At True Grace, we've always believed that where your omega-3 comes from matters just as much as what's inside the bottle. That's why we source our fish oil from MSC Certified Alaskan Pollock instead of the Peruvian anchovy fishery that supplies much of the global fish oil market.
That decision was never about following a trend. It was about supporting one of the world's most responsibly managed fisheries while creating a more reliable supply chain. As headlines about fish oil shortages and rising costs continue to surface, that thoughtful sourcing strategy is proving its value.
Sustainability was the plan all along
Many omega-3 supplements rely on crude fish oil sourced from Peruvian anchovies. Peru's fishery is an important part of the global omega-3 supply, but it is also vulnerable to environmental conditions and seasonal fishing restrictions.
This year, Peru's first 2026 anchovy fishing season experienced production challenges after conservation measures were put in place to protect juvenile fish populations. Those actions are critical for the long-term health of the fishery, but they have also reduced global fish oil production. Industry experts are now watching Peru's second fishing season closely because it will help shape worldwide supply heading into 2027.
Additional uncertainty comes from the possibility of El Niño conditions later this year. Historically, El Niño has affected anchovy populations and fishing activity in Peru, creating even more pressure on the global fish oil market.
Why our source is different
True Grace omega-3s are sourced from MSC Certified Alaskan Pollock, one of the world's best-managed and most sustainable fisheries. The Alaska pollock fishery remains healthy, carefully monitored, and operationally stable.
Because our products are not dependent on Peruvian anchovy oil, we are insulated from many of the challenges currently affecting that part of the market. While no global supply chain is completely separate from broader market conditions, our sourcing strategy provides greater consistency and helps protect long-term product availability.
For us, sustainability has never been a marketing claim. It is a sourcing decision backed by independent certification and responsible fishery management.
What MSC certification means
The Marine Stewardship Council, or MSC, is an independent organization that recognizes fisheries meeting rigorous standards for environmental responsibility and long-term sustainability.
Choosing an MSC Certified source means supporting fisheries that prioritize healthy fish populations while protecting marine ecosystems for future generations. It also provides greater transparency throughout the supply chain, allowing you to know where your omega-3 comes from.
That commitment reflects the values behind every True Grace product. We believe quality begins long before an ingredient reaches the bottle.
Why this matters beyond today's headlines
Supply disruptions come and go. Responsible sourcing lasts much longer.
When you choose a True Grace omega-3, you're supporting a company that intentionally built its products around sustainability, transparency, and long-term stewardship from the very beginning. Today's fish oil shortages simply reinforce why those decisions matter.
We will continue monitoring developments across the global omega-3 market, but our commitment remains the same. We will keep choosing ingredients from responsible sources that support both exceptional nutrition and the health of the ecosystems they come from.
Because taking care of your health should never come at the expense of taking care of the planet.
