​Do You Know Where Your Fish Oils Come From?

Do You Know Where Your Fish Oils Come From?

We all know we need to get more omega-3s. When you choose Carlson to boost your omega-3 levels, one thing you never have to worry about is whether or not they are responsibly sourced. Carlson fish oils are always earth-friendly. Every omega-3 product is closely managed from sea to store, using sustainable fishing practices and nutrient-rich fish.

Sustainably Sourced Omega-3 Fish Oil

The fish come from deep, unpolluted waters and low-impact fisheries. The fisheries are closely monitored to protect the waterways and the local environment and hold Friend of the Sea (FOS) certifications. Friend of the Sea is a project of the World Sustainability Organization for the certification and promotion of fish from sustainable fisheries and sustainable aquaculture.

Carlson Healthy Oils are sourced from wild Arctic Cod off the coast of Norway whose populations number in the millions from year to year. Other Carlson omega-3s are sourced from wild caught small fish, like sardines or mackerel – species whose populations are also reliably sustainable. And every part of any fish caught for Carlson fish oil is used either for either human or animal consumption, so no part of the fish is wasted.

The Highest Quality Processing and Purification

Carlson omega-3 fish oils are processed in state-of-the-art facilities following strict quality controls and standards. They are purified without chemicals, and a touch of antioxidants such as vitamin E are added to maintain long-lasting freshness. They are so fresh, all Carlson flavored liquid fish oils have received Superior Taste Awards from the chefs and sommeliers of the International Taste & Quality Institute (iTQi). Always fresh, never fishy.

Third-Party Certifications and Awards

Carlson fish oils are also third-party tested for freshness, potency, and purity by the International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS) program. IFOS is the only third-party testing facility exclusively dedicated to testing fish oils. Carlson oils receive the highest rating offered, five stars. Carlson omega-3s are also certified non-GMO by the International GMO Evaluation and Notification (IGEN) program.

Good for you and good for the planet – Carlson fish oils are a great choice to boost your omega-3s.
