I am interested to get a fish oil supplement. Originally I want to buy Carlson's based on the good reviews, but unfortunately it do not even available in Malaysia. So those who have take fish oil, what's your brand? I have a look at Blackmore, Seven Seas and Abbott, all EPA/DHA is too low. (Carlsons contains 800mg EPA/600mg DHA per 5ml)

QUOTE(jchong @ Nov 26 2008, 10:08 PM) Yes, Carlson's is another premium brand. They get their fish oil from Norway. Actually, their EPA/DHA content is around 35% from the numbers you gave - 1400mg/4000mg (note 5ml is about 4000mg). Most fish oil sold in Malaysia is around 30% EPA/DHA. I do bring in fish oil in my bulk (click my signature for the link) that has 52.5% EPA/DHA. But these are in softgel form. Anyway, if you do want Carlson's I can bring it in also. PM me if interested. But Carlson's isn't cheap. BTW, for myself I use the Jarrow softgels. My kids take the Carlson's in oil form (because they can't swallow the softgels yet). I actually did saw your thread when I search the forum but I prefer to buy in local pharmacies (Watsons, etc)

QUOTE(jchong @ Nov 27 2008, 08:25 PM) No problems. I'm just offering an alternative in case you can't find what you want locally. Btw do you find any brand which close to Carlson's in term of PHA/DHA locally?

QUOTE(jchong @ Nov 28 2008, 10:13 PM) Say, apart from fish oil anybody heard about krill oil? Is it any better than fish oil? Anyway, I don't think it is available in Malaysia and most probably more expensive than fish oil?
