At Trilogy, we set a higher standard for fish oil purity for all of our Sealogix products. We source our Omega-3's from fish located in some of the cleanest waters in the world from fisheries that are renewable and fully-sustainable. The fish oil is then molecularly distilled to concentrate and purify the oil, removing the contaminants. The ensures the purity of fish oil.
Manufacturers of fish oil are required to test each batch they produce; however, in many cases, this testing is handled by the manufacturers themselves. Often testing is conducted prior to adding flavors and bottling, so the fish oil that is tested in-house may not necessarily be the same quality of fish oil delivered to the marketplace.
In addition to the standard manufacturer testing for every batch, we have enlisted the help of IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards), a non-affiliated third party and the internationally-respected source for fish oil analysis. IFOS scientifically tests and analyzes Sealogix. This validation testing ensures that you are getting a safe and effective fish oil supplement that you can feel confident about the purity of fish oil that you are giving to your family.
IFOS Testing
There are three internationally-accepted standards for testingTrilogy's IFOS report on the quality test of Sealogix's fish oil purity and quality. purity of fish oil and quality:
1. CRN (Council for Responsible Nutrition)
2. WHO (World Health Organization)
3. IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards)
The IFOS standards includes all the tests required by the CRN and WHO; however, IFOS imposes more stringent requirements for passing some of these tests. Furthermore, the IFOS standards also include additional tests not required by the CRN and WHO. We believe this makes the IFOS standard the most comprehensive measurement in the fish oil industry for quality and purity of fish oil. The highest rating that can be attained from IFOS is a 5-Star Rating. We are proud to announce that Sealogix has been awarded an IFOS 5-Star Rating for quality, concentration and purity.
