Pure Alaska Fish Oil capsules are made from Alaska pollock from the Gulf of Alaska and the Bering Sea. This is the most northern part of the Pacific Ocean, bordering the North Pole. The fillet of the Alaska pollock goes to the supermarket, and the fillet off-cuts are used to make fish oil. So no extra fish is caught for this efficient way of working. With this, Arctic Blue has earned the strictest certification for fish oil: the blue MSC certification. In a modern facility in the US, the oil is purified and concentrated, making sure the fish oil keeps its freshness (=low Totox value). Freshness is a measure of the condition of the sensitive Omega-3 fatty acids. Fresh fish oil will therefore never cause fishy burps or an aftertaste. Arctic Blue fish oil capsules are therefore also suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
