Conclusion
Omega-3 fatty acids are well researched and widely accepted. It’s an important part of anyone’s diet and should be consumed on a daily basis for optimal health. There is always the concern of mercury toxicity, so reputation and ethical business practices are essential for anyone who is marketing and distributing fish oil to the general public. Nordic Naturals takes pride in their filtering processes, their manufacturing processes and their distribution methods. While you do have to take their claims on faith, they do a lot to back that information up with third party studies and plenty of information to chew on.
