Healthspan, the UK''s leading home shopping supplier of vitamins, minerals and health supplements, was awarded Friend of the Sea certification for its Omega-3 supplements.

They contain Friend of the Sea sustainable fish oils.

Omega-3 supplements are mostly composed of fish oil from some major fisheries worldwide. Those oils which are certified by Friend of the Sea use fisheries which target pelagic species (eg: anchovies and sardines) which are very resilient to fishing pressure. They are well managed and fished with very selective methods and with no impact to the seabed.

The Omega-3 supplements originate from fish caught in compliance with stringent sustainable fishing practices. Chris Fisher, Healthspan’s Senior Brand Manager, comments: “Environmental sustainability and concern for the world’s marine habitat is a priority at Healthspan: the Friend of the Sea certification speaks of our commitment towards environmentally-friendly practices.”

Healthspan, established in 1996, is based in the Channel Island of Guernsey, and offers pure, pharmaceutical grade vitamins and supplements at great value.
