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.

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

if you want oil; consume coconut oil

get fish oil by eating fish, its readily available & better in absorption

Do you know how much fish you gotta eat to get the recommended daily dose of fish oil?
fish oil in capsules are so much easily available and the absorption is far more better cos by eating fish your body has to digest it first.Depending on how well is your digestive system otherwise your body will not absorb it to it's fullest

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.

Can you share what you read?  I'm interested.  Coz when I was pregnant, my OB-Gyne prescribed fish oil in my last 2 weeks of pregnancy.

hi,just a word of caution.
I belived you should take the advise of your OB.
You can read about it,no harm in that but let your personal OB have the last word.
The reason being is that they are the specialist and there is no harm taking the fish oil,whether or not they are benificial.
Congrates on your new born.

the recent reserch shows that fish oil has no benefits

I think you should quote which research and who is doing it so that we can check by ourself to see how credible they are.
By just saying that "recent research shows that fish oil has no benefits" might confused the layman and worst still they would be turn away from taking fish oil when they could actually benefit from it.
