Hello Happy Rafters, Thank you for your question. The fish oil is made of the finest fish oil available from Deep Ocean Water fish (Sardines, Mackerel, Herring and Salmon), usually caught in the deep sea outside Norway. Occasionally it can come from other areas as well, depending on the availability of fish oil from the Nordic area. . The oil is processed in the US, using one of the best purification methods available, Molecular Distillation, which is the only current method that can remove heavy metals, PCB's and other toxins to below detectable limits for human consumption. The process preserves the quality of the fish oil and guarantees that no Trans Fats are created. I hope this answers your question and that you are satisfied with our fish oil. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us again. Best Regards, Jennifer Anderson Customer Service Manager

To my knowledge, Carlson Norwegian Cod Liver Oil isn't fermented. Being an oil, it can become rancid when not refrigerated after being opened.

Yes, the label says "purified deep sea fish oil (from anchovies and sardines)"

I initially answered I don't know. But I found an empty bottle and it says that it is Norweigen fish oil on the ingredient list, but it does not state where it is made. It does say Carlson labs is in Chicago IL though.

If you really want to know if it's organic, why don't you ask the company. I don't believe that they use farm raised fish for the product. They are a local company to the PNW. It is all fish oil that I can attest to, as I did the frozen gel capsule test and it proved that the oil inside was indeed 100% fish oil, since fish oil doesn't freeze unlike soy oil, vegetable oil and even olive oil.

According to the Nordic Naturals website, "Made from 100% wild Arctic cod (Skrei)-no other fish oils or synthetic additives are ever used." It is also non-GMO verified. It does not "repeat" on you... no fishy taste! My Natruopath recommended this brand because the way this company processes the gels does not turn the oil rancid, which is what causes the fishy taste.

Most commercially available fish oils are derived from coldwater fish, primarily menhaden, but also salmon and trout. These oils are rich in the Omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Fish oil sourced from Peru; cold water fish. Unfortunately that is on the box. Hope it helped.

I'm not sure how it's manufactured, but it is certainly oily to the touch and feels like the raw linseed oil I've used all my life. I would think the manufacturer could give you a definitive answer.

Label says "from the waters near Norway"."regularly tested using AOAC international protocols for freshmess, potency and purity, etc." Distributed by Carlson Labs, a US company. I think it is helping my son with his attention span issues.

I dont know, but I cannot take this unless I keep it in the freezer because the smell is disgusting. I've had other krill and/or fish oil that wasn't this strong. I see nothing on the label to indicate that it is cold pressed.

It is distributed by Nordic Pure in the USA but it is made in Norway by Nordic Naturals.

Krill oil has Omega 3 but is not from fish. It does not leave you with a fishy taste in your mouth. Good stuff!

Produced by the Gibson Family in Alaska.(Anchorage)? Wild salmon oil, not farmed. Processed at a low temperature, preserved with mixed tocopherols, not rosemary which can cause stomach distress.

honestly, i have not been taking the Omega XL in the past year. I simply take the Carlson's Cod Liver Oil from Norway and it seems to be doing the job. I don't have any inflammatory conditions, etc. so i could not speak to those.

Since I use a variety of high-quality fish oil supplements, I can state that I investigated the issue thoroughly prior to testing. If it had been produced in any questionable locale or by any suspect company, I would never have agreed to reviewing the product. My primary objection to the product was its unnecessary use of soybean oil. There are always options to this ingredient. Given that objection, Eklund's was one of the only Omega 3 products I could "feel," eg. it potentiated the positive effects of antidepressants I've used over time and appeared to benefit mood regulation, too.

That's a darn good question, and I don't know the answer to it. It would be a good thing to know considering high levels of mercury reported accumulating in some fish over the last several years. I would also like to know if mercury actually settles in the "oil" that is extracted for human consumption, or does it accumulate in other fish body structures and fluids, leaving the fish oil we humans use mercury free, or at least relatively mercury free. The manufacturer claims their oil comes from deep, clear, clean, cold contaminate free Norwegian fiords...or something like that....but I don't recall if they mentioned that they tested for mercury. I have read the box, and some on their website, in the past. I will check into their testing for mercury, and I would also like to know more about mercury contamination in fish-where it accumulates in fish, and where in the world geographically, it seems to be a bigger problem. Anyone, that has information on the above, please let me know. Thanks for your time.
