Why Nordic Naturals?
Great
Taste
Nordic Naturals sets the standard for Freshness, Purity, and Taste in Omega-3
supplements. Leading health care practitioners and research institutions recommend the Nordic Naturals brand because they are the freshest, purist,
and best tasting essential fatty acids available.
It is not a secret that most Americans do not eat fish, or supplement with fish oil due to one obstacle: Fishy taste or aftertaste!
Nordic Naturals has overcome these obstacles in order to help more Americans benefit from the many confirmed health advantages of consuming
Omega-3 fatty acids at any age!
Anyone that has grown up in Norway, such as the president of our company, knows that their Cod Liver oil is a daily staple. Taste was not an issue,
because the generations before had confirmed that the many benefits far outweigh momentary dislike.
However, the same argument cannot be applied to the cultivated taste of today's American children, so to continue the tradition and health benefits, we
developed our Ultimate Omega Children's DHA Formula.
Derived from Arctic Norwegian Cod liver, our Children's DHA Formula features strawberry flavor in both the gelatin and the oil. Our capsules are small
enough for children over two years old (smaller than a pea), and can even be chewed for a burst of great strawberry taste!
All of Nordic Naturals formulas are enhanced with 100% natural strawberry, lemon, and orange flavoring in the oil and soft gelatin capsule through an
exclusive and patented flavoring process. Due to the advanced enzymatic processing, and the freshness and purity of all of our oils, fishy after taste and
"repeat" are not a concern.

Exceptional Freshness
Nordic Naturals uses a nitrogen manufacturing environment where there is no opportunity for oxidation to occur, thus preventing rancidity
(free radicals). We also incorporate a synergistic blend of powerful antioxidants, made specifically as a natural product to stabilize fats and reduce the
effects of oxidation. This is our foundation for uncompromising freshness.
Polyunsaturated oils (i.e.: flax oil,
fish oil, evening primrose oil, etc.) are highly susceptible
to "peroxidation", which is a technical term for
rancidity when exposed to oxygen. In order to prevent this
process from happening, Nordic Naturals has added a natural
blend of advanced antioxidants to "stabilize" their
oils and protect them from becoming rancid. This blend consists
of lecithin, ascorbyl palmitate (vitamin C), added vitamin
E with both gamma and alpha tocopherols. An independent analysis
has shown that this natural blend of antioxidants can stabilize
fish oil up to 20 times longer than standard antioxidants,
which translates into – better
taste and better results!

Advanced Purity
Distillation required by Norwegian
Medicinal Requirements
Nordic Naturals’ goal is to deliver
the highest quality Omega-3 fatty acid products available.
We measure the quality of our Omega-3 products based on three
variables: Freshness value (meq/kg), Purity (PCB ppb), and
Concentration level (% DHA & EPA). Our products are manufactured
according to European Pharmacopoeia, Norwegian Medicinal,
and GMP requirements.
Our product quality exceeds all these requirements, which
is mainly due to our molecular distillation process. We distill
all of our Omega-3 products for purity.
Nordic Naturals Omega-3 oils are Third Party tested with positively
no PCBs, heavy metals, or dioxins. Our oils have been tested
down to 2.5 ppb exceeding FDA purity levels by 400 times.
Sustained Molecular Distillation
Here, the virgin oil is molecularly distilled
to segregate out the two most important Omega-3 fatty acids
DHA and EPA, and to eliminate the potential of heavy metals,
PCBs, and dioxins in the product. The molecular distillation
process represents a gentle and efficient oil enhancement,
and generally takes about 5 days to process. The entire manufacturing
process is carried out under nitrogen or vacuum.
This is done to maximize the products’ freshness value,
which facilitates the production of favorable prostaglandins.
Prostaglandins control an array of vital bodily functions.
Through the use of molecular distillation we are able to deliver
Omega-3 products with concentration levels above 80%. A final
nitrogen flush removes oxygen, preserving the oil from oxidation
and maintaining the ultra low peroxide value.
Third
party testing shows positively no PCBs or heavy metals,
exceeding FDA purity levels by 400 times. Nordic Naturals
oils have been tested down to 2.5 particles per billion
(a first in the U.S.).
