Fish Oil Grades

Are There Different Grades of Fishoil Supplements?

Yes there are different Fishoil Grades. Our Our ultra refined fishoil maintains a higher level of fish oil purity and quality standards than health food grade fishoil. Consumers must be very careful when choosing a fishoil supplement that is called “Pharmaceutical Grade fish oil”. On the Internet or in advertisements you may read that a specific fishoil is “Pharmaceutical Grade” but anyone can say that with out proving to the consumer what it means. Make sure you choose an ultra pure fishoil supplement. Be sure the fish oil is tested by an independent third party for concentration, purity and stability. Our ultra pure fishoil is twice as potent and 100 times more pure than health food grade fishoils.

There are basically three grades of fish oil which include Cod Liver Fish Oil, Health-Food Grade FishOil and Pharmaceutical-Grade Fish Oil. There is also a significant difference in price you pay.

Cod Liver Oil:

Quality- This is what Grandma used to give your parents. It is the lowest quality fishoil. High dose usage of cod liver oil is not recommended due to the high levels of Vitamin A and contaminants found in this form of fishoil. Relatively high saturated fat content. Strong dead fish taste because of impurities.
Potency- A typical one-teaspoon serving of cod liver oil contains 500 mg. of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. Almost 2 tablespoons of cod liver oil are required to obtain the same 2700 mg. dose of long-chain omega 3 fatty acids as one teaspoon of high concentrates of liquid fish oil.
Safety- Not safe at high levels. It has the highest levels of contaminants (organic mercury, PCB's and DDT). Can cause gastric upset including nausea.

Health Food Store Grade Fish Oil:

Quality- If the label says the oil comes from a particular species of fish such as salmon oil then you know it is health-food grade fishoil. These oils are only sold in soft gelatin capsules because they still have an extremely poor taste profile. Requires twice the dosage as concentrated EPA/DHA fishoil. May contain man made pollutants such as PCB's, dioxin and mercury. Can cause gastric upset including nausea. Relatively high content of saturated fat.
Potency- A typical one-gram capsule of health-food grade fish oil contains approximately 300 mg. of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. A one-gram capsule of thermally fractionated health-food grade fish oil may contain up to 500 mg. of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. For most health food grade fishoils it requires 8 one-gram capsules per day to obtain 2400 mg of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids.
Safety- It is questionable if safe at high levels. Typical health-food grade fish oil contains varying amounts of contaminants. In addition, the fractional cooling method does not remove the PCB's or the long-chain monoene fatty acids that give rise to significant gastric distress.

Pure Ultra Refined Fish Oil:

Quality- Our fishoil starts with the highest health food store grade fish oil and then goes through the following painstaking refining processes for fish oil purity:
- True molecular distillation process, the final refining process to assure removal of all man made pollutants such as PCB's, dioxins and mercury.
- Winterization at a very low temperature to remove additional amounts of saturated fats.
- Low saturated fat content. Will not freeze.
- Ultra refined fish oil tastes relatively good because it is purified to remove the impurities in the oil.
- Rigorous analysis and certification by an Independent Lab before product formulation. The result is highly pure Ultra Refined fish oil.

Potency- A one-gram capsule of our fishoil contains 600 mg. of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids with 5 I.U. of Vitamin E per gram of fish oil. It has twice the EPA and DHA as found in health-food grade fish oil. One teaspoon of the liquid fish oil contains 1.8 grams of EPA and 0.9 grams of DHA.

Safety- It is so pure and refined, our fishoil contains 100s times less PCB's and other contaminants usually found in health food grade fish oil. It rarely causes gastric upset.
