Omega-3 Softgel Contract Manufacturing

We contract manufacture Omega-3 Softgel Capsules — fish oil, krill oil and algal Omega-3 — for nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and wellness brands. Oxidation-controlled processing, deodorized fill options, Gelatin & Vegetarian shells, and private label supply backed by 50+ million capsules/month capacity.

Omega-3 Softgel Contract Manufacturing

A Manufacturing Partner Built for Omega-3 Softgels

Omega-3 is one of the most widely sold nutraceutical categories in the world, and it is also one of the least forgiving to manufacture. Fish oil and other marine-derived oils oxidize easily, carry a strong natural odor and flavor, and are sensitive to heat and light — all of which can show up as a rancid smell, a fishy aftertaste or reduced potency if the manufacturing process is not controlled carefully. As a dedicated Softgel manufacturer, Omega-3 softgel contract manufacturing is a core part of what we do, not a side formulation added onto a general supplement line.

Our process is built around the specific challenges of oil-based marine formulations — from raw oil handling and deodorization considerations through to encapsulation, oxidation-aware storage and finished product testing — so that brands can contract manufacture Omega-3 Softgels with predictable quality, batch after batch.

Omega-3 Source Types We Manufacture

Fish Oil, Krill Oil & Algal Omega-3 Softgels

Not every Omega-3 product is built the same way. We support contract manufacturing across the main Omega-3 source categories, so your brand can position its product against the specific claims and audience it is targeting.

Fish Oil Omega-3

The most widely manufactured Omega-3 Softgel format, typically standardized for EPA and DHA content, available with deodorized or flavored fill options.

Krill Oil Omega-3

A phospholipid-bound marine oil format, manufactured for brands positioning around absorption and premium marine-source claims.

Algal (Vegetarian) Omega-3

A non-fish, algae-derived DHA/EPA source manufactured on our Vegetarian Softgel platform, for plant-based and vegetarian audiences.

Why Brands Choose Us for Omega-3

A Softgel-Only Facility Handling a Sensitive Category

Because our facility manufactures Softgel Capsules only, our equipment, staff training and quality checks are all designed around oil-based, oxidation-sensitive fills like Omega-3 — not adapted from a tablet or powder production line.

What We Handle From Formulation to Dispatch

Our Omega-3 contract manufacturing service covers the full journey from a formulation concept or existing specification through to packed, ready-to-sell stock.

Formulation Review & Trial Batches

We review your target EPA/DHA ratio, oil source and shell type, then run a trial batch to confirm appearance, odor control and stability before scale-up.

Oxidation & Odor Management

Handling, blending and encapsulation practices designed to limit oxidation exposure and manage the natural fishy odor associated with marine oils.

Commercial & Contract Manufacturing

Recurring, high-volume Omega-3 Softgel production runs sized to your monthly or quarterly order pattern.

Private Label & Third Party

Omega-3 formulations manufactured and packed under your own brand, or on a third party basis for PCD and franchise partners.

Packaging & Finishing

Bottle, blister and carton packing options selected for light and oxygen protection alongside your brand presentation.

Testing & Documentation

Batch manufacturing records and finished product testing documentation to support your regulatory and customer requirements.

How We Manufacture Omega-3 Softgels

Our Omega-3 Contract Manufacturing Process

Because oxidation-sensitive oils need tighter handling than many other Softgel fills, our process includes dedicated checkpoints for oil quality and stability at each stage.

The additional stability check step, ahead of full scale-up, is specific to how we handle oxidation-sensitive Omega-3 formulations compared with more stable Softgel fills.

Manufacturing Platforms

Gelatin & Vegetarian Shells for Omega-3 Softgels

Your Omega-3 formulation is not limited to one shell type. We manufacture Omega-3 Softgels on both our Gelatin-based and Vegetarian platforms, matching the shell to your oil source and target consumer.

Gelatin-Based

Gelatin Omega-3 Softgels

Suited to fish oil and krill oil formulations, our high-volume core platform for Omega-3 supplement brands.

Plant-Based

Vegetarian Omega-3 Softgels

Compatible with algal DHA/EPA oil, for brands positioning Omega-3 products toward vegetarian and plant-based consumers.

Quality & Oxidation Control

Why Oxidation Control Matters for Omega-3 Softgels

Marine oils are naturally prone to oxidation, which can degrade potency and produce an off odor or rancid taste if raw material handling, blending and storage are not controlled. Our GMP-driven Quality Assurance and Quality Control systems apply oxidation-aware checks across raw material intake, encapsulation and finished product testing specifically for Omega-3 and other oil-based Softgel formulations.

For a category this sensitive, consistent quality is not just about following a checklist — it is about understanding why each step exists.

Launch an Omega-3 Product Under Your Own Brand

Omega-3 remains one of the highest-demand supplement categories for new and existing nutraceutical brands, but building an in-house manufacturing line for an oxidation-sensitive oil is a significant undertaking. Our private label and third party manufacturing service lets you bring an Omega-3 Softgel product to market — fish oil, krill oil or algal — manufactured, tested and packed under your brand, without building that capability yourself.

This applies equally to nutraceutical start-ups launching their first Omega-3 SKU, established pharma companies expanding into the category, and PCD franchise partners who need a dependable Omega-3 product to support their distribution network.

Private Label Omega-3 Options
  • Fish oil, krill oil or algal Omega-3 formulations
  • Gelatin or Vegetarian shell, to match your positioning
  • Deodorized or flavored fill options where applicable
  • Bottle, blister or carton packing under your artwork
  • Batch documentation to support your brand's claims
