Is the fish oil in OmegaPlex® Omega-3 Fatty Acid supplement pharmaceutical grade?
There is no commonly accepted “pharmaceutical grade” criterion for marine lipids. Since companies use various methods for quality testing and for reporting results, current product labeling is inconsistent across the industry. However, the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), comprised of a group of dietary supplement industry manufacturers, has drafted a voluntary monograph that has helped establish testing protocols and stringent standards as indicators of quality omega-3 fatty acid supplements. OmegaPlex is of excellent quality and purity, and the values are consistent with the CRN voluntary monograph values. Furthermore, the marine oils used in OmegaPlex are tested to ensure the absence of heavy metals, pesticides and other potential contaminants.
