Why Choose ProOmega® 3 • 6 • 9? ProOmega® 3•6•9 is a high-intensity blend of omegas 3, 6, and 9 for cardiovascular, neurological, joint, skin, and immune health.ProOmega®-3⋅6⋅9 combines concentrated omega-3s EPA and DHA from fish oil with GLA from borage oil and omega-9 to provide high-intensity, full-spectrum fatty acid support for optimal skin, cardiovascular, eye, neurological, joint, and immune health. Why is Fish Oil Important? Fish oil from clean waters is a superior source of omega-3 fatty acids because it is primarily the long-chain variety, EPA and DHA. The fish oil should be purified of environmental toxins through a molecular distillation process and tested to be safe and pure by a 3rd party lab. This is called a pharmaceutical grade, and it should appear on the container. The fish oil should be in the most absorbable triglyceride form that is easily digested and absorbed into the bloodstream with minimal digestive energy. It should also be protected with fat-soluble antioxidant extracts to prevent oxidation of the delicate long-chain fats. Why Choose The Nordic Naturals Brand? Rather than trying to formulate my brand of Cod Liver oil, I went to the industry leader in Nordic Naturals. I am thoroughly impressed with the rigorous 3rd party testing and purity levels of the Nordic Naturals brand. Over the past decade, Nordic has perfected its three-step Gold Standard system that allows its products to test at 10 times lower than the limits set by the strict European Pharmacopoeia Standard for purity and freshness. Vertically integrated from catch to finished product, they deliver the freshest cod liver oils in the world. You can read more about their quality standards below or by going to their page here for all their direct research links. Heavy Metals: All oils used in Nordic Naturals have been thoroughly examined and shown no detectable heavy metals when tested by the Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3 (GOED) and The Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN). Dioxins: All the oils used in the Nordic Naturals products have been examined and shown to have no detectable dioxins or furans when tested down to 2.0 ppt. This is the testing methodology established by the World Health Organization. PCBs: All the Nordic brand oils show no detectable PCBs when tested down to 1.0 ppt. The GOED limit for dioxin-like PCBs is 3.0 ppt. This is the toxicity equivalent established by the WHO. California’s Proposition 65: California’s Prop 65 focuses on total PCBs and establishes an upper limit of 0.09 ppm. Nordic products are the only fish oil on the market that have surpassed this very tight standard, as documented by 3rd party analysis. Freshness: Nordic uses an oxygen-free, chemical-free manufacturing process that maintains the extreme freshness of all the fish oil products. Freshness is measured with peroxide values, and the lower the value, the fresher. Nordic’s peroxide values. The peroxide values are well below the European Pharmacopoeia Standard limits. Purity: Every batch of Nordic fish oil products is 3rd party tested for environmental toxins, heavy metals, dioxins, and PCBs. This ensures that every product exceeds the international quality standards and is at a minimum of 750 times purer than fish. Great Taste: The major objection to liquid fish oils is the taste and aftertaste. Nordic brand oils benefit from a proprietary enzymatic and oxygen free processing technology that allows for no fishy smell, taste, or aftertaste. The unsurpassed purity and freshness are the key factors in eliminating this undesirable smell and taste. Highest Quality Fish: Nordic uses meticulous quality control processes to ensure their fish are naturally high in omega-3 fatty acids and low in environmental toxins. All the fish used are wild-caught and sustainably sourced, so there is no worry of shortage, as they keep the species strong and plentiful. The fish used include Arctic cod from Norwegian waters (such as in the Cod liver oil), anchovies and sardines from the South Pacific and Atlantic oceans, which are the purest and the most sustainable fish species in the world. Manufacturing Process: The fish oil processing is one of the key things that sets Nordic Naturals apart from everyone else in the industry. They use water and clay filters to molecularly distill the products without any chemicals or excessive heat, while preserving the natural integrity of the oil to the highest degree possible. They also use a proprietary nitrogen (oxygen-free) environment to achieve the industry-leading freshness levels and further reduce heat requirements. Only natural enzymes are used to form the triglyceride form for optimal freshness and absorption. True Triglyceride Form: After decades of research, it is clear that the triglyceride form gives the best omega-3 absorption rate. Most concentrated fish oils on the market use an ethyl ester form, which is a synthetic fat with only 30 years of history in the human diet. All Nordic products use the triglyceride form, which is how we have processed and used fats in our bodies since the beginning of mankind. The newest research shows that the absorption advantage of the triglyceride form is 70% more than the ethyl ester form. What Is The Recommended Dosage? Normal Dosage: Two softgels daily, with food or as directed by your healthcare professional. When introducing a new supplement, we recommend taking the lowest dose for 2-3 days. As tolerated, increase the dose until you have reached the recommended normal or advanced guidelines. Reduce to a tolerable dosage if adverse effects occur.
