 percent of fish oils sold worldwide that have unacceptable high levels of saturated fats that impede your body s ability to use Omega-3 s. Under pressure and at low temperature, CO 2 (Supercritical CO 2 ) acts as a fat-loving solvent that pulls out the Omega-3 fatty acids from the fish oil. This hexane-free extraction is innovative as it removes the 2 essential fatty acids, EPA and DHA, without altering their quality and maintaining their chemical integrity as essential dietary fats in the body. These Omega-3 fatty acids are then ready to be delivered to the body through supplementation and bolster health in their purest state, without pollutants. Minami Nutrition Omega supplements have received awards from the American ConsumerLab.com as the highest concentrated Omega-3 product and in United Kingdom for the best tasting fish oil. The diagram on the left illustrates the differences between Supercritical CO 2 EFP distillation process used by Minami Nutrition and molecular - or liquid chromatography distillation used by other fish oil manufacturers. So what makes Minami Nutrition EFP fish oils different from others brands that you see on the market? When it comes to nutritional supplements, many people find that key ingredients for good health are Omega-3 fats from fish oil. These compounds have been shown to support the maintenance of a healthy heart by reducing triglycerides and managing healthy cholesterol, as well as to assist concentration ability in kids and emotional well-being in adults. However, before you rush out to buy Omega-3 supplements, it s important to remember that not all Omega-3 supplements are created equal. For example, Minami Nutrition s supplements have the highest concentration of Omega-3 fatty acids that is commercially available, so people only have to take one capsule per day to receive benefits. Plus, if the fact that its products are the most pure on the market with lowest possible levels of contaminants is not enough, then the ability for the consumer to prove this, batch by batch, on their website has made fans out of the most skeptical person. The supplements even tackle the age-old problem of fishy aftertaste by adding such natural fruit flavours as orange and strawberry.
