So many choices can be confusing, and make it difficult to be sure that you’re getting a safe, effective product. That’s why we continue to trust Nordic Naturals, the fish oil experts for over 15 years. For them, fish oil is not just a new product—it’s all they do, and all they’ve ever done. We know that we can rely on them for purer, fresher, and better-tasting fish oil—all of which delivers superior results.

Of course, it also seems like all fish oil manufacturers make this same claim. The difference is that Nordic Naturals can prove it—they provide certificates of analysis for every one of their products upon request. Certificates of analysis, which document third party test results, are the one and only way to objectively prove fish oil quality. We have never found another fish oil product that’s able to match Nordic Naturals results. 

When comparing certificates of analysis, there are three key third-party test results to look for, which separate the quality of Nordic Naturals from other fish oil: 1) purity, 2) freshness, and 3) potency. First, the exceptional purity levels of Nordic Naturals products ensures your safety by protecting you from potentially harmful toxins such as mercury, lead, dioxins, PCBs, and other environmental contaminants. Second, freshness levels are important because all fish oil is highly susceptible to oxidative rancidity (due to the long-chain fatty acids it contains), which is measured as freshness levels. Nordic Naturals’ exceptionally low freshness levels ensure not only the absence of fishy taste, smell, or burps but also a more effective product, since rancid oil can contribute to free radical formation and may not be assimilated well by the body. Last, potency ensures that you get enough of the omega-3s you need to receive their many health benefits, like a healthy heart, brain, eyes, and joints. If you have to take 3–5 times as many soft gels to get your needed dose of omega-3s, then inexpensive, less potent fish oil is clearly not a bargain at all. 

Another thing we love about Nordic Naturals is their huge selection of products. With their wide variety of delivery forms, blends, concentrations, and flavors, they offer something just right for any and all personalized needs. Our choice for the upcoming winter months is Ultimate Omega-D3TM. It’s their best selling concentrated formula—which provides over 1,000 mg of EPA+DHA in just 2 soft gels—plus 1000 I.U. natural vitamin D3 for additional bone, mood, and immune support. And we love the clean lemon taste.
