Since 2004, IFOS™ (International Fish Oil Standards) has been the gold standard for omega-3 supplement certification.
Trusted by hundreds of supplement brands worldwide, the IFOS™ certification mark is a symbol of transparency and quality that sets your products apart as a premium Omega-3 brand.
With IFOS™, you can test your products to the highest quality, safety, and purity standards in the world. Unlike other certifications that only offer pass/fail ratings, IFOS™ provides full testing results online, giving you and your customers complete transparency.
Why Third-Party Testing Matters
- Trust & Credibility: Independent certification reinforces consumer confidence
- Quality Assurance: Verifies consistent product quality and label accuracy
- Market Differentiation: Positions your brand as a premium, trusted choice in a competitive market
Rigorous Testing. Proven Results.

Ensuring the Highest Standards of Quality and Purity
At Nutrasource, our focus is ensuring the highest standards of quality and purity for every Omega-3 product we certify. We've implemented a rigorous testing panel that is designed to evaluate the potency, purity & safety of each lot tested.
