Can anyone explain why the "Triglyceride Form" of fish oil is considered "Superior"?

Research in Germany and (Denmark too I believe)...shows that your Omega 3 index increases faster with the Triglyceride form...and there is quicker absorption too...so you get more for your $ :)

"Triglyceride Form" fish oil is more easily absorbed than regular fish oil. Nordic Naturals uses Triglyceride Form fish oil, and according to their website it is absorbed 70% better than regular fish oil. Its something to consider when purchasing a fish oil supplement. You should try to find out if the brand you're buying is "Triglyceride" or "Ethyl Ester" fish oil. Generally speaking Triglyceride form fish oil is better absorbed and more easily digested. It also tends to be more expensive. Eklund and Nordic Naturals are the only 2 brands I know that sell the Triglyceride form of fish oil.

The carlson fish oil has a higher concentration of EPA and DHA vs the cod liver oil

By "what is" I assume you mean what are the amounts of ingredients of the two fatty acids, not what is their function or definition. As listed on the label, the NB Fish Oil 1400mg provides the following: Each capsule (softgel) contains 1400mg. of Fish Oil, providing 980mg. of total Omega-3 Fatty Acids, comprised of the following: EPA.......647mg. DHA......253mg., plus "other fatty acids" in unspecified amounts. It is derived from fish, anchovy, mackerel, and sardines. If you have further questions, please feel free.

It's just fish oil. The claim to improve mood is based on what they claim is a high EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid, a type of Omega 3) content. It looks like the EPA is 50% of the total Omega 3 (1000mg out of a 2000mg serving) and the fish oil I now take (Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega) has approximately the same ratio (650mg of EPA ourt of 1280mg total Omega 3).

According to the manfacturer State-of-the-art molecular distillation is used to remove PCBs and dioxins which guarantees purity and potency. Mercury levels are undetectable, less than 0.1 parts per million. I switched from this to Triglyceride Omega-3 Gold because it has a higher content of EPA and DHA which are the ingredients that lower triglycerides. This matches the amount of fish oil in the prescription drug Lovaza.

Thanks for your interest. This fish oil contains the concentrated Ester form.

This may be a more trivial answer, but the bottle is much messier than Carlson's bottles. The Carlson's bottles pour very well. This one tends to accumulate drips on the sides.Given that you have to trust what's on the label anyway, it's hard to know whether the Omega-3 content is any better or worse. I felt comfortable switching from Carlson's after doing some research on their testing.

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

Omega -3 is derived from anchovy oil and sardine oil. I would research both to see what the is the percentage of vitamin E in each?

Ultra Omega 3 is concentrated in the ethyl ester form, and the regular omega-3 is the natural triglyceride form (not concentrated). Hope that helps.

The ingredients says purified deep sea fish oil from anchovies and sardines .so i guess both would be the answer for your question! I hope that helps

I don't think fish oil can be "organic" but it is sourced from wild fish (not farmed) which is good. It's important for what we grow and what we farm (beef, chicken etc.) to be organic but fish isn't the kind of species that can be "organic".

Sorry that I can't answer your immediate question, but check out this site. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/08/14/is-krill-oil-48-times-better-than-fish-oil.aspx I don't know if it's a truthful review or biased in some way. I have taken the krill oil for the last several months and I feel better than ever. I even cut back to 1 capsule a day. The problem is omega 3 is a product that works in the background and doesn't present immediate benefits. So whether it's the krill oil or something else, I can't be certain. You might investigate web sites to get a better response to your question.

I take it with omega 3 fish oil. So yes its best to take with some kind of fat, preferably with a meal.

I am sorry, I do not see anywhere on the bottle that the information you are looking for is available. Only the EPA and DHA from fish oil.
