Best Fish Oil?

[powercage]

brand isn't going to matter if it's a quality fish oil and many are on the market.

Most are crap.

[powercage]

Fish Oil is big business, plenty of good name brands who produce it.

I realize you are a troll, just felt some reality needed to be interjected.

What the helll????
That's the highest dosed fish oil I've ever seen.

pill size is 1600mg which is bigger than the typical 1000mg. so you're gonna get more EPA/DHA. the concentration comes out to be ~70%

Most are crap.

what makes you think most are crap?

Testing, label dosages, sourcing

I personally take MyProteins Omega 369. Very good ratio IMO

Testing, label dosages, sourcing

Testing: IFOS (runs a strict standard) currently has around a hundred brands that are certified. and this is counting only the brands that are voluntarily subscribed to their program and received their highest 5-star rating. they also include and pass TOTOX (peroxidation/degradation). i don't think oximega has posted TOTOX values which i believe is just as important as impurity levels and meeting label claims.

Label dosage: in conjunction with all the products meeting label claims with IFOS, i think we all prefer higher concentrated fish oil when given the choice. but the naturally occuring 30% EPA/DHA is not inherently inferior or of less quality. for example, nordic naturals has regular fish oil that is only 30%. sure, it is inconvenient to take and reach desired levels, but certainly not low quality.

in terms of sourcing, probably over 90% of fish oils are harvested in peru/south america from major fisheries like austral group/copeinca. we've had this discussion before but even brands labeled as nordic fish oil comes from peru but just processed in norway. what i would like to know in detail is where oximega gets their raws from if you really want to get into sourcing. since it is labeled as nordic, probably one of the few suppliers i'd trust is EPAX. but considering CL is a relatively small company (versus a major chain brand like nature made or warehouse brands) and runs sales/promotions all the time, i don't think using EPAX makes much financial sense.

Testing: I have seen tests on even brands being recommended in this very thread not meeting label claims. TOTOX is definitely important, if I get the go ahead I dont mind sharing tests with you. I think you can agree that we share more tests with the community than most other companies on our entire range of products. You can find TOTOX at Labdoor (although I loath recommending them). That was part of their battery of tests when we asked them to redo their third party test of Oximega and they did not issue any concerns over Oximega.

Label Dosage: Your comment isnt really relative to the conversation here, or you took it completely out of context. I even stated earlier that Nordic Naturals is quality. It doesnt help when a large portion of companies recommend lower than the AHA recommended guidelines for intake of their product, let alone what active people should probably be taking. I've seen a very large portion dosed at a very effective placebo amount daily. "Take 3 caps daily" doesnt necessarily mean anything when it contains 500mg of EPA + DHA per 3 caps.

Sourcing: I'd recommend emailing info@controlledlabs.com if you are curious.

i misunderstood the meaning of what you meant by "label dosage".

no knock on CL or you, powercage. you guys are certainly of one of few good brands out there in this industry. it just seems to me that you should be unleashing so much fury and truth but being a rep is holding you back. give up the position and taste the freedom.

Yea, it definitely hamstrings me at times.

The highest concentration that I have found of EPA, DHA, and other Omegas at a single 5ml (1 teaspoon) is SFH and their SO3 Omega fish oil.
SFH SO3 Omega

For 1 tsp (5ml) serving it has 2,000 mg EPA, 1,100 mg DHA, 400 mg other omegas.......so your total is around 3,500 mgs....cost is $1.04 a teaspoon.
I have only tried the Lemon flavor but it is fine....sort of like lemon oil. The company lists their 3rd party testing but not exact results so a person might email them for exact results if serious.

one serving (5ml) = 5 grams. so the concentration of EPA/DHA is ~65%.

one thing about liquid fish oil is that it can oxidize more quickly vs. encapsulated fish oil. better to consume it quickly once opened. i would like to see that particular product use additional antioxidants (besides vitamin E). and you can actually see their test results on IFOS website.

i think the highest i've seen is minami platinum which i believe uses EPAX TGN oil which is 90% EPA/DHA concentration.

He's the hero this board deserves, but not the one it needs right now.

I just went to their website and did the math......and you are correct. It appears to be a very nice product indeed. Thanks for the heads up!

Gotta give a shout out to MP Fish Oil. Works great for me and love the fact that it has no fishy aftertaste or burps. Currently has a B2G1 deal going on in the store as well!!

[Neopragmatist]
