Marine ingredients company Grøntvedt launched their marine branded ingredient CETO3®, an omega-11 ingredient, which recent studies have shown to reduce total cholesterol, increase Omega-3 index, and have a positive effect on skin health.
CETO3® contains high levels of Omega-11, also known as cetoleic acid. Early studies on Omega-11 have found it stimulates the body’s own production of EPA/DHA by converting it from ALA, increasing the Omega-3 index, improving skin health, and reducing LDL cholesterol.
Studies with oils rich in Omega-11 (cetoleic acid) have significantly shown improvements in LDL cholesterol, insulin sensitivity, and glucose levels. These are areas where standard fish oil with EPA/DHA has shown low or no effects. A recently published pre-clinical study showed that the Omega-11 group reduced cholesterol by 14% after five weeks. The reduction of cholesterol by 3% is believed to reduce major coronary heart disease (CHD) risk by 15% in humans.
The Omega-3 index study conducted with CETO3®, by Mike Wakeman, a researcher from the University of Sunderland, found that CETO3® - Omega-11 stimulated the body’s own production of EPA/DHA significantly compared to the fish oil group. The published study shows that the CETO3® EPA/DHA pro-rata efficiency is 68% better than standard fish oil due to the internal production of EPA/DHA, enhanced by Omega-11.
There are six studies funded by the Norwegian seafood research fund investigating the effect of Omega-11 in humans. Come and learn more at our booth #3519 at SupplySide West.
Grøntvedt’s immediate processing, from fresh fish to oil in less than 30 minutes, enables Grøntvedt Biotech to optimize the CETO3® product with unique sensory qualities, broadening the applications for use from capsules to liquid formulations. High Omega-11 is only found in North Atlantic pelagic fish.
Short key takeaways for CETO3®:
- CETO3® - Omega-11 is derived from Norwegian pelagic fish.
- Harvested and produced in Norway.
- Immediately processed, from fresh fish to oil in 30 minutes.
- Strong scientific program funded by the Norwegian seafood research fund.
