Nutralab Canada ‘s Fish Oil Omega 3 awarded 5-star rating, IFOS

With growing contamination concerns for the consumer, and recent clinical data suggesting the negative effects of mercury and PCBs from edible marine sources, the IFOS program continues to grow in popularity and prove its value as a reliable source for third-party validation. Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the many clinically established health benefits of omega 3, but are equally concerned with contamination issues. The IFOS program delivers a suitable venue for the fish oil Omega 3 products industry to showcase credible product sources.

Nutralab Canada has its dedication to providing only premium-quality ingredients and delivering finished products that meet the highest standards and criteria, we had our Fish oil Omega 3 EPA/DHA  scientifically analyzed and rated by IFOS. Nutralab has been awarded an IFOS 5-Star rating for purity, quality, and concentration consistently since 2005—the highest possible rating for fish oil.
