Fish Oil (Omega-3 EPA/DHA) — Manufacturers, Suppliers & Wholesale Price in India
Fish oil is the backbone of the omega-3 supplement trade, quoted on its EPA and DHA content — from standard 18/12 triglyceride oil to 50%+ and 70%+ ethyl-ester and re-esterified triglyceride concentrates.

FAQ
What do "18/12" and "70%" mean on fish oil quotes?
EPA/DHA percentages: 18/12 is standard commodity oil; 50–84% are concentrates (EE or re-esterified TG) for high-potency softgels. Know your per-serving EPA+DHA claim first.
What is TOTOX and why does it matter?
Total oxidation value — the freshness marker for fish oil. Reputable suppliers certify TOTOX ≤ 26 per batch; oxidation is the industry's main quality failure.
EE or rTG — which form should I buy?
Ethyl esters are cheaper and standard for concentrates; rTG claims better bioavailability at a premium. Your market's label conventions decide — specify the form in the enquiry.
Can Indian suppliers deliver finished softgels, not just oil?
Yes — India has a large softgel encapsulation industry; buyers can source bulk oil or contract the finished capsule presentation. *TradeBioIndia is a listing platform and is not a party to any transaction between buyer and supplier.*
