This has "Life's DHA" which is extracted from GMO algae using Hexane (gasoline by-product/solvent and toxic)

After reading this I wanted to know for myself. Found this article: http://cornucopia.org/DHA/DHA_QuestionsAnswers.pdf

A. Hoffman - will you please explain your claim of the Omegawise Krill oil being a terrible product which should be avoided at all costs. It seems a bit trite to make such a strong statement with no explanation.

I do not know. It is derived from brown seaweed extract. I had a noticeable improvement in my energy and mood though.

The bottle does not say exactly where they get the algae, just that it comes from "the colder waters of the world's oceans". NOW foods is based in Bloomingdale, IL. This product is taken to support thyroid function, which supports cellular metabolism.

320mg DHA, 130 EPA, omega 3 is from algae oil which is the best kind of algae

Yes i believe so. The FDA allows U.S. food oils to be prepared using hexane as an extraction method, and this is quite common for canola oil and grape seed oil. Learn more: http://www.naturalnews.com/044380_grape_seed_oil_hexane_gasoline_derivative.html#ixzz3aEHhebIk

The label says "PCB and Mercury Free". Here is the producer's website http://www.naturesway.com/Products/Essential-Fatty-Acids-EFAs/15682-EfaGold-Mega-DHA.aspx

No, it is meant for human consumption but because of recent studies showing how all spirulina contains heavy metals [as published on the website: www.naturalnews.com] I tossed the entire bag out. They hawk it for brain food [omega 3s]; so instead I went back to my old faithful which is Blue Green Algae. Algae is what fish eat in order to get the omega 3s which our brains so desperately needs. I hope this answered your question. Have a great day!

The label does not specify. The hexane extraction process is used for making biofuel rather than oil for human consumption. In terms of quality and safety, most opinions are that the forms used in supplements are acceptable. The omega-3 in cold extraction and chemical extraction for human consumption are equal. If you want a algae oil supplement that is cold pressed, specify that when you look for dietary supplements. Amazon sells cold pressed algae oil. Hope this helps.

No it is not. Read about Lovaza http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lovaza. Read about krill http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krill_oil

It contains two hydrocarbons acetone and heptane. These are not oils. What I like about it is that it can be used around food meeting the FDA regulation for lubricants with incidental food contact. It also has little odor.

The genes of soybeans grown in the US have been genetically modified (unless labeled "organic"). Maybe that's why soy-based products are toxic.

It does not. You can add DHA. Baby's only makes one to be added or alternatively you can buy some at a health food store. Some people believe the DHA that it is big name brand formula is potentially unsafe due to it being manufactured from algae vs. fish oil.

It is from a soy source, and since 90% or so of all soy is now genetically modified I would be highly surprised if this used non-GMO soy. If they did, they should be stating so as it would be a good selling point.
