Response from Twin lab on their CLO

[Guest guest]

Hello,

Since I was asking about the Twin Lab CLO I just thought I would share

what I found out from Twin lab about their CLO, whatcha all think?

Here is her response to my questions below.

Thank you for your inquiry.

The cod goes through a cooking and pressing process of the fish which is

less than 95 degrees celsius. This leads to a physical separation of

oil and water with centrifuges (proteins are removed). This leads to

crude oil. Then neutralization occurs at 96 degrees celsius in which

sodium hydroxide is added and free fatty acids are removed. The next

process is a purification process which occurs at 110 degrees celsius in

which a proprietary blend of absorbants are added and any organic

contaminants or heavy metals are removed. The next process is called

winterization which occurs between 0 and 10 degrees for 3 hours. The

saturated fats are then removed. The product then goes through a

molecular distillation and deodorization process which removes PCB's,

dioxins, and volatile organic materials. Antioxidants are added to the

refined, purified, and deodorized cod liver oil. The oil is now ready

to be put into bottles and sold.

We do not add synthetic vitamins to our fish oils. The vitamins are

natural to the oil.

Good Health to You!! Allyson, Consumer Affairs, Twinlab
