Quality and Purity from Norway
Pure Cod Liver Oil from Norway
Möller’s Omega-3 Cod Liver Oil is obtained from the liver of fresh 100% Arctic cod. It is sustainably caught in the clean, strictly regulated waters of the Lofoten in Norway. Sustainability, quality, and purity are important values for us.
Möller’s is the number 1 cod liver oil in Scandinavia. In Norway, cod liver oil is a staple part of the daily diet. The Norwegian Health Authority even advises daily intake.
A Bit of Cod Liver Oil History…
Fish from Clean Seas
The Arctic cod comes from the cleanest seas in the world, the Arctic Sea near the Lofoten, where levels of toxic substances and other environmental pollutants are minimal. The sustainable catch of cod is delivered daily by local fisheries. As a result, the fish liver is less than 24 hours old and very fresh. The liver of the Arctic cod is naturally highly concentrated in omega-3 and vitamins A and D, making it extremely suitable for the production of high-quality cod liver oil.
Unique Production Method Guarantees Quality and Purity
After the catch, the liver of the cod is used for Möller “s, the rest of the fish is not discarded, but also used for consumption. Möller” s production method is unique. Peter Möller, the founder of the brand, introduced the Möller method: separating oil from cod liver by steam heating. The liver is steamed at a low temperature, causing the omega-3 rich oil to slowly separate while preserving the natural form of the fatty acids.
This production method of Möller’s Omega-3 ensures a product of very high quality. The liver of the Arctic cod is naturally highly concentrated in omega-3 and vitamins A and D. By steaming at a low temperature, the natural form and effectiveness of the omega-3 are preserved. This unique production method guarantees a high omega-3 content. Additionally, Möller’s Cod Liver Oil is also rich in vitamins A, D, and E.
Since its establishment in 1854, the production method has been further developed, continuously improving the quality, purity, and taste of Möller’s Cod Liver Oil. Try Möller’s for yourself now!
Quality Controls
Möller’s Omega-3 is a natural product and is 100% derived from wild Arctic cod. The product undergoes strict quality controls before bottling takes place.
Our products are safe for both children and adults. Möller’s products are regularly tested by independent laboratories for purity and freshness. All products meet and even exceed international regulations (including those of the GOED organization: Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3) for product purity.
The production, purification, and strict controls of all products are done in our own factory in Norway.
Free from Heavy Metals
Möller “s stands for the best quality and high purity. Independent laboratories continuously check the oil for the presence of contaminants, PCB” s, heavy metals, and dioxins. To guarantee the purity of the products, a mild but effective purification takes place to remove unwanted materials. All this without the use of chemicals. This purification and quality control ensure the highest purity of Möller’s Omega-3. They are free from detectable levels of mercury, cadmium, lead, PCB “s and 28 other possible contaminants. Möller” s meets all EU requirements and GOED standards.
Fresh Fish Oil with a Low Totox Value (<5)
Möller “s contains a very high content of omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA). These healthy fatty acids are also the most sensitive to oxidation: breakdown of fatty acids when exposed to oxygen. High quality is only guaranteed if the oil is very fresh. Möller” s Omega-3 limits oxidation of the omega-3 fatty acids through the following factors:
- Rapid processing of fish livers, within 24 hours after catching.
- Production in a nitrogen environment, which is free of oxygen.
- Addition of vitamin E as an antioxidant to protect the oil against oxidation.
- Limiting exposure to light by bottling the oil in a green glass bottle.
- Optimal shelf life by storing the fish oil in the refrigerator after opening the bottle.
To protect the properties of the omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E has been added to the cod liver oil. Vitamin E protects against oxidation of the omega-3, both in the bottle and in our body. The omega-3 fatty acids in our cod liver oil retain their natural triglyceride form. The production process takes place in a low-oxygen manner. Oxidation is therefore not possible, and this ensures the fresh taste of the cod liver oil. Preventing oxidation is also the reason for the green bottle. This color better protects the contents of the bottle.
Control of the oxidation values takes place with every production batch. The values differ per batch, but the average totox value of Möller’s Omega-3 immediately after bottling is lower than 5. This is a fantastic value. The standard set by GOED (Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3) is a maximum oxidation value of 26. Möller’s Omega-3 therefore easily meets this standard.
