Question 1

What is the difference between triglyceride and ethyl ester fish oil?

Accepted Answer

Triglyceride (TG) fish oil is the natural molecular form found in fish and is up to 70% more bioavailable than ethyl ester (EE) fish oil. Ethyl ester is a processed form created by attaching ethanol to fatty acids during concentration — it's cheaper to produce but significantly harder for the body to absorb. Viking Vital uses only the natural triglyceride form.

Question 2

How much EPA and DHA does Viking Vital contain per serving?

Accepted Answer

Viking Vital provides 800mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and 400mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) per serving, for a total of 1,200mg of Omega-3 fatty acids. This meets or exceeds all major health organization recommendations for daily Omega-3 intake.

Question 3

Is Viking Vital fish oil third-party tested?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every batch of Viking Vital is independently tested by certified third-party laboratories for heavy metals (mercury below 0.01 ppm), PCBs, dioxins, and oxidation markers. Certificates of Analysis (CoA) are available on request.

Question 4

Why is Icelandic fish oil considered the best source of Omega-3?

Accepted Answer

Iceland's remote North Atlantic waters are among the cleanest on Earth, thousands of miles from industrial pollution. Cold, oxygen-rich currents cause fish to produce naturally higher concentrations of EPA and DHA. Iceland also enforces some of the world's strictest fisheries regulations, ensuring sustainable, pristine sourcing.

Question 5

What is molecular distillation in fish oil production?

Accepted Answer

Molecular distillation is an advanced purification process operating under near-vacuum pressure at low temperatures. It separates contaminants like heavy metals, PCBs, and dioxins from Omega-3 fatty acids at the molecular level without heat damage. Viking Vital uses a multi-stage, 5-step molecular distillation process to achieve pharmaceutical-grade purity.

Question 6

Is Viking Vital sustainably sourced?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All fish used in Viking Vital are caught within Iceland's Individual Transferable Quota (ITQ) system — a science-based fisheries management program that sets annual catch limits based on marine biology data. Iceland has maintained stable or growing fish stocks for over two decades under this system.
