Super EPA
Thorne is the choice for professional athletes and those requiring the highest level of purity verification. Their Super EPA is NSF Certified for Sport, ensuring it is free from over 200 banned substances and contaminants.
Quality & Materials
Sourced from small, cold-water fish. Molecularly distilled to remove PCBs and heavy metals.
Evidence & Testing
Thorne is the only supplement brand to partner with Mayo Clinic on health research and content.
Brand Transparency
Thorne owns their own manufacturing facility (rare in the industry) and performs four rounds of testing on every product.
Value Assessment
Higher price point, but the peace of mind for competitive athletes or those with strict purity needs is unparalleled.
Why Not Alternatives?
Thorne's manufacturing standards exceed USP requirements. While more expensive than 'budget' brands, the NSF Certified for Sport designation is a level of testing that most Omega-3 brands do not undergo.
