Partial List of
Clinical Research Studies using Nordic Naturals Fish Oils
Folks we have been deep sea fishing for the best fish oil for months and by George we've got it! I am sure that you have heard about clinical research studies touting the many wonderful health benefits of Omega 3 - 6 - 9 oils, Cod Liver oils, DHA, and EPA. What you probably did not know is that many of these studies were done with the fish oils from Nordic Naturals. Without solicitation, leading research institutions such as Harvard University, Georgetown University, Columbia University, and the National Institute of Health have chosen the Nordic Naturals brand for clinical studies. Nordic Naturals products are currently used in fourteen clinical studies at various research facilities and universities around the world. For a list of some of the research institutions that have chosen Nordic Naturals fish oils to conduct their research click here. So why are so many medical professionals choosing Nordic Naturals fish oils and fish oil blends? Here is why:
Exceeds
International Pharmaceutical Standards
Standards are set
to protect the consumer, but fish oil quality standards
do not exist in the United States. To ensure ongoing
quality, Nordic Naturals adheres to and exceeds the
stringent Norwegian Medicinal Standard (NMS) and the European
Pharmacopoeia Standard (EPS) for all
products. These standards guarantee
quality products by setting maximum
allowances on peroxides, heavy
metals, dioxins, furans, and PCBs. Independently
tested and shown to exceed the strictest standards.

Testing
Nordic Naturals
finished product has been tested 3 times for impurities
(TriGar), as raw material, refined oil and finished
product. Nordic Naturals test limits exceed all national
and international pharmaceutical standards for purity
and freshness.
Exceptional
Freshness Levels
Freshness, which
ensures product integrity and biological efficacy, may
be the single most important quality of fish oils.
Oxidated oils cannot be absorbed by the human body.
Oxidated oils produce free radicals. Oils with a
peroxide value (meq/kg) above 10 may not be used for
human consumption.
Nordic Naturals’ patented manufacturing process
utilizes a nitrogen environment and high vacuum to
minimize heat. As a result of this oxygen-free
manufacturing process, Nordic Naturals fish oils delivers peroxide values (indicators of
freshness) down to even an absolute 0.0 mEq/kg,
with an average of 1.07 mEq/kg or
approximately 14 times below the
Norwegian Medicinal Standard and
European Pharmacopoeia Standard
limits. Compare that with an
industry average of 18.62 based on analysis of 8 other
fish oil products on the market. The lower the peroxide
value, the fresher the fish oil.
Freshness is one of the reasons we have selected Nordic
Naturals.

Award Winning Taste
The freshness of an oil is
revealed by its taste. Nordic Naturals has been
recognized as "Best of the Best" and granted the
Best Taste Award by the American Culinary
Institute for the past three years. Taste is one reason why
you probably did not like it when your mother rammed
that spoon of cod liver oil in your mouth. The only
reason children suffer this agony was that there was a
lollipop reward to come after.
Nordic Naturals
utilizes a proprietary enzymatic process to ensure a
completely repeat-free product. Our patented
manufacturing process adds natural fruit essences into
both the capsule and oil for a light, fruity taste. Hold
the lollipop, they will ask you for another spoonful.
Exclusive and
Exceptional Raw Material
A great
finished product starts with the
best.
Nordic Naturals starts with the best
raw materials available: fish low on
the food chain, which naturally
contain low levels of impurities.
All of our products are made
exclusively from three fish species:
Arctic Cod, Anchovies, and Sardines,
as they are naturally high in the
Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA.
Additionally, we use organic evening
primrose and borage oils whenever
possible
for our fish oil blend products. In
fact, Nordic Naturals is one of the
largest buyers of organic primrose
and
borage oils in the world.
Multi-Patented
Manufacturing Process
Nordic Naturals’
multi-patented
manufacturing processes, accompanied by leading edge
processing technologies, deliver fish oil with
exceptional freshness and purity levels. Nordic Naturals
uses several steps in processing the oils, from water
and clay filters to an enzymatic molecular distillation
process. The distillation process utilizes ulta low
residence time under low vacuum, effectively removing
potential toxins and heavy metals while minimizing
exposure to heat.
Only Natural Triglycerides Used
Optimal Blend of
Natural Stabilizers
Nordic Naturals has spent over five
years researching the impact of
various natural stabilizers on
fish oil. A recent study completed
at Nutrasource Diagnostics in 2005
showed that Nordic Naturals’ product
freshness level (measured by
peroxide value) increased only 6%
over a 36-month period, compared to
other products showing an increase
of more than 50% over an 18-month
period. Exceptional freshness means
no fishy smell or odor, and improved
compliance and results.
