Nutra-Ingredients-USA.com reported recently on organic pollutants in fish oil supplements on the Canadian market. The industry responded by saying the study was misleading.

Irrespective of whether the study was misleading, we reviewed test results for some of NOW Foods fish oil supplements against the findings in the scientific study.

Now’s fish oils have 5,000,000 times lower chlorinated insecticides than the worst oils tested in the study, and 200 times lower than the best supplements tested.

PCBs were not detected in NOW Foods fish oils, compared to measurable and significant levels in all the oils tested in the study.

NOW Foods uses molecular distillation for most of its fish oil products, resulting in the cleanest such products on the market.
