Is this the preferredTriglyceride form or is it the dreaded Ethyl Ester?

It says on the label that it's concentrated by molecular distillation (which 2yrs ago everybody was saying was the best!) so there probably are some EEs. The top 2 Google (TM) hits are diametrically opposed on whether it actually matters: http://www.ascentahealth.com/health-science/science-articles/fish-oil-triglycerides-vs-ethyl-esters-as-nature-intended http://www.sciencebasedhealth.com/Fish-Oil-EE-vs-TG-omega-3s-which-is-better-W119.aspx The Ascenta website has a test you can do: you put 20ml of your fish oil in a styrofoam cup. EEs will leak through it in 10min, triglycerides won't. Tempted to do it, because now you've got me curious, but I wonder how many of these capsules I'll have to squeeze open to get 20ml? I picked these because I wanted buckets of DHA for my brain. I'd like to see some quantitative data: for instance, one of these supposedly has 500mg DHA, whereas maybe a triglyceride one only has 80. So if this DHA is only, say, half as bioavailable as the triglyceride, I'm getting 250mg from this one which is STILL better than 80. Also, even the EEs-are-bad articles seem to say it only actively harms people who have certain conditions or are taking certain other meds - though I admit I skimmed, because the whole "last year's Underdog's Super Energy Pill is this year's poison" thing gives me a fatal Out-of-Patience Error.

They never answered, but I found out that almost all Inositol sold is the Myo-Inositol kind, it is the cheapest. Got it from another vendor, just to be sure.

The bottle says the DPA comes from ethyl esters. It says it is clinically proven to maintain healthy triglyceride levels. No fishy taste for me. One of the highest potencies on the market. Even my doctor, who was trying to push the brand he sold at his office, had to admit this was a quality brand. Expensive, but worth it.

The right kind of saturated fat is fine. Extra virgin coconut oil is the right kind. It goes directly to energy and warmth, not to fat. Great in winter. If you tend to feel chilly, you'll notice the difference.

It is stevia rebaudiana (leaf) which I believe is the only form of stevia approved by the FDA as a sweetener. I am; however, not too happy with this sweetener right now. Nunaturals changed their supplier and the product is not as thick as before. It easily drips from the stopper and is not as sweet as it used to be.

I prefer the liquid form as I can be a little more accurate with the application which serves to conserve some product as well. You really aren't going to go wrong with either, great products.

I would say it is more herbaceous. I don't find it an unpleasant odor but I could see how someone unfamiliar with the oil might be a little "put off" by the smell.

I do not see that phrase on the bottle, but I know I read it before ordering. That said, I do not like the feel on my skin. I am pretty picky though.

Since I use a variety of high-quality fish oil supplements, I can state that I investigated the issue thoroughly prior to testing. If it had been produced in any questionable locale or by any suspect company, I would never have agreed to reviewing the product. My primary objection to the product was its unnecessary use of soybean oil. There are always options to this ingredient. Given that objection, Eklund's was one of the only Omega 3 products I could "feel," eg. it potentiated the positive effects of antidepressants I've used over time and appeared to benefit mood regulation, too.

Hi Snow C. No, New Chapter Wholemega does not contain Ethyl Ester. That chemical is used as an extraction method by some companies but New Chapter "presses" out the oil similar to the process of making olive oil. I would recommend reaching out to the manufacturer for more detailed information. Let us know if we can help you with anything else? --Regards Holly Hill Health Foods

The first one is ethyl acetate. I would need a magnifying glass to figure out the rest, and there are many. Hope this helps a little.

This one is not meant to ingest. NOW has coconut oil on the food section that you can eat. This one is meant more for beauty and topical.

As far as I ca tell it's not. It's cold pressed. Hope this helps and if you order it you like it... I like the taste but this is the first time I've tried macadamia nut oil. Been using it for a salad dressing...

Does not tell you on the label. It is ok. I have tasted better that is not so heavy. I would say this is a cooking oil and not so great as a salad or dipping oil.

Hi Randy. I looked, but there was no mention of viscosity on the vial? I can tell you that it is a fairly low viscosity oil, since it is quite thin, and flows very rapidly. This silicone oil is used in the compression chambers of the springer, or nitro piston guns, where a petroleum based oil may result in a dangerous combustion.

I had no after taste. I always take it before a meal. Some have put these in the freezer and that will also work. This is a great lost product. Two softgels gives the recommended American Heart Association's dose for those without heart disease. Mke sure you get the Natural one and not the enteric. The enteric one is not fish oil despite the label saying "Fish Oil." Pixe
