First I visited the supermarkets and herbal stores and found that 90% of the fish oil sold is ineffective if not downright harmful to your health. Low grade fish oils are dangerous because of pollutants such as mercury or even carcinogens such as dioxins and PCB’s. So how to choose a good quality fish oil with no contaminants and high in omega 3's.
High quality fish oil supplements containing a very high percentage of omega 3 (above (60%) must be inspected by an independent institution recognized by the world’s leading manufacturers of omega 3. This institute is named IFOS -International Fish Oil Standards based at the University of Guelph in Canada and on their website you can find an updated list of companies and the analysis of their products.
High quality fish oil which is virtually 100% pure is called “Pharmaceutical Grade” (PGFO).
Of the 15 companies or so that produce pharmaceutical grade fish oil certified by the IFOS, the best buy is Omega-3 PGFO from A-M B-Well inc. This is because prices are discounted up to 40% compared to competitors if you buy more than one bottle. Also A-M B-Well produces the purest of the pharmaceutical grades. They also ship worldwide and shipping is free when you buy more than 1 bottles or by the case. Here is a link to their latest 5 star certificate of purity. I was also impressed by the statement by the owner Anne-Marie, where she says on the website, “The reason we decided to change is so that we could stay true to our mission and make pharmaceutical grade fish oil affordable to all walks of life". The website is quite impressive as well. Full of information and lots of info on “the Zone” if you are into that. There is also very informative forums and the website is clean from irrelevant ads, stays on topic, and is easy to navigate.
So if you are looking for a better omega 3 supplement than you are already on or looking to start taking fish oil to get your omega 3’s. I strongly suggest you give Omega-3 PGFO by A-M B-Well a try first. You will not be disappointed. You can visit the order page by clicking here.
