Trimega
bio-available omega 3
Learning - Eyesight - Cardiovascular - Joints - Skin & Coat - Immune System - Senility - Itching
In all of these vitally important areas there is now an overwhelming body of evidence that EPA and DHA Omega 3 fatty acids from fish play a major role in contributing to good health, longevity and achievement of full potential.
Salmon Oil Helps Puppies Learning
Omega 3 is essential for brain development in puppies and evidence exists to show that supplementation can produce positive results.
Eukeneba carried out trials on puppies who were taught how to recognise shapes that led them to a treat. After 5 days training twice the number of puppies fed on the high Omega 3 DHA diet achieved an 80% success rate (in finding the treat in a T-shaped maze). Research by the IAMS pet food company also indicates that the fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in fish oils promotes better brain development in puppies
Omega 3 Oils for Older Dogs
In the same way that all of our functions decline with age,the same is true of your dog.
There is considerable evidence now that all of these functions decline more slowly if the diet contains sufficient Omega 3 fatty acids.
The most significant areas are the eyes, brain (senility), the coat and the nervous system including the heart.
It’s a vast subject and so we have provided a link here to a separate compilation of Clinical studies for those readers wishing to go into greater depth.
Higher Bio-availability
Trimega is the first nutritional supplement for dogs that carries the omega 3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, directly to the tissues as naturally occurring marine phospholipids. These phospholipids aid in transporting the EPA and DHA through cellular membranes directly to specific cellular targets, such as cardiac and neural cells.
Phospholipids have been clinically demonstrated to have superior bio-availability compared to other fish oils. Research has shown that because the marine phospholipids contain DHA and EPA in a specific location on the carbon chain, they are up to 50 times more absorbable than pressed fish oils* by cell membranes.

DHA/EPA without the calories
Because Trimega EPA/DHA is in the phosopholipd form, it is more bio-avalable for incorporation into cells.
2/3 of the EPA/DHA fatty acids in ordinary fish oil are not absorbed into cells but are consumed as calories
Overall, 90% of ordinary fish oil is consumed as calories, making up to 5-10% of your dog's daily calorie requirement. This can lead to a serious risk of obesity.
Ingredients
Phosholipid/Peptide complex (containing EPA/DHA fatty acid phospholipid) extracted from Atlantic Salmon,
It is a combination of fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, anti-oxidants and protein peptides – extracted using a patented process.
High temperatures and harsh chemical are avoided completely – leaving this whole food as close to nature intended as it’s possible to be. It exceeds all known safety standards for heavy metal, dioxins etc and is approved by EU and FDA regulations.
Selinomethionine, Marine algae extracts from Kelp to provide trace minerals, Fish oil powder, Maltodextrin, Zinc Gluconate to support skin and coat health.
Per scoop; 90mg phospholipid DHA/EPA fatty acids. Equivalent to 1080mg DHA/EPA from pressed salmon oil.
Feeding
Unlike traditional Salmon and Cod Liver liquid oils, Trimega is in granule form and therefore it is both easier to measure out and cleaner to handle. It has the added bonus of having no fishy odour – although it tastes of fish – so dogs love it! Trimega’s palatable granules are sprinkled onto or mixed into your dog’s food daily.
Because the omega oils in Trimega are as much as 50 times more absorbable as ordinary fish oil, the amount required is smaller than with a liquid oil.
We recommend 1 scoop (1900mg) per 20 kilos of body weight daily.
