Why this certification matters
- IFOS
- IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards) tests fish oil and omega-3 products for purity, potency, and freshness.
Frequently asked questions
- What's the difference between natural triglyceride (TG) and re-esterified triglyceride (rTG)?
- Natural TG is fish oil in its original molecular form — no concentration step. rTG involves converting the oil to ethyl ester, concentrating EPA/DHA, then re-attaching the fatty acids to a glycerol backbone. Natural TG is closer to whole-food fish oil; rTG and ethyl ester achieve higher per-capsule EPA/DHA.
- Why does Bare Biology use natural TG rather than concentrated forms?
- It's a brand positioning choice — Bare Biology emphasises minimal processing and a composition close to whole fish oil. The trade-off is somewhat lower EPA/DHA per capsule than rTG-form competitors at similar daily dose targets, so capsule count per day can be higher.
- How does the Daily Capsule differ from the Life & Soul liquid?
- Bare Biology sells a Life & Soul liquid omega-3 separately, delivering a higher daily dose of EPA/DHA in a single teaspoon. The capsules are for users who prefer no-taste capsule dosing; the liquid suits people targeting a higher daily dose without taking multiple capsules.
- How is IFOS different from MSC or Friend of the Sea?
- IFOS tests the oil itself — purity, freshness, potency and contaminant limits. MSC and Friend of the Sea are sustainability certifications covering how the fish are caught. They're complementary, and many Bare Biology SKUs carry both types.
- Where can I buy Bare Biology Life & Soul in the UK?
- Listed at Amazon UK and direct from barebiology.com, both at £32.95 at the time of last check. Bare Biology is a direct-to-consumer brand, so buying direct may offer subscription pricing; Amazon offers Prime delivery and easier returns.
