Thank you

You will want to go for high DHA. I wouldn't touch blackmore. Why?

Furthermore fish oil sold in malaysia are most likely in ethyl ester (EE) form (cheaper to produce with lower absorption). Also, how do we know that their claim that their fish oil is free from pollutants is true and freshf? Unless they can produce a certificate of analysis (have to email the company) or tested by IFOS, then it's ok.
For me,when I buy fish oil I look at 2 things
a) must be in triglyceride form (as how it occur in nature - more stable and better absorption)
b) must pass IFOS test.

A rancid + contaminated fish oil do more harm to the body than good.

For me, personally, I only buy Carlson and Nordic Naturals.

Selection of a production at times becomes subjective since not all the required information is not available...anyways
you could checkout Pristin, if it meets your objective.

Alright tell me is Nutrilite certified by IFOS? Second tell me are they ethyl ester or triglyceride? Third, tell me, how mg of EPA and DHA are there in one capsule? Fourth tell me what's the price you are selling?

QUOTE
One softgel provides 300 mg of omega-3 essential fatty acids (180 mg of EPA, 120 mg of DHA), plus vitamin E (30 IU of d-alpha Tocopherol).

A pathetic amount. Even Pristin/Carlson Elite Gems/Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega have more omega 3 per capsule than that. One will have to take 2-3 softgels/day just to match the omega3 content of Pristin/Nordic/Carlson.

QUOTE
RM144/bottle for 120 softgels

Better options exist when one factored in the price/softgel.

Is worth my money if I want to support MLM/direct sales. The thing with MLM/direct sales is one is paying too much to the seller. Min profit by MLM/direct sales company = 200% profit.

Is it really true?
Fish oil in my thought is for kids.
Like what the experts said, still not confirm?

No not really. But fish oil for adults will show effects usually >2g for those with pain, high triglyceride. (Based on reviews from amazon) However eating too much fish will accumulate mercury

I take fish oil on a daily basis for years.
I've switch to wild salmon fish oil for quite sometime now.
Just wondering why do you only take Carlson and Nordic Natural.
Any specific reasons that attracts you?
Judging by your post on fish oil,you're quite knowledgable.
I would change to Carlson or Nordic if they're good.
Thanks for sharing

One I only take fish oil which are certified by IFOS. Manufacturer can said they are the freshess, no contamination, blah blah. But do they have proof to prove their claim? A fish oil manufacture which cannot produce a certificate of analysis (email them for it) should start ringing some alarm bells as they have something to hide. IFOS is 3rd party.
Second, IFOS certified both ethyl ester and triglyceride fiah oil. I only take triglycerides fish oil as they are much more stable (won't go rancid so fast), better absorbed and exist in nature as triglycerides. Ethyl ester fish oil are cheaper to produce but more prone to oxidation (bad thing) and is less absorbed by the body.
Third, their DHA-EPA contents are pretty high when you compared to fish oil sold in malaysia pharmacies. (you need lesser softgels to meet the min amount per day)
In the US, Nordic is like the gold standard for fish oil. If you money is not an issue to you, take Nordic. If you are on budget, take Carlson.

Hope this answer your questions.
