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.

kongmingAvoid MLM products. You are not getting your money worth. See the reasons below why I said should not choose the MLM fish oil.

You know you are right when your post got reported. (mine post got reported)

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?


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.


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.

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

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.

Just follow your OB-Gyne as not many know that fish oil supplementation is a national plan by some country I can't find the source.
Just make sure that the fish oil doesn't contain mercury, rosemary extract (Carlson is perfectly fine. If you are buying Nordic, avoid the ultimate version, get the prenatal version which will not have rosemary extract)

My opinion? They are worthless. Dosage is too low to do good. For multivitamin, I recommend taking spirulina + chlorella. Why? Both of them are highly dense nutritious food. More nutrient dense than anything. An entire community in Africa at Lake Chad survive on dried spirulina cakes and they are not undernourish like the rest of the Africans.
For CoQ10, one should buy ubiquinone produce by Kaneka

For me and my family,
Multivitamin : Nutrex Hawaian Spirulina + Yaeyama chlorella powder 1tsp each (much more cost economical than tablets)
Fish Oil : Nordic/Carlson
Antioxidant : Healthy Origins Astaxanthin
Parents : Healthy Origins CoQ10 Ubiquinone 100mg (to counter the effects of statins)

If you really want me to recommend multivitamin,
Pure essence master multivitamin 240 tablets
Life extension mix tablets 315 tablets

Of course one does not need to take the full dosage. Hence the above 2 is value for money.

I still stand by Nordic, Carlson and sports research.

Sports research is decent. It's certified by IFOS, in TG form and very high concentration.

You do a test.
1. Clean your hands with soap and water. Take a sewing needle and burn the tip/diabetes needle and poke your finger. Your bleeding should be prolong if you have taken sufficient dosage of fish oil. Of course rancid oil may also cause that.
2. Go do strenuous exercise until you can feel your muscle ache. Load up on fish oil say 15g/day and see if your pain resolve faster.
For me I sprained my ankle once and loaded up on fish oil, turmeric and the pain was gone in 2 days. By 3rd day was almost pain free.
3. Do a fasting lipid test at your BP, Gribbles lab. Your lipid profile should be decent. If not, something is wrong.

The easiest and safest test is lipid profile. In papers yes. But for me the one which really work was one avocado a day. It does wonder to one blood lipid after 3 months (tested personally)

I use to do that when I have access to 5lbs of nutrex spirulina and yaeyama chlorella. Until went out of stock. Now I just use amazing grass super orac instead + lots of fruits and vege like guava, dragon fruit, tomato, carrot.

Any avocado will do. Make sure it's soft to touch but not mushy. You can buy hard one. They can last like 1-2 weeks outside at room temp Once ripen it will become soft. You can try those on shopee (they are indonesians ones) but muuch cheaper than anything you cand find in the supermart except sometimes Giant selling like 1 piece RM1.50-RM1.80. QUality from shopee questionable. Never order before. Alternatively you can buy avocado oil. La Tourangelle Avocado Oil

Fish oil, turmeric. I take sports research turmeric twice daily.

Your choice. I am using Vitacost Synergy ToCoQ10 with BioPerine® & EVNol SupraBio 400 mg - 120 Softgels for my parents.

Avocado have no taste. To being out the taste you need to mix it with food. Once you mixed it with food, it is like mayonnaise.

I buy from iherb. It's cheaper than what shopee sells. Those people just buy from iherb and sell on shopee making a profit.

Nope. I look elsewhere once I see iherb stops selling healthy origin in order to push their own brand California gold nutrition though. Kind of sad. California gold nutrition is kind of subpar Vs healthy origins.

I buy my coq10 from vitacost. At least they are still selling healthy origins brand.

Use bigpay if you ever want to do online shopping. It give you the best rate.

Nowadays I just take vitacost synergy 3000 multivitamin. Look at the ingredients and price!

Around USD14.99 flat rate for up to I think 3lbs. Use bigpay. Don't use bank cards.

Iherb is free shipping but they earned back by inflating the price. You can compare vitacost is cheaper.

I take only 2 biji as I want to save cost. Then again I have lots of fruits and vege in my diet and taking amazing grass super orac as well.

So your choice. To answer your question no. No concentrated version. Btw use bigpay to buy. Don't use normal credit card.

You need right supplements for HDL and LDL. For me the only one which works are one avocado a day. Take for one month. Really change the result. But super expensive. One avocado is around rm3-4biji.

Those uspplemtns are not for HDL and LDL.

Not of anyway with a blood test. But for turmeric you can know. Last time I felt down the stairs and twisted my foot/sprain my ankle, I Brew myself turmeric tea with coconut oil and black pepper 3-4x/day and the pain went off by 3rd day. Was as good as new on 3rd day PM.

Diet is one part. You need exercise. You cannot forgo exercise. Simple stuff like jumping rope, marching in place, butt skips, jumping jack, squads, planks, lifting some weights, brisk walking for 1h follow
by the above for another hour is good enough.

You also need to get rid of high carbs, processed oily food. Eat more raw unprocessed food and complex carbohydrates like sweet potatoes, Chapatti Vs rich/mee/bihun/roti channai,

For weights, I recommend buying water dumbbells/elastic resistance bands and use them to exercise. You don't need weights also can. You can search hybrid calisthenics on YouTube. He shows exercise without equipment other than his pull-up rings.
