What are the standards for fish oil?
Currently, no quality standards exist for fish oil in the United States. The Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), a trade organization for supplement suppliers and manufacturers, has recently developed U.S. voluntary guidelines (pdf file). Some fish oil supplement manufacturers adhere to European fish oil standards, such as the Norwegian Medicinal Standard and the European Pharmacopoeia Standard (pdf file). European standards are higher than the current voluntary and proposed standards set by the CRN. For example, while the CRN encourages dioxin levels to be measured in parts per million, Euro standards are set in parts per trillion. WINOmeg3complex is manufactured according to the stringent European Pharmacopoeia and Norwegian Medicinal Standard requirements and surpasses all international standards for freshness and purity. In addition, WINOmeg3complex meets or exceeds California Proposition 65 and the CRN voluntary monograph.
