Description

Poraox® Ratfish Liver Oil is a precious, nutritional powerhouse, with a full spectrum of omega fatty acids, phytosterols and alkylglycerols.

Alkylglycerols — which are naturally occurring ether lipids with potent antioxidants – support the immune system.* And, studies show they may help to protect the body from free radicals.* 

Our Ratfish Liver Oil has a mild, buttery taste and is sourced from one of the oldest fish species known to man — the Ratfish (Chimaera monstrosa). So abundant in rare nutrients, the Norwegian Vikings and Scandinavian fishermen used ratfish liver oil holistically and regarded it as a treasured gift from the sea.*

The Poraox® family continues to create ratfish liver oil today, to share rich, ancient sustenance with people who are passionate about real food supplements. It’s the only Ratfish Liver Oil in the world — and it’s fresh, raw and unadulterated. Sourced from a prehistoric, unique species (with striking blue eyes, spots and a tail!), nothing comes close.

When you try a bottle, you’ll experience: 

  • 100% ratfish liver oil, wild-caught from the pristine Norwegian fjords
  • Unprocessed, raw and additive-free
  • A concentration of alkylglycerols (biologically active lipids)
  • A full spectrum of omega fatty acids, including omega-3 EPA and DHA + phytosterols
  • Pure oil with a unique lipid profile and naturally occurring antioxidants help maintain freshness
  • So stable that nitrogen flushing is not needed
  • Handcrafted in small batches 
  • A mild, buttery taste
  • Also available in convenient softgels

What is Ratfish Liver Oil?

Ratfish belong to the subclass Holocephali, which dates back to the Devonian period, over 400 million years ago. This makes them one of the oldest groups of jawed vertebrates, and they only swim in deep waters.

If you’re unfamiliar with this supplement, it’s the real oil in the cells of fresh liver from the ratfish (Chimaera monstrosa). An ancient, whole food that’s straw-colored and gentle in flavor and scent. 

We craft Poraox® Extra Virgin Ratfish Oil using a rare, generations-old cold extraction technique that naturally releases the oil from the hand-picked livers (with a gentle temperature shift). This can only be accomplished with healthy livers from freshly caught, wild ratfish.

Then, it's gently purified using a natural ocean substance that binds to contaminants, followed by filtering.

To protect and preserve the oil’s inherent nutrients, we never use heat, chemicals, steam, metals or mechanical pressure. This all means your Ratfish Liver Oil maintains the same form and nutritional composition that nature gave it.

  • Those looking for a completely natural supplement that’s high in alkylglycerols.*

Benefits

Poraox® Ratfish Liver Oil contains a vibrant, naturally-occurring nutrient profile that includes:

  • Alkylglycerols: Biologically active lipids with antioxidant properties
  • A full spectrum of omega fatty acids: Including omega-3 EPA and DHA, 4, 6, 7, 9, and 11
  • Phytosterols (plant sterols) and quinones (dietary plant compounds): Campesterol, stigmasterol and ∆5-avenasterol, and a natural class of organic compounds

According to published scientific studies, these nutrients support the body in many ways, such as:

  • Supporting the heart, cells, brain and circulatory system*
  • Supports defenses to free radical damage* 
  • Contributing to a relaxed, positive mindset

Ratfish Liver Oil is also a fat-soluble, real food supplement, meaning your oil is absorbed along with healthy fats in your diet and can be stored in your body's fatty tissue for long-term use.*

Ratfish are distinct from skate fish (rays and sharks, too), with a different nutrient profile. Other fish oils may claim to have alkylglycerols, yet they don't compare to Poraox's nutrient profile and alkylglycerol content.

Dosage

Best taken with food, as needed.

  • Adults: Take 18 drops daily.
  • Children and sensitive individuals: Take 6 drops daily.
  • Low and slow: Poraox® is premium and pure. Therefore, it’s essential to start slowly, with a lower dosage than recommended. For example, a very small dose every other day, or even once a week, until you can determine how the supplement affects your body and what dosage feels right for you.

Storage

  • Store Poraox® Ratfish Liver Oil in the refrigerator or freezer.
  • Shelf life for unopened bottles: 3 years from production date if stored in the fridge, 5 years if stored in the freezer.
  • Shelf life for opened bottles: Once opened, store Poraox® Ratfish Liver Oil in the refrigerator and consume within 3 months. Replace cap after every use and return to the fridge to extend freshness.
  • Worth the price

    It is a rather expensive product for good reason. It's clean, and well produced. The effects on the mind are immediately noticeable even before the body processes it.

  • Quality

    The quality of these products is amazing. I bought the ratfish liver oil because I got an email from Poraox saying it is milder in flavor but has a similar nutritional profile to cod liver. My toddler won't take the cod liver oil, I've had better luck with the ratfish oil. It is slightly milder in fishy flavor. The quality is there, it is pleasantly fishy. Thank you Poraox.

  • Very palatable

    The ratfish liver oil is very palatable. My kids take no problem.

  • Excellent product

    I can always tell a difference in my skin and eyes, and overall wellbeing when I take Poraox’s ratfish liver oil. It also has a very mild, pleasant taste.

  • Sleep well- rejuvenated

    It helps with focus and clarity. Has improved my sleep and I feel refreshed in the morning.

  • Banking the nutritional profile is as it says

    I don’t notice a difference in my health issues, so I’m after the nutritional profile that it claims. Those are where my needs lie. Good nutrition as medicine. I buy it when I can afford it. I’ve used cod liver oil for years and this oil is an extra “treat” to myself. But I do trust Poraox quality.
