Why is IFOS 5 Star Important?

When choosing fish oil there are specific attributes to be mindful of: choose a natural triglyceride fish oil over a processed ethyl ester form, note the concentration of EPA:DHA, compare sustainability of fishing practices, type of fish harvested…etc.

One key objective marker of the quality and purity of your oil is the IFOS 5 Star Rating.  IFOS stands for International Fish Oil Standards and is considered the penultimate third party indicator of quality in the industry.

The 5 Stars represent the following:

1 Star for passing all CRN/WHO* testing categories

1 Star for greater than 60% Omega-3 concentration

1 Star for Oxidation levels less than 75% of CRN Standard

1 Star for PCB levels less than 50% of CRN Standard

1 Star for Dioxin levels less than 50% of WHO Standard

Of course, Bonfire Premium Fish Oil satisfies all of the above criteria and is proud to display its IFOS 5 Star Rating.  To learn more about our products or to order yours today go to http://bonfirehealth.com/store/
