Grades of Fish Oil - Do Your Homework
Ultra-Refined fish oil maintains a higher level of fish oil purity and quality standards than health food store grades of fish oil. Consumers must be very careful when choosing a fish oil supplement that is called “Pharmaceutical Grade fish oil”. On the Internet or in advertisements you may read that a specific fish oil is “Pharmaceutical Grade” but anyone can say that with out proving to the consumer what it means. Make sure you choose an ultra-refined fish oil supplement like Sealogix fish oil that is tested by an independent third party for concentration, purity and stability like ultra-refined Sealogix fish oil as your fish oil supplement. Be careful when choosing a grade of fish oil.
There are basically three grades of fish oil supplements which include Cod Liver Fish Oil, Health Food Grade Fish Oil supplements and Ultra-Refined Pharmaceutical-Grade Fish Oil. There is also a significant difference in price you pay. See the comparison chart Compare Sealogix™ ultra-refined fish oil to other grades
Cod Liver Oil:
- Quality- This is what Grandma used to give your parents. It is
the lowest quality fish oil. 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 fish oil.
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
Sealogix ultra-refined 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 Grades of 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 fish oil.
These oils are only sold in soft gelatin capsules because they
still have an extremely poor taste profile. Requires twice the
dosage as Sealogix ultra-refined fish oil. 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 supplement 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 fish oils 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 grades of fish oil supplements contain 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.
Sealogix Ultra-Refined Fish
- 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.
- Sealogix ultra-refined fish oil supplements taste relatively good because they are so purified.
- Rigorous analysis and certification by an Independent Lab before product formulation. The result is pure Ultra Refined fish oil.
