What is the IFOS score for this fish oil product?
501230
The IFOS doesn't "score" fish oils in the sense of rating them against each other on a scale (no pun intended!), best to worst, but they do provide an analysis of just what's in them..and not in them. However, this product, like most wild salmon oils, is not on the IFOS. I do know, however, that theirs IS molecularly distilled, so it is clean. Wild salmon is (normally) very clean to begin with, but Solgar does their own additional cleaning and testing to ensure purity, potency, and freshness. If you want the details of how they do this, you can go to their website at solgardotcom. It is too long to post here. I know that Barlean's Wild and Whole salmon oil IS on the IFOS if that's what you're looking for. Hope that helps.

The product label does not breakdown the content by EPA and DHA. It does state that the total Fish oil is 2000mg and the total Omega 3 fatty acids are 600 mg. It also does state that it has EPA and DHA but does not give a content breakdown for either. Hope that helps you!

Krill oil does not have a fishy after taste or fishy burps. I hope this helps.

Yes, nordic naturals. I have read that the burping doesnt happen with higher quality/purer fish oil, and that has definitely been my experience.

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.

When using the word "better" you need to define paramaters. A naturally harvested cod liver oil, Carlson for example, is tested for mercury content and many other very dangerous chemicals that have found their way into most fish. Cod liver oil is higher in vitamin D content, the lack of which has recently been associated with MS, and several other very bad afflictions. On the less severe list of afflictions is joint pain, a feeling of just feeling crappy, arthritis-like pains in the back, and so forth. One of the better medical websites maintained by an MD who has been associated with vitamins and minerals recommends 2000 IU's of vitamin D per day but unfortunately, all this vitamin crap you find on the big chain store shelves is synthetic - which means you system AT BEST is only absorbing ten percent of what you take of the synthetic crapola. The Carlson cod liver oil is produced in Norway and even though a teaspoon only contains 400 IUs of D, it is very pure so your system absorbs it all. Unfortunately, to preserve the cod liver oil's freshness, vitamin A is added, which means that every teaspoonful of codliver oil also has about twice as many IUs of vitamin A. Excess amount of vitamin A can be hazardous to your liver. So, we can say that the naturally harvested cod liver oil is "better" because it has no contaminants and is far more easily absorbed by your system, but the higher content of vitamin A it contains to preserve freshness is not so good, which makes it less better? I am afraid of fish oil because most contain a lot of mercury, and purity has always been in question.

Hi Caspurr. Its me again. I just thought I let you know that I was referring to the Carlson Labs Elite Omega-3 Gems (700 mg of EPA & DHA per softgel capsule), and not the Carlson Super Omega-3 Gems (500 mg of EPA & DHA per softgel capsule). Sorry about the ambiguity on the last response. The Elite Gems are about $3 more expensive for only 120 softgels, 10 softgels less that the Carlson Super Omega-3 fish oil.

honestly, i have not been taking the Omega XL in the past year. I simply take the Carlson's Cod Liver Oil from Norway and it seems to be doing the job. I don't have any inflammatory conditions, etc. so i could not speak to those.

It is all natural and states an allergy warning for a small amount of soy derivative content. It is also pharmaceutical grade, which has always been a determining factor for me as being a good natural product. I have been using it for months now and can attest that it has no aftertaste and has porved to be a good product. Thanks for the other helpful info listed below too. It only affirms my choice. I've tried a handful of other fish oils and so far I've been impressed with this one.

If you're looking for a real good quality fish oil that is enteric coated and contains absolutely no fishy aftertaste I would recommend you look into this one Zahler Omega 3 Platinum 3000mg, Triple Strength All-Natural Pure Fish Oil Supplement, Burpless Softgel with No Fishy Aftertaste, Highest in EPA and DHA, The #1 Strongest Best Quality Fish Oil, Certified Kosher,60 Caps I've seen great results on this fish oil and I had no issue taking them. It's a real good quality Omega 3.

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

Sandra, label states: Fish Oil 1g, 1000mg. Provides 300 mg Omega 3 fatty acids comprised of EPA, DHA and other Fatty Acids. Spring Valley is distributed by Walmart. Visit Walmart where you can read entire label and discuss with Pharmacist. Best regards , Steve
