As is the case with many supplements today - not all are created equal. And it can be a confusing landscape. We at Iceland Health would like the honor of being your wellness supplement provider and your trusted partner in health. Accordingly, we believe it is of the utmost importance to explain the notable differences that exist between high quality omega-3s and those that are not.
What Makes Omega-3s so Vital?
Potency of essential fatty acids (EFAs). Better known as EPA and DHA, these essential fatty fish acids are what do the work of helping to maintain healthy heart, circulatory, joint, brain and cell health. The more milligrams of concentrated EPA and DHA essential acids found in your omega-3 fish oil, the better. Iceland Health's pure omega-3 supplements provide 600mg of omega-3 fatty acids - 500mg of which are the recommended levels of EPA and DHA - in one single, easy-to-swallow softgel. Unfortunately, many omega-3 supplements sold today do not come close to providing these concentrated levels of essential fatty acids in a single softgel.
Purity and Freshness
Most omega-3s on the market do not provide assurances regarding pollutants. We have been refining oils for more than 20 years and take pride in our solvent-free and chemical-free processes. Iceland Health omega-3 fish oil products are pure - using only marine oil derived from wild, deep-ocean fish and not that from farm-raised fish. The process from water to encapsulation is very short, ensuring and resulting in a fresh product.
Sustainability
Iceland Health engages in responsible sourcing of fish - deriving our oil primarily from anchovy, a sustainable species from waters with strictly-enforced fishing quotas. We are also a proud member of GOED Omega-3, the global organization for EPA and DHA. GOED Omega-3 focuses on EPA and DHA Omega-3, their unique benefits, environmental sustainability and has set voluntary quality and purity standards globally.

High Standards
These factors are subject to regulations of Good Manufacturing Practice and Pharmaceutical Production, a prerequisite for obtaining authorization for pharmaceutical production and packaging. It is one of the very few companies producing these products to attain such a high standard.
