Nordic Naturals develop pure and great tasting Omega Oils. Each batch of fish oils surpasses all national and international pharmaceutical standards for freshness and purity and is free from heavy metals, dioxins, PCBs. Furthermore Nordic Naturals uses an exclusive distillation and nitrogen manufacturing process to ensure no fishy taste or aftertaste.
Derived from Arctic Norwegian Cod liver, Nordic's Children's DHA Formula features strawberry flavor and 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!
Nordic Naturals uses a nitrogen manufacturing environment where there is no opportunity for oxidation to occur, thus preventing rancidity (free radicals). They 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 their foundation for uncompromising freshness.
Polyunsaturated oils (i.e.: flax oil, fish oil, evening primrose oil, etc.) are highly susceptible to peroxidation. 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!
Distillation for Purity & Concentration 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.
Product quality exceeds all these requirements, which is mainly due to our molecular distillation process. All Omega-3 products are distilled 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.
