Cantabrian anchovy omega-3: why origin matters

Behind every softgel of our omega-3 there is a decision: to use only Cantabrian anchovy oil. We explain why species and origin are the first quality criterion for an omega-3.

Anchovy, an exceptional oily fish

The anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) is a small, short-lived oily fish that feeds on plankton. It is one of the great treasures of the Cantabrian Sea and a natural source of the long-chain omega-3s EPA and DHA.

The base of the food chain

Heavy metals, such as mercury, build up along the food chain: the larger and longer-lived a predatory fish, the more it accumulates. Anchovy sits at the base of that chain.

The higher up the food chain a species is, the more heavy metals it accumulates over its lifetime. Anchovy sits at the base.

That is why European authorities recommend that the most sensitive groups prioritise small species over large predators. Choosing anchovy means choosing purity from the source.

From the Cantabrian Sea to your routine

Anchovy oil is hard to obtain because anchovy catches are scarce. We source it in direct contact with the Cantabria fish market to bring you an exceptional product: a single species and an origin you can trace.

We also enrich it with natural vitamin E, which helps protect the oil from oxidation, and present it in a format that is gentle on the palate.

Frequently asked questions

Why anchovy and not another fish?

Because it is a small, short-lived fish from the base of the food chain, which accumulates far fewer heavy metals than large species and naturally provides EPA and DHA.

Is the oil from a single species?

Yes: oil exclusively from Cantabrian anchovy.

Does it leave a fishy aftertaste?

It is an oil that is gentle on the palate, designed not to leave an aftertaste. Taking it with a meal is the best way to enjoy it.

Does it contain allergens?

It contains fish. If you are allergic to fish, creatine and magnesium + B6 are your formulas.
