    We created the omega-3 pharma market

    Over 20 years ago with our drugs Omacor® and Lovaza® - the world’s first omega-3 fatty-acid-based drug for cardiovascular disease – we created the omega-3 pharma market. We pioneered the use of omega-3s as pharmaceuticals and successfully proved the potency of omega-3s in patients suffering from cardiovascular disease and developed the reference standard for prescription omega-3 ethyl ester 90 .

    Sustainability

    Our product – made from fish oil – can be traced along the entire value chain, back to healthy fish stocks.

    BASF Omega-3 Verbund operates FDA-approved production facilities in Norway and Scotland and the headquarters in Oslo, Norway, as well as production plants in Denmark and Germany.
