WATSONVILLE, Calif., May 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Nordic Naturals® has earned certification from NSF International, verifying that its new LEED-designed corporate headquarters complies with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) as set forth in NSF/ANSI Standard 173-2008, Dietary Supplements, Section 8. Nordic Naturals' former facility was also GMP certified, however new certification was required when the company moved its headquarters in February of this year. NSF audits businesses every six months in order to maintain their certification. Nordic Naturals' current GMP certification is available to view at NSF's website.
NSF International serves public health on a global scale. The independent organization offers certification programs and develops standards for dietary supplements, food, water, and a wide range of consumer products.

The Program's rigorous testing and certification process verifies that Ultimate Omega Sport fully complies with current NSF standards, and that athletes can enjoy Ultimate Omega Sport without unknowingly consuming banned or prohibited substances or their metabolites.
