Overview of innovation

Omega Caro-E Emulsion is created through a patented process developed at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. It is used in the production of a range of Omega Caro-E products that combine Omega-3 fatty acids with 11 different carotenoids and five different forms of vitamin E, all derived from palm oil and manufactured by a world-patented process in Malaysia. It also contains 50% of the daily requirement for vitamin D. The concept was created and developed in South Africa, and it is only now that international companies are following suit. The current consensus is that this approach will become the method of choice in the near future. Users of the product claim that problems such as eczema, psoriasis, arthritis, and general health improve with regular use of the product.
