Can anyone recommend an off-the-shelf brand of fish oil?
Checked out Caring Pharmacy and found these:

Tried putting together a simple comparison chart:

Just looking for the health benefits without breaking the bank.  Open to hearing recommendations of other brands, as long as they're easily available locally.
Thanks!

Hmm, one of my concern when choosing fish oil is
the form of the fish oil (TG or EE).

EE form fish oil are done with some chemical process to increase the concentration of the Omega-3
However EE generally offer less efficient metabolism and less efficient absorption
compared to the original TG form of fish oil.

Those fish oil with high concentration (i.e. higher than those found naturally in fish) might be in EE form,
and expensive.
And usually only require to take once daily because of the high concentration, however human's digestive system can't really absorb things 100% at one time right?
Hence, why spend more money and get less health benefit?

You can do a quick search on Google something like "fish oil TG vs. EE".
And I found this

While for price issue, it could depend on the ingredient (eg. sardine is cheaper than salmon), how much processing was done during manufacture (generally higher cost if more operation was done), and marketing strategy (branding etc.) and other cost (eg. transportation etc.). Can't really determine whether it's good or not simply based on the price.

I'm using the fish oil supplement from a direct sales company, which is in natural TG form, and in reasonable price.
not going to tell you here, in case you might think I'm try to promote and sell you thing. Only if you really want to know then PM me.
