The Nu-Mega Story

Nu-Mega Ingredients Pty Ltd is one of the world’s leading suppliers of microencapsulated omega-3 and omega-6 powders, emulsions and nutritional oils. The company is a subsidiary of Clover Corporation, which listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in 1999 (CLV).

Clover’s origins date back nearly three decades, when a small family company had a vision of improving people’s health with omega-3 fatty acids. The business initially focused on omega-3 supplementation for use in infant formula and achieved a world-first introduction in 1996 of polyunsaturated fatty acids via soft gel capsule.
