Ingredients

Wild & Raw Extra Virgin Cod Liver Oil (fish) (99.91%), Rosemary extract (0.04%) and non-GMO Vitamin-E (0.05%). Softgel (fish gelatin, water, glycerin).

Allergens: Fish

Best taken with food, as needed.

Adults: 3 softgels daily. (90 capsule bottle will last 30 days)

Children and sensitive individuals: Begin by taking 1 softgel daily.

Preconception, pregnant, & nursing mothers: Do not exceed more than 2 softgels daily. Consult with a physician before taking this supplement.

Low and slow: Rosita is premium, pure and potent. Therefore, it’s critically important to start slowly. For example, 1 softgel (or less) every other day, until you can determine how the oil affects your body and what dosage feels right for you.

To maintain the Rosita softgels in the best possible state for the longest time, keep them in dark storage at room temperature, ideally ranging from 58°F to 78°F (15°C to 25°C).

Short temperature exposure either way has little-to-no impact on the oil. Cold temperatures over prolonged periods can increase the permeability of the gel and so they should not be refrigerated or frozen.

The shelf life of Rosita Extra Virgin Cod Liver Oil softgels is three years from the production date.

Testing

HOW WE TEST OUR EXTRA VIRGIN COD LIVER OIL

Rosita Extra Virgin fish oils are tested by the following leading European Institutes (listed below) to make sure our products are pure, fresh and clean. Each batch of undergoes rigorous testing for heavy metals, organic contaminants, oxidation, bacteria, microplastics, and radioactivity. Test results are available upon request.

EUROFINS - Eurofins is an international group of laboratories headquartered in Luxembourg, providing testing and support services to the pharmaceutical, food, environmental, agriscience and consumer products industries and to governments.

ALS Food & Pharmaceutical (UK) - ALS provide a comprehensive range of microbiological, physical and chemical testing services combined with industry leading technical expertise and customer service.

Biodetection Systems B.V. (BDS) - To protect our health and the environment by offering and applying innovative, sensitive, and efficient in vitro test methods – that is what BioDetection Systems stands for.

2. Nutrient Results

The concentration of fat-soluble nutrients depends on several biological factors, including the size of the fish and the amount of oil contained in the liver. There are also seasonal variations related to the spawning cycle of the fish, climatic conditions, plankton, and other conditions affecting the codfish. Because Rosita EVCLO is a completely unrefined & unprocessed wholefood, the concentration of nutrients will ALWAYS vary from batch to batch.

The Nutrient Results (fat-soluble vitamins, sterols & fatty acids) shown below represent typical values and ranges which have been obtained from analytical testing at the following institutes:

NIFES (National Institute of Nutrition and Seafood Research )[20/12/2010]

ALS Food & Pharmaceutical (United Kingdom) [10/10/2012]

Eurofins Food Testing [19/02/2013]

Nutrition Analytical Service (NAS), Institute of Aquaculture, University of Stirling, Scotland, United Kingdom [15/11/2013]. The head of NAS, Professor Gordon Bell, has over 30 years of experience in fish nutrition and lipid and nutrition related analysis and has published more than 184 peer-reviewed papers on fish nutrition, fatty acids, lipid soluble nutrients and antioxidants. The Chief Analyst, James Dick, provides over 25 years of experience in lipid methodology and is responsible for Quality Control within the Nutrition Group, the development of chromatographic techniques and is trained in all aspects of complex lipid analysis including HPLC, GC, GC/MS and GC/MS/MS.

Extra virgin oil was also tested [as far back as: 15.07.2011] by the producer at ECO-Marine using a Norwegian Aquaculture Research Institute which specialises in marine raw materials and products.

Select Fatty Acid Composition of Total Lipid from Wild & Raw EVCLO

Wild & Raw EVCLO contains a wide spectrum of fatty acids including omega 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 11 etc.

The test data for selective fatty acids are given below. Levels of other fatty acids not shown are available on request.

Fatty acid	mg/teaspoon
20:5n-3 (EPA)	510
22:6n-3 (DHA)	700
18:1n-9 (Oleic acid)	1,200
20:1n-9 (Gadoleic acid)*	660
22:1n-11 (Cetoleic acid)* Fatty acids, Sum of Omega 6 Calc. Fatty acids, Sum of Omega 3 Calc. Unidentified fatty acids	375 160 1,460 240
	ratio
DHA/EPA^∆	1:1 – 1.3:1
Omega 6/Omega 3 Ratio	0.11

*Gadoleic acid [which was first noted in cod liver oil] and Cetoleic acid are present in higher amounts in codfish from Northern hemisphere and high latitude waters. These fatty acids are therefore found in higher quantities in genuine cod liver oil originating from the Northern hemisphere.

*Cetoleic acid is also usually present in lower proportions than Gadoleic acid.

^∆This ratio is a good indicator of genuine Northern hemisphere cod liver oil.

3. Purity

Cod Liver Oil has been tested for purity by leading European institutes and meets all the stringent European requirements.

ENDORSED BY

“As soon as the EVCLO product became available, I ordered some. I noticed right away that it smelled, looked, and tasted fresh. This, together with Rosita’s transparency and third-party testing, was enough to convince me to switch over to EVCLO and begin recommending it to my tribe.”
