Nordic Naturals uses a nitrogen manufacturing environment where there is no opportunity for oxidation to occur, thus preventing rancidity (free radicals). We also incorporate a synergistic blend of powerful antioxidants, made specifically as a natural product to stabilize fats and reduce the effects of oxidation. This is our foundation for uncompromising freshness.

Polyunsaturated oils (i.e.: flax oil, fish oil, evening primrose oil, etc.) are highly susceptible to "peroxidation", which is a technical term for rancidity when exposed to oxygen. In order to prevent this process from happening, Nordic Naturals has added a natural blend of advanced antioxidants to "stabilize" their oils and protect them from becoming rancid. This blend consists of lecithin, ascorbyl palmitate (vitamin C), added vitamin E with both gamma and alpha tocopherols. An independent analysis has shown that this natural blend of antioxidants can stabilize fish oil up to 20 times longer than standard antioxidants, which translates into – better taste and better results!
