I don't have Spring Valley bottle now, have Nature Made bottle (on side says "comes from deep ocean waters...not supplied from farm raised") ... also, googled and found Dr. Weil website that says "fish oil is found in the fatty tissues of cold water, oily fish. It is also available in supplement form for those who eat little or no fish". sounds cold water to me from the "deep ocean waters" reference first.

According to the label and literature when I last checked a few months ago, this oil comes from cold water ocean fish, not farmed......This is a reputable brand as well....and the price is reasonable.....drink it down with some warm water is one good way............

This is from the Eklund site: We produce our fish oil from wild Anchovies and Sardines from the South Pacific Ocean off the coast of Peru. The Peruvian Fishery is consistently ranked as one of the worlds most sustainable fishing grounds, and in 2008 the Peruvian Fishery was ranked the worlds most sustainable. We consider only the top 5% of raw materials available, selecting fish that are naturally low in environmental toxins, while high in beneficial Omega 3 Fatty Acids. We never use farmed fish, and can trace the source of every batch of fish oil we produce. Then they are processed in Norway.

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.

Yes, I believe so. I did my research on the fish oil and it seem the best. It has a good amount of omega-3's, the amount we should be in taking.

Hello Erin,The ingredients in this product are Vitamin A under the other ingredients it contains: softgel capsule (gelatin, glycerin, water) and soybean oil. Unfortunately NOW Foods does not carry another Vitamin A from Fish Oil. Please search Amazon for any other options. -Kally N

I initially answered I don't know. But I found an empty bottle and it says that it is Norweigen fish oil on the ingredient list, but it does not state where it is made. It does say Carlson labs is in Chicago IL though.

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. The fish oil is derived from a variety of fish species, to maximize omega-3 fatty acid concentration.

I'm not sure, you will need to ask the manufacturer. I just noticed this product contains carragenaan (inflammatory agent) and sorbitol...too bad, we really need a good non-fish source of long-chained omega-3 fatty acids. However, vegetable oil contains ALA (alpha linolenic acid) which is the only 'essential' omega-3 for humans as we can metabolize this into the longer chained forms of EPA and DHA.

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.

For as long as I've use salmon oil, I've not refrigerated and have not had it spoiled. I live in Hawaii...the tropics. Recently I 've switched to Icelandic Anchovy Sardine Oil as Anchovies are not bottom feeders so less heavy metals.

According to the ingredient label it says it is made from "purified deep sea fish oil (from anchovies and sardines)"
