Do you know the answers to these questions?

Fish Oil – Best Source
The best source of fish oil are small inexpensive species from deep cold oceans used in its entirety and harvested for the sole purpose of producing rich of omega 3 fish oil such as Herring, Sardines, Mackerel and Anchovies. These small species are from the wild and have not been swimming long enough to pick up much or any contamination. I mention inexpensive because an alarm should go off when fish oil is produced from a high yielding priced fish such as Salmon, Tuna, and Swordfish etc. Many fish oil and pet food producers are used as dumping grounds for discarded fish parts from fish processors.
Bottom Line – take fish oil made of Herring, Sardines, Mackerel and Anchovies.

Molecularly Distilled Fish Oil
Molecular distillation is costly effective processes, pasted on to the consumer that removes and purify fish oil. In today’s world with our oceans as polluted as they are, fish oil consumers should be very a ware of this process. Molecular distillation removes metals, PCBs and other harmful toxins to a level that is not humanly possible to detect with any method used today. Modularly Distilled is not mentioned when a producer or distributor is selling a lower quality fish oil.
Bottom Line – only buy Molecularly Distilled Fish Oil

Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil
If you are buying and paying more for your fish oil simply because it is Pharmaceutical Grade you have been mislead and nothing disturbs me more than someone, normally titled as Doctor, states (the fish oil used in this study is Pharmaceutical Grade and should not be confused with the typical off the shelf fish oil). Either these doctors have special interest in the products being tested or oblivious to the truth about Omega 3 fish oil. The wording “Pharmaceutical Grade” is normally associated with producers of concentrated fish oil and very misleading. The wording was coined simply as a marketing gimmick to separate their concentrated product from non- concentrated all natural oil. There is no official‘meaning of ‘ Pharmaceutical Grade‘ fish oil, as there is no agency that oversees the quality of fish oils or standards set to match, up against, in making a fish oil “Pharmaceutical Grade in the United States.
Bottom Line – don’t be fooled simply because it said “Pharmaceutical Grade”

Concentrated Fish Oil
To concentrate is to separate and remove a component from a substance. The popularity and health benefits of DHA and EPA fatty acids found in fish oil are well known and documented. To avoid taking more than 3 capsules a day, some manufactures have taken out a natural component of the fish oil to compound the EPA and DHA fatty acids and eliminate taking 2 to 3 capsules a day. In liquid form a non-concentrate will have 1600 to 1800mg. EPA & DHA in a teaspoon depending on season and catch verses 2700 EPA & DHA in a teaspoon of concentrate fish oil. The process of concentrating fish oil is very expensive and passed on to the consumer; a concentrate can cost as much as 7 times the cost of non-concentrate fish oil.
Bottom Line: buy a liquid non-concentrated with its all the natural components of the fish oil in tact with 1600 to 1800mg of EPA & DHA fatty acids per teaspoon to maintain good health.
Gelatin Capsules or Alternative Source Capsules
Although this risk seems to be low and there is some evidence that gelatin in doses up to 10 grams daily can be safely used for up to 6 months many experts advice against using animal-derived supplements with fear that unsafe manufacturing practice might lead to contamination from diseased animal tissues including those that might transmit mad cow disease. Gelatin has been known to have an unpleasant taste, sensation of heaviness in the stomach, bloating, heartburn, belching and can cause allergic reactions in some people.
Pregnant and breast-feeding: Not enough is known about the use of gelatin during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.

Alternative sources of gelatin can be associated with health problems of their own. Natural gel sources such as agar-agar (a seaweed), carrageenan, pectin, or konjak may have a role in intestinal inflammation and possibly inflammatory bowel disease.
Bottom Line – buy flavored fish oil in liquid form

Liquid Form
Liquid Form is the most natural and effective means for digesting the essential fatty acids your body needs and it is in your blood stream and brain with in minutes after taking it. Some companies use All Natural Flavors that taste good and have nutritional values and health benefits of its own. (See Ventura Products Ingredients at www.omega3fishoil.com)

Ingredients
The ingredients used in fish oil are of the utmost important, not only used for flavoring it is also used to stabilize and slow the process of oxidation. Most fish oil ingredients do not vary by much with the better products using d-alpha tocopherol (vitamin E) Lemon and or Rosemary Extracts. Artificial extracts do not, as a rule, possess the delicacy of the fruit flavor or benefits, but they get sufficiently close to be of real service and convenience when true essences are unobtainable or considered to be too expensive.

Bottom Line – Although the ingredients is one of the most important elements of fish oil that can have nutritional and add health benefit of it’s own most major brand fish oil diversify by very little.

See Ingredients; www.omega3fishoil.com formulated with pure cold compressed Lemon Oil, Oregano Oil, and Rosemary Oil, flavored with Cran-Raspberry Oil. Also sold at Pathmark Supermarkets and coming to a store near you.

Prescription Fish Oil
Unless they have something to hide  all fish oil companies should be transparent and there is very little information about the Prescription Omega 3 Fish Oil other than it takes a prescription and it costs allot of money. I have no idea what would make it a Prescription Fish Oil.

Children Fish Oil Capsules
Researchers evaluated the nutritional content of 14 vitamin supplements and a number of fish oil and omega-3 capsules for children and found fish oil capsules often contained such low levels of omega-3 fatty acids that the researchers judged them “unlikely” to affect children’s health or cognitive function. Many children’s vitamins contain so few nutrients in such low doses that they are no healthier than candy.

Supermarket Supplements
We are lead to believe that supermarkets quality supplements are of poor quality and perhaps in the past it may have been so but times have changed, with health conscious consumers and new labeling requirements, there are more nutritionists working for supermarkets than there are working in Health Food Stores, sometimes, one nutritionist for every two stores.

Ventura Products will not partner with Supermarkets that do not understand the benefits of our Omega Gold and what makes it so different from all the rest. We make “Omega Gold” better than other than any other fish oil, affordable and want it in convenient shopping locations.

Buy fish oil that is Molecular Distillation that removes metals, PCBs and other harmful toxins

Made in the U.S.A

Because a product it is distributed by a USA company does not made it USA made,
More than ninety percent of all Fish Oil consumed in the U.S is sold in capsule form, with sixty five percent being imported from China. I am not criticizing China made products I am suggesting that all products made for human consumption should be required to state where the product originated from.
