Nordic Naturals Fish Oil
Nordic Naturals fish oils are very high quality. Nordic Naturals Fish Oil contains more DHA with an EPA:DHA ratio of 1.4:1 as compared to the 2:1 ratio that was used in many studies. Based on the comparative daily dose (2.5 g omega-3 fatty acids EPA & DHA/day) a bottle will last for about 15 days.
Nordic Naturals fish oil are one of the largest and most popular Nordic fish oil supplements. Their fish oil supplements are manufactured in Norway. Their products are pharmaceutical grade fish oil based on a quality level that exceeds both the Norwegian Medicinal and European Pharmacopoeia Standards.
Their products are muscularly distilled utilizing the latest distillation technology and this process guarantees the removal of potential heavy metals (lead, mercury, etc.), PCB, and dioxins. Low heat and ultra short residence time is used during the distillation process to ensure positively no damage to the oil. A final enzyme process is applied to ensure a burp free product. They also utilize a proprietary nitrogen environment to achieve industry leading freshness levels.
The company was founded by Norwegian-born, Joar Opheim, after he discovered a lack of fish oils when first arriving in the United States over 20 years ago. Joar Opheim made it his goal to advance the quality of fish oils by improving the purity, taste and structure of the oils through molecular distillation.
This process removes potential heavy metals (such as lead and mercury), PCB’s and dioxins. Incidentally, Nordic Naturals fish oil claim to have the lowest dioxin level (less than 0.4 per trillion), which is supposed to be the lowest in the world.
Today, Nordic Naturals has one of the largest lines of Nordic fish oil products, including fruit-flavored liquids and capsules, and fish oils for dogs and cats.
Back in the 1980’s, there were few authentic Nordic fish oils that were highly purified and tasted great.
All of Nordic Naturals fish oils are made in Norway. The company adheres to sustainable fishing and catch only small wild fish such as sardines, arctic cod and anchovies. These smaller fish are higher in omega 3 fatty acids and less likely to contain higher levels of mercury and impurities found in larger fish. They use low heat during the distillation process to minimize potential heat-damage to the oil. The fish oil is then subjected to an enzyme process to give you a ‘burp-free’ product.
