It is one of the most extensively researched omega-3 fatty acids due to its significant role in supporting cardiovascular health, brain function, immune response, and healthy inflammatory balance.

EPA is widely used in dietary supplements, softgel capsules, functional beverages, medical nutrition products, and pharmaceutical preparations.

Partner with Yangge for Premium Microalgal EPA Solutions

Yangge Biotech provides pharmaceutical-grade EPA that is derived from Nannochloropsis microalgae that are grown in a way that doesn't hurt the environment. This gives R&D teams and production managers a clean-label Omega-3 source for use in health supplements, functional foods, and cosmetics. Our cultivation and extraction operations are vertically integrated, which means that each batch is the same. This reduces the risk of scaling from the initial formulation stage to commercial manufacturing, and our extensive certifications, which include ISO, HACCP, Kosher, and Halal, allow us to access markets in a wide range of regulatory environments. Our green oleoresin is more bioavailable than other sources because it has a concentration of more than 220 mg/g and a polar lipid content of more than 50%.

Technical help includes advice on how to make the product, information on how stable it is, and third-party analytical confirmation through relationships with well-known labs around the world. Flexible packaging that can hold anywhere from 1 kg for testing purposes to large business amounts can work with both new ideas and established production plans. Contact our apps team at info@yanggebiotech.com to get samples and talk about how our microalgal EPA manufacturer services can help your business by adding high-performance, environmentally-friendly Omega-3 ingredients to your products.
