A diet that contains a regular intake of cold-water fatty fish and ALA-rich seeds & nuts help supply the body with omega-3 fats, which support heart, cognitive, eye and joint health.* Unfortunately, today’s over-reliance on processed, nutrient deficient foods can sometimes provide an obstacle to consuming adequate amounts of omega-3s and supplementation may be necessary.
As a company powered by integrity, whenever we launch a product, we make sure that the product is formulated to satisfy our 4 core values of sustainability, quality, accountability and transparency. As you can see below, our omega-3 fish oil products check all the boxes.
Sustainability
At NutriGold, we think of sustainability as the "synergistic and interdependent relationship between people and planet." The natural world nourishes and sustains human life and we, in turn, have an obligation to protect and preserve it for future generations. We don't believe it is ethical to prioritize profits over people or planet and are as mindful of the impact that our decisions have on human health as we are of their impact on sustainability and ecological biodiversity.
Sustainability from Source to Shelf
Greater than 90% of brands use fish oil from Peru (e.g., anchovy, sardine), which then travel thousands of miles to China or Norway for processing. In contrast, NutriGold’s omega-3 fish oil is sourced in the USA, a much shorter distance from source to shelf. Our fish oil products are sourced from Alaska Pollock, native to the cold ocean waters of the Bering Sea off the coast of Alaska. The Bering Sea is known to be one of the world’s most pristine and productive ecosystems for marine life. The fisheries that we source our omega-3 oil from are also certified sustainable by MSC (Marine Stewardship Council), a respected third-party verification for sustainable fishing practices.
Our Sustainability Commitment in Practice
Over 90% of fish oil products feature fish oil sourced from Peru and processed in Norway or China. NutriGold’s fish oil is sourced and processed in the USA; the shortest distance from source to shelf.
Quality & Accountability
The omega-3 fatty acids in our fish oil products are in the triglyceride form. This is considered more bioavailable than the common ethyl ester form.* We include this distinction on the front label and the supplement facts panel of our fish oil products so our customers can make an informed purchasing decision.
Every lot of our fish oil products is third-party tested by IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards) for purity, potency, and freshness. The International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS) Program is one of the most trusted third-party testing and certification programs exclusively for fish oils.
Transparency
NutriGold's omega-3 fish oil products are traceable from source to shelf. In addition to multiple independent certifications, our customers also have access to lot-specific, third-party testing results on our website and from IFOS. Each IFOS report includes detailed testing results for freshness (TOTOX), potency, marine contaminants, and heavy metals. Every lot of our fish oil products continues to be IFOS 5-star certified, and we haven't had a single lot since we first started manufacturing fish oil supplements that has not met the IFOS program's stringent requirements.
IFOS Certification & Rating
The International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS) Program is the most trusted third-party testing and certification program exclusively for fish oils. Offered by Nutrasource Diagnostics, participation in the program is voluntary and products submited for certification are tested for compliance with stringent Global Organization for EPA and DHA standards for purity, potency, freshness, and overall quality.
MSC (Marine Stewardship Council)
The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is a nonprofit, organization that addresses the issue of unsustainable fishing, and helps safeguard seafood supplies for the future. Through their fisheries certification and seafood labeling programs, MSC works with partners to promote sustainable fishing practices and protect marine wildlife in oceans around the world. The MSC’s certification and eco-labelling program allows everybody to play a part in securing a healthy future for our oceans.
