Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega™ is the first omega-3 fish oil worldwide
to be included in the NFL/NFLPA Sports Nutrition Label Certification Program,
which provides certified products with an approval symbol on the packaging.
The Certification Program's rigorous testing and certification process ensures
that Ultimate Omega™ fully complies with current NFL/NFLPA Banned
Substance Policy. This ensures that NFL athletes can enjoy Nordic Naturals
fish oil without unknowingly consuming banned or prohibited substances
or their metabolites. The certification program also verifies that
Ultimate Omega™ contains only the actual quantity of ingredients
listed on the label.

NFL/NFLPA Sports Nutrition Label Certification Program:

• Offers NFL players Certified Product options so they will not unknowingly
consume Prohibited Substances via their sports nutrition products.

• Reduces the likelihood of NFL players testing positive for Prohibited
Substances consumed unintentionally.

• Verifies that Certified Products contain the identity and quantity of ingredients
listed on the Certified Product label and are free of Prohibited Substances.

• Provides a mechanism for third-party evaluation for the metabolites
of Certified Product formulations.

Certified products must meet the following criteria:

• Formula Evaluation - NSF provides confidential review of Certified Product
formulations to screen for Prohibited Substances.

• Good Manufacturing Practices - Production facilities and packaging facilities,
for Certified Products, are inspected to insure controls are in place to avoid
the introduction of, or cross contamination with, Prohibited Substances.

• Clinical Testing for Metabolites - At the client's request, NSF will oversee clinical
testing to determine if any ingredients metabolize into Prohibited Substances.

• Chain-of-Custody Procedures - Each Certified Product lot tested for Prohibited
Substances must be collected by an NSF auditor. All Certified Products pending
testing are held by the manufacturer under locked quarantine until NSF notifies
the manufacturer of successful test results.

Nordic Naturals understands the importance of NFL players having access to
nutritional products that are safe and transparent. We are pleased to provide
