What process is used to make this salmon oil? Is the fish wild or farmed & where are they from? Is it using the whole body or just livers?

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.

I would contact the company at their yummy chummies website to get the answers you seek. They are a small family run company and will probably be pleased to speak with you.

Plus, they define "natural" in their description; "Vitamin D3 GOLD is made from Lanolin - a natural source (NOT artificially made in labs or from possibly impure fish liver)" n.b.. Fish liver is "natural" too, but they are right to say that it is often contaminated, especially with heavy metals. I live in an area where it is recommended that native fish be eaten only once a week, and not at all by pregnant women, because the waters are contaminated. All those toxins are the most concentrated in the liver.

Their website has nice info regarding the fish oil and how it compares to other fish oils on the market. Very minimal processing, comes from salmon, if I recall correctly. I did some research before choosing and have been very satisfied.

Our fish oil is sourced from anchovies and mackerel, which swim in the cold Humboldt Current in Chili (they are not farm raised).Thanks, Kurt - Young Life Research

If you really want to know if it's organic, why don't you ask the company. I don't believe that they use farm raised fish for the product. They are a local company to the PNW. It is all fish oil that I can attest to, as I did the frozen gel capsule test and it proved that the oil inside was indeed 100% fish oil, since fish oil doesn't freeze unlike soy oil, vegetable oil and even olive oil.

HI - i copied this from their website - This wild caught albacore comes from the pristine waters off the Pacific Northwest in the United Stateshttp://www.wildplanetfoods.com/Facts-and-Questions.html#faq2http://www.wildplanetfoods.com/Sourcing-and-Fish-Facts.htmlGreenpeace #1 - http://www.wildplanetfoods.com/The flavor, quality, and sourcing of this product is worth the price. It is more nutritious than other brand because they line and troll fish - hand selecting each fish.

The inside label states that they use wild caught krill and cod, never farm raised. Also, the butter oil is from free range grass fed cattle never administered antibiotics or hormones. They strive to get the best sources of fish from cold waters. Because this product is not pasteurized, they make extra efforts and make it the way our ancestors did by fermenting the oil to archive the best results. They also test for metals and toxins in small batches to ensure consistency. Hope this helps.

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. NO. It is not.

NO---Krill oil is produced from the Krill fish which are almost microscopic to only a couple millimeters long and from the coldest waters of the Antarctic. The colour of the Krill is much deeper red or brown. The deeper the colour also will denote the better antioxident power. Granted, Cod Liver Oil is an excellent supplement, especially if it is a cold processed type like the NOW brand. Many are heat processed which will easily become rancid. Try Krill oil, especially if you have a cholesterol or trigliceride imbalance, joint issues, arthritis, or distressed immune system. Hope this helps.

Half of the nutrients are in the bones and skins - also great flavor. I also prefer sardines in oil! ☼ Bud ☼

pollock oil and tocopherols are the listed. I have used both salmon and pollock oils. I think my dogs also liked the salmon better. Right now I am giving them coconut oil.

Hi, the only thing I know is that it is natural, from the fish liver, not artificial.

If you contact the seller they will answer that question. I have never found better Salmon in the can than this one. They catch and process this product and take great pride in the "sustainable" aspect of it.

The salmon is the first ingredient but does not say if it is farmed or wild. You can call the company at 1-800--2833 or go to BlueBuffalo.com Personally I hope it is farmed so that the wild caught salmon don't become extinct due to over fishing. Hope this helps.

Sorry. I dont know the answer. All I know it is made with Artic Cod fish oil. If that helps.
