What source does this fish oil come from? Is it from wild or farmed fish?

It's confusing. The website mentions the coast of Peru but the bottle says "Norwegian Fish Oil."

Krill oil has Omega 3 but is not from fish. It does not leave you with a fishy taste in your mouth. Good stuff!

It is composed of various fats, including large amounts of omega 3 and omega 6. The largest percentage is that of the omega 3 essential fatty acids. This is wild salmon oil.

So one answer was, "This particular mink oil is natural." Saying that it's natural could mean that this is 5% mink oil, and 95% other animal fats or vegetable oil etc. Does anyone know what the ingredients are? I'd really like to know what the breakdown is.

This is from Kirkland's website: Kirkland Signature fish supply comes from deep ocean waters. Our fish oil is not supplied from farm-raised fish. State-of-the-art molecular distillation process is used to remove mercury, PCBs and dioxins, which guarantees purity and potency with reduced fish odor, on all Kirkland Signature fish oil products.

NO. It is not. As has been said, you can take both because Flax oil only contains omega-3 in ALA form (check the label) and that form, as with all plant-sourced omega-3 (except for algae), is very hard for our bodies to convert to any useful omega-3s (EPA and DHA). Fish oils, on the other hand, are "good to go" with no conversion necessary. I love flax for its moisturizing abilities, but also take fish oil as my real omega-3 source. As for flax being somehow cleaner because this one is organic, look for a molecularly distilled, domestic (Alaskan) type of fish oil (or just pure wild salmon oil) and you will be fine. I use Fisol by Nature's Way. Clean and Alaskan pollack and hake sourced.

If your choice has seed oils I think those are organic (I know the flax is for sure) The fish is fresh and I believe wild caught, but obviously from the ocean, so can't be certified organic. I did not see anything on the Barlean's website about the metals...

It is not from fish but from "Calimari" you can google PharmaMarineAS for all information.Distributed by Healthy Directions Potomac MD 20854

The oil is derived from wild caught Alaska Salmon, they are not farmed. I do not know if they use the whole body or just the liver.
