Pure Alaska Fish Oil capsules are made from Alaska pollock from the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea. This is the northernmost part of the Pacific Ocean, bordering the North Pole. The Alaska pollock fillet goes to the supermarket; the fillet cuts are used to make fish oil. For this efficient method, no additional fish is caught. In doing so, Arctic Blue has earned the strictest label for fish oil: the blue MSC label. In a modern facility in the US, the oil is purified and concentrated and ensures that the fish oil retains its freshness (= low Totox value). This is because freshness is a measure of the condition of the sensitive Omega-3 fatty acids. Fresh fish oil will therefore never belch or give an aftertaste. Arctic Blue fish oil capsules are therefore also suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women. Purified high-dose fish oil wild fish capsules
