Ive heard that fish oil contains mercury and other environmental toxins. Is it safe to take EFAs derived from fish?
Fish oils may contain environmental toxins that accumulate in a fish during its life span. Potential toxins can be virtually eliminated given the use of high quality raw materials and a technologically advanced refining process utilizing the very latest distillation technologies. Nordic Naturals fish oils are molecularly distilled, utilizing a leading edge enzymatic process where any potential heavy metals and dioxins are removed. Third-party testing documents the complete absence of heavy metals and dioxins (where heavy metals are tested down to 25 particles per billion and dioxins down to 0.5 particles per trillion). Nordic Naturals’ policy is to test competing products on an ongoing basis to monitor the overall quality level of the fish oil industry. Nordic Naturals has never found a competing product to match its freshness and purity levels.
