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. |
If
the label says the oil comes from a particular species 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 (to see why,
simply bite into a capsule to release the oil). There’s a
slightly more purified type of health food grade fishoils that
includes those that have been subjected to a very limited amount
of molecular distillation to remove some of the cholesterol in
order to be labeled "cholesterol-free".There’s also
another type of higher-grade health-food fishoils known as
"fishoil concentrate." This type of fishoil consists
of ethyl esters of the fishoil that has been subjected to
fractional cooling. |
Sealogix Omega-3TM
starts with the highest health food grade fishoil and then goes
through the following painstaking refining processes:
Winterization at a very low
temperature to remove additional amounts of saturated fats.·
True molecular distillation process, the final refining process
to assure removal of all man made pollutants such as PCB's,
dioxins and mercury.·
Rigorous analysis and certification by an Independent Lab before
product formulation. The result is highly pure
ultra refined fishoil, formerly known as pharmaceutical-grade.

A
typical one-teaspoon serving of cod liver oil contains 500 mg.
of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. |
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
fishoil may contain up to 500 mg. of long-chain omega-3 fatty
acids. |
A
one-gram capsule of Sealogix Omega-3 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
fishoils. One teaspoon of the liquid Sealogix Omega-3 contains 1.8
grams of EPA and 0.9 grams of DHA. |

Typical
health-food grade fishoils 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. |
It
is so pure and refined, Sealogix Omega-3 contains 1,000 times less
PCB's and other contaminants than health food grade fishoils. |
