http://www23.netrition.com/hfts_ultra_omega3_fish_oil_page.html I want to buy fish oil. I know it's better from the body oils, rather than the liver. I use Health From The Sun's flaxseed oil from that same website. Their descrip. of the product says: "Ultra Omega-3 Fish Oil is extracted from fresh deep sea cold water fish and is derived from fish body oils, not fish liver oils." Should I trust this? Does this product look good? I've heard antioxidants and vitamin E should be present to sustain the life of the EPA/DHA in the fish oil, but I don't know how true that is. I just want to make sure I don't waste my money!
Health From the Sun is considered a reputable brand in the fish oil world. A small amount of vit. E is used to stabilize the fish oil as it oxidizes quickly.
I have some Nature Made Flax and picked some Fish oils from Costco. Does anyone have an opinion on these? I eat a decent amount of fish, canned tuna and fresh salmon (beni of being in the NW + Costco has awesome deals on various fish) I need to do more fat research! LOL Sphinx.
The only practical source of EPA/DHA is fish or fish oil. There is still controversy over the efficiacy of the conversion of ALA to DHA/EPA in the body and circumstances that might impair such. Personally, I take about 2.5g of EPA/DHA via 6g of fish oil and also take in about 1.5 tbsp flax oil. I end up with sat/mono/poly fats at about 15g/50g/25g.
