Is the oil in NutraSea cold-pressed?
No. Plant based oils such as olive oil often use the term “cold pressed” however this is misleading. Cold pressed olive oils typically require a process temperature in the range of 30-50°C (86-122°F). In the case of fish oil pressing, the optimal temperatures range between 60-80°C (140-176°F). Using too low temperatures requires longer processing time and results in increased oxidation due to air exposure.
