Water-Soluble Fish Oil and Omega-3 Fatty Acids...Anyone?
Zymes LLC has been able to successfully solubilize fish oil and omega-3 fatty acids (DHA/EPA/ALA) through its solubilization technology: Ubisol-Aquaâ„¢.

This solubilization technology provides a superior platform for solubilizing omega-3 fatty acids and other water- insoluble lipophilic compounds for foods, beverages, nutritional supplements, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

To achieve solubilization, Ubisol-Aquaâ„¢ uses nanotechnology and complexation to reformulate and improve solubility of drugs, nutrient and cosmetic ingredients that are water-insoluble and therefore difficult for the human body to absorb. Using this combined approach, Zymes delivers new water- soluble omega-3 fatty acids with an average particle size of 34 nanometers.


The technology - Ubisol-Aquaâ„¢ - is available for licensing, provides improved solubility, enhanced bioavailability and particle size reduction to the nanometer level and is being offered by Zymes to industry partners in need of more effective ways of making their ingredients water-soluble and thus more bioavailable.

Based in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ - Zymes LLC is a bio-science company that combines science, technology and nature to create products that improve the quality of life.

Imagine this: omega 3-fortified grape juice or fish oil in apple juice?

Well, I guess they'd better come up with a palatable combination.
