Pet Supplement Industry News | Clifton, NJ
If you need a pet supplement manufacturer that sources high-quality marine ingredients, this announcement is worth your attention. Icelandirect, LLC — a U.S.-based importer, formulator, and manufacturer of premium pet and human nutritional vitamins and supplements — has signed an exclusive strategic supply and distribution agreement with BioMega, a Norway-based biotechnology company with over 20 years of expertise in salmon-derived functional ingredients.
The agreement gives North American pet supplement brands direct access to BioMega’s Salmigo® portfolio: a science-backed line of sustainably sourced salmon oil, hydrolyzed salmon proteins, and bioactive peptides purpose-built for the pet nutrition market.
Why This Partnership Matters for Pet Supplement Brands
The demand for marine-derived functional ingredients in pet supplements is accelerating. Pet parents are increasingly looking for premium, science-backed solutions that support mobility, immunity, digestion, skin and coat health, and overall vitality — and they’re scrutinizing sourcing and sustainability claims more than ever.
For brands sourcing ingredients, that creates both opportunity and pressure. You need ingredients that perform, that your customers trust, and that come with a clean, traceable supply chain story. That’s exactly the gap this Icelandirect–BioMega agreement is designed to fill.
Introducing the Salmigo® Line: Norwegian Salmon Oil and Protein Ingredients
Under the exclusive agreement, Icelandirect will manufacture and distribute three flagship Salmigo® products to pet supplement brands across the U.S. and Canada:
Salmigo® Salmon Oil | A premium sustainably sourced salmon oil produced through BioMega’s circular biorefining process. Salmigo® Salmon Oil delivers superior palatability and purity, making it an ideal omega-3 fatty acid source for both pet supplement and pet food applications. Norwegian-sourced raw materials and advanced biorefining systems ensure batch-to-batch consistency and full traceability. Learn more about Salmigo® Salmon Oil
Salmigo® Protect L60 | A highly digestible, hydrolyzed salmon protein ingredient rich in bioavailable peptides, formulated to support immune function and vitality in companion animals.

Sustainably Sourced Fish Oil: What BioMega’s Circular Biorefining Model Means for Your Brand
Sustainability isn’t a talking point for BioMega — it’s the operational foundation of their production model. Their EU-funded circular-economy methodology is built around a five-principle framework: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rethink. Rather than relying on virgin fish harvests, BioMega upcycles salmon raw materials through accelerated enzymatic hydrolysis, converting underutilized resources into high-value functional ingredients.
For pet supplement manufacturers and pet food brands, this matters. Sustainably sourced ingredients are increasingly important to retail buyers, DTC consumers, and certification bodies. Sourcing Salmigo® salmon oil through Icelandirect gives brands a credible, documented sustainability narrative backed by over two decades of biorefining expertise.
