    NOW Fish oil vs. NOW Salmon Oil

    I noticed that NOW has Salmon Oil about four months ago, and I have used it. What I'd like to know is if there is anything that is would be more beneficial from using salmon oil vs. regular fish oil? I would think they would have similar benefits and amounts-------though I've heard the highest amounts of Omega 3s are found in salmon. Any thoughts?

    That would proably be the only advantage to the salmon over regular fish oil.

    NOW Super EPA is by far better than the salmon oil. Just compare the epa/dha to each other.

    Salom: EPA240mg, DHA 160mg

    Super: EPA720mg, DHA480mg

    This translates to higher potency and needing less caps.

    I'm not sure but looking on this web site, the salmon oil might have less.

    2, 1000? mg salmon oil:
    Serving Size: 2 Softgels
    Servings Per Container: 50

    Amount Per Serving:
    Calories 20
    Total Fat 2g 3%

    Omega-3 fatty acids 400mg
    Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) 240mg
    Docosahaxaenoic Acid (DHA) 160mg

    Fish oil:
    Serving Size: 1 Softgel
    Servings Per Container: 60

    Amount Per Serving:

    Calories 10
    Calories from fat 10
    Total Fat 1g 2%

    Fish oil concentrate: 1000mg
    -Omega-3 EPA (300mg)
    -Omega-3 DHA (200mg)

    That looks like more from 1 softgel of fish oil vs. 2 softgels of salmon oil. Apparently they are the same quantity but it does not say how big the salmon oil softgel is. It does say the serving size of 2 softgels is 2 grams of fat for salmon oil and the 1 softgel serving of fish oil is 1 gram so I guess they are both 1000 mg softgels.

    LOL. No, it wasn't. I saw it after I posted mine and it seems clear enough to me that (coldwater) fish oil is more potent than salmon oil.

    Thanks! I was not aware of this product, and it does seem to blow away the salmon oil.
