Nordic Naturals

Ultimate Omega

High Concentration EPA/DHA Combination

180 Soft Gels

High-quality, purified fish oil is the best source of the omega-3 essential fatty acids EPA and DHA.

EPA and DHA, the two main components of omega-3 from fish oil, are essential for growth and development throughout the human life cycle.

Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega contains 70% pure omega-3, and is purified through molecular distillation to ensure the absence of impurities including PCBs and heavy metals.

WHY YOU NEED FISH OIL

Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are considered “essential fats” because they are required for optimal health but cannot be produced by the body.

Fish oil supplies the omega-3 essential fatty acids EPA+DHA. This increase in omega-3s promotes the natural anti-inflammatory response, which in turn optimizes heart, brain, circulatory, metabolic, joint, and tissue health.

How does it work? There are two main families of essential fats: omega-3 and omega-6. In the body, omega-3s reside in the cell membrane, where they compete with omega-6s. Proper cell function is dependent on a balanced intake of these fats. An overabundance of omega-6 fats (from refined vegetable oils, processed foods, and meat) can disrupt this delicate balance.*

So by consuming more omega-3s, you can maintain a healthy balance of these essential fats and further support the anti-inflammatory response. Fish oil is the best source of omega-3s and optimizes the health of every tissue, organ, and system in the body.*

How Much Are You Getting?

Experts agree—we need a minimum of 500 mg EPA+DHA daily.

Nordic Naturals fish oils deliver more omega-3s per serving than most other omega-3 products.

This means you get more health benefits in fewer soft gels. All with our industry-leading purity, freshness, and taste.

Leading research institutions have consistently chosen Nordic Naturals for their clinical studies, which require rigorous documentation of purity, potency, and stability of the oils used. No other fish oil can say the same.

Suggested Use

Two soft gels daily, with food, or as directed by your health care professional or pharmacist.

Why Nordic Naturals

Exceptional Freshness Levels
Freshness, which ensures product integrity and biological efficacy, may be the single most important quality of fish oils. Nordic Naturals’ patented, oxygen-free manufacturing process delivers peroxide values (indicators of freshness) down to absolute 0.0 mEq/kg, with an average of 0.75 mEq/kg or approximately 14 times below the Norwegian Medicinal Standard and European Pharmacopoeia Standard limits. The lower the peroxide value, the fresher the fish oil.

Exceptional Purity Levels
Purity is a significant concern among fish oil consumers
Nordic Naturals’ raw material is harvested from some of the cleanest waters in the world, and is tested by independent laboratories for heavy metals and over 210 other environmental contaminants.

Award-Winning Taste
The key objections to taking fish oils are taste and aftertaste. 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.

Backed by Extensive Research
Formulations are driven by the latest developments
Nordic Naturals is a research driven company, where processing technology and product formulations are driven by the latest developments. 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. More studies are added every month.

Multi-Patented Manufacturing Process
Without chemicals or excessive heat
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.

Only the natural triglyceride form of fish oil are used
Triglycerides are considered the natural form of the essential fatty acid molecule. Over 98% of all fats ingested are in triglyceride form.

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.

Environmental Responsibility
Only harvest in areas that have a plentiful supply
Nordic Naturals' fish are harvested only from abundant waters: our Arctic cod/Skrei are harvested in Arctic Norway outside of Bodø, and our anchovies and sardines are harvested from the Norwegian Sea and the Southern Pacific Ocean, which are some of the world's healthiest oceans. Sardines and anchovies, given their short reproductive cycles, are considered ideal species for sustainability. Nordic Naturals also ensures that 100% of all fish harvested are utilized for human or animal consumption.

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.

Exceeds International Pharmaceutical Standards
Standards are set to protect consumers
Governmental fish oil quality standards do not exist in the United States. To ensure consistent quality, Nordic Naturals adheres to and exceeds the stringent Norwegian Medicinal Standard (NMS) and the European Pharmacopoeia Standard (EPS) as well as the voluntary standards set by the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) and the Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3s (GOED) for all of our products. These standards guarantee quality products by setting maximum allowances on peroxides, heavy metals, dioxins, and PCBs.

No Heavy Metals
Nordic Naturals products show no detectable lead or mercury when tested down to 0.1 ppm, which is 10 times below the Norwegian Medicinal Standard and European Pharmacopoeia Standard limits.

Dioxins
Nordic Naturals oils have been tested down to 1.0 ppt with zero detection of dioxins. The Norwegian Medicinal Standard and European Pharmacopoeia Standard limits for dioxins are 2 ppt. Analysis is based on the toxicity equivalent testing methodology established by the World Health Organization (WHO).

PCBs
Nordic Naturals oils show no detectable Dioxin-like PCBs when tested down to 1.0 ppt. The Norwegian Medicinal Standard limit for PCBs is 3 ppt. No Limit has been established by the European Pharmacopoeia Standard. Analysis is based on the toxicity equivalent testing methodology established by the WHO.

California's Proposition 65

Using the most advanced testing methods to detect PCBs, third-party tests show that Nordic Naturals products have no detectable levels at one part per trillion of Non-Ortho and Mono-Ortho PCBs and are compliant with the WHO.
