What is rTG Omega-3?
Omega-3 is broadly divided into three types, and Nature’s Key uses the highest-quality 3rd generation rTG form of Omega-3.
1st Generation(TG form): Extracted from natural fish sources. High levels of satura ted fatty acids, which are not beneficial for
2nd Generation(EE form): In the TG form, satu rated fats and glyce rol are removed and then combined with ethanol to increase purity. The absorption rate is 27-30% lower than in the TG form (Harr is et al., 2007).
3rd Generation(rTG form): The high purity of th e EE form is maintai ned, while convertin g to the rTG form, w hich has the highest absorption rate.

Key Differentiators:
-
Raw Material Supplier? KD Pharma
KD Pharma is the world’s leading company specializing exclusively in the production of Omega-3. -
IFOS 5-Star Certified Raw Material? Yes
IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards) is a globally recognized organization that evaluates and certifies fish oil products based on production facilities, quality, and safety. This includes factors such as oxidation levels, heavy metals, contaminants, concentration, and purity. The 5-Star certification is awarded only to the highest-quality fish oils. - Extraction Method? Supercritical Fluid Extraction & Supercritical Fluid Chromatography
- Supercritical Fluid Extraction: Using carbon dioxide to extract soluble components.
- Supercritical Fluid Chromatography: Applying supercritical carbon dioxide to separate pure Omega-3 from residuals.
- Purity? 98%–84%
- Regular Omega-3 (EE form), often used for animals, has a purity of around 30%, whereas Nature’s Key Omega-3 in rTG form boasts an ultra-high purity ranging from 84% to 98%.
-
Fish Type? Small Fish
Nature’s Key uses small fish species, such as anchovies and sardines, which have lower levels of heavy metals and environmental contaminants. -
Product Type? Fish Gelatin Capsule
Omega-3 is particularly vulnerable to oxidation, which can cause nausea, illness, and in severe cases, cancer. Omega-3 products in pump, liquid, or powder form are easily exposed to air, making them prone to oxidation. To counter this, Nature’s Key uses a gelatin capsule format to better protect the Omega-3. -
Natural Antioxidant? Vitamin E (4mg)
Oxidation can still occur inside the capsules. To prevent this, 4mg of natural antioxidant Vitamin E is added to each capsule. -
PVC Individual Packaging to Prevent Oxidation? Yes
To protect the capsules from oxidation after opening, each one is individually sealed in a PVC blister pack. - Chemical Preservatives? Not Added
- Full Ingredient Disclosure? Yes
-
Final Product Testing? Yes
While there is no requirement to test finished products after manufacturing, Nature’s Key conducts thorough testing on both raw materials and finished products. This includes tests for content accuracy, oxidation levels, heavy metals, and bacteria, all of which have been passed.
