Why does OmegaKrill contain titanium dioxide?Updated 3 months ago

Titanium dioxide is naturally opaque in color and reflects light very well, which is helpful in protecting delicate omega-3 fatty acids from light and oxidation. Adding a very small amount of titanium dioxide to the softgel results in an opaque softgel that provides an important level of protection against rancidity. 

Titanium dioxide is a naturally-occurring mineral that is considered safe and inert, and its use in foods, pharmaceuticals, and dietary supplements is approved by the FDA. It is commonly used as a pigment (i.e., coloring agent) in capsules, tablets, and softgels. According to the Pharmaceutical Excipients handbook, titanium dioxide is a non-irritant and non-toxic excipient. Our products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
