Summary
Marine Lipid Extract EAB-277® is a proprietary blend of marine-derived omega-3 fatty acids, primarily sourced from green-lipped mussels and krill. It is supplied as a stabilised extract to preserve the integrity of its bioactive compounds.
This ingredient provides eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which support joint health, skin condition, and cognitive function in dogs. When included at recommended levels, it is considered safe; excessive intake of marine lipids may increase the risk of gastrointestinal upset or interfere with blood clotting.
Why it's used?
Marine Lipid Extract EAB-277® is included in dog food formulations primarily to provide omega-3 fatty acids, which support joint and skin health in dogs, while also offering manufacturers a functional ingredient that can differentiate their products in the market. Its use benefits both the animal’s wellbeing and the manufacturer’s product positioning.
