How to Determine the Quality of Fish Oil

Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil versus Health Food Store Grade

Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil has the toxins removed from the fish oil and has more purified concentrated fatty acids so it is a more potent version. It takes about 100 gallons of what you find in a typical heath food store to make one gallon of Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil. That makes it highly concentrated and highly pure.

Fish oil in a health food store comes from basically crude fish oil. To get fish oil, you squeeze it out of the fish. The toxins are fat soluble and contained in the oil. The newer refining processes can now deliver concentrated fish oil without the impurities. We now have a powerful way to help control inflammation with purified concentrated fish oil.

So how can you be sure that you are getting a better fish oil product. Take your fish oil and put it in the freezer. If it freezes, it is more likely to be a lower grade of fish oil. This happens because it is rich in saturated fats that can only be removed by the same refining process that removes the toxins. Here is another simple taste test. If it is very bland with little taste, it is probably a good material. If it tastes fishy, it is likely the sewer of the sea. The freezing test is a great indicator to see if it is highly purified.
