What is Mossbunker Oil?
Mossbunker oil is extracted from the menhaden fish, also known as mossbunker, which is native to the Atlantic coastal waters of North America. This oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and is primarily used in the production of animal feed, fertilizers, and in some cases, dietary supplements. It is not typically used in direct human food applications but may be present in processed foods as a source of omega-3s or fats.
