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
- Is EcoSmart Omega-3 a fish oil?
- No. Carlson sources it from calamari (squid) rather than fish, which it presents as a more sustainable marine source. It still supplies the long-chain omega-3s EPA and DHA.
- What is Friend of the Sea certification?
- Friend of the Sea is a third-party sustainability certification for products from responsibly managed marine sources. EcoSmart Omega-3 carries it alongside IFOS purity testing.
- How is it flavoured?
- It comes as a natural lemon-flavoured softgel, a common approach to reducing any fishy or marine aftertaste.
- Why is EcoSmart Omega-3 so highly rated?
- In our catalogue it holds a 4.9-star average across 16 Amazon UK reviews — the highest rating in this group, though from a smaller number of reviews, so treat it as indicative rather than a guarantee of results.
