IFOS certified
IFOS certification (The International Fish Oil Standards Program) is an independent testing and certification program for fish oils.
IFOS sets the highest standards for purity, effectiveness and freshness worldwide. The omega-3 supplements are rated on the basis of 5 criteria. Our NORSAN fish oils fully meet all of these criteria. For this reason, IFOS has given each of our liquid fish oils and capsules the top grade.
Environmental Certificate
Every manufacturing process and service has an impact on our environment: energy, resources, and water are consumed, while $CO_2$, emissions, and waste are generated as unavoidable byproducts. The Green Dot (Der Grüne Punkt) calculates an environmental balance sheet by measuring the consumption of resources and the volume of emissions generated during the recycling process.
In this Green Dot Environmental Certificate, you can see the total amount of CO2 savings we achieved in 2023.
