Nordic Naturals only focus
is to deliver ultra pure, fresh and health promoting omega oils
that taste great, and are free from environmental toxins. All
products are manufactured in Norway, adhering to the highest
manufacturing standards guaranteeing exceptional product Purity
and Freshness levels.
Nordic Naturals uses only wild fish (arctic
cod, mackerel, sardines, and anchovies), that are low on the food
chain (to minimize potential impurities) and are naturally high in
Omega 3 EFAs. Nordic Naturals has developed and patented natural fruit flavored
capsules in a variety of shapes and sizes, small chewable strawberry
capsules for children, and even liquids.
Nordic Naturals make exceptionally high quality fish oils in their natural triglyceride form to maximize absorption and results. Nordic Naturals' goal is to keep the oil's natural constituents to the greatest degree possible. In addition to EPA and DHA, Nordic Natural's formulas also include Docosapentaenoic Acid (DPA, C22:5n-3), Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA, 18:3n-3), as well as some monounsaturated and saturated fats found naturally in the oil.
The most common fish oils are the "18/12" oils, which are 18% EPA and 12% DHA. This formula is ideal for maintaining healthy levels of the key nutrients EPA and DHA. Since it is already in its natural form, an 18/12 oil does not need to be molecularly distilled, unless its source is impure. Flash distillation, a gentle and leading-edge oil processing technique, cleanses the oil while leaving the molecules untouched.
For higher concentrations, molecular distillation is used to increase the levels of the two key fatty acids EPA and DHA. High concentrates can be in their natural triglyeride form or in an ethylester form. Nordic Naturals uses only the triglyceride form of fatty acids since they offer higher stability and bioavailability. Concentrates lend themselves well for specific therapeutic dosing.
In the example of pregnant and lactating women, a concentrated DHA supplement can easily meet a woman's need for brain and nervous system support, without the vasodilation effect of EPA. Higher EPA formulations target heart health and immune system support. Concentrations of both EPA and DHA are ideal for protocols that may require high dosages of Omega-3 in a balanced form.
