Then, sorry, you won't be able to sell to the more health-concious crowd, especially in this section of the forum.

One of the key worry is rancidity, measured through peroxide value / TOTOX.

If you don't have this number, I suggest you don't even consume even if given free.

Couldn't agreed more. Certificate of analysis of a 3rd party labs/ IFOS is a must when it comes to Fish Oil

Yep, or CRN/GOED, equally adequate.

Actually most people just buy any cheap fish oil. Most Malaysian public do not know about IFOS/CRN/GOED

Well, probably in the larger scale of things it's better than having none at all. biggrin.gif

if thats the case, can i consume 2 capsules per serving ?

that would literally double up the dosage as required.

You can.

But calculate your cost in terms of RM per gram of actual Omega 3 oil (DHA & EPA).

And as Ramjade mentioned, is the company willing to provide a CoA. Willingness itself is often a big indicator.

That's why I only buy from Nordic's and Carlson. The only 2 company who give their CoA upon request. Was tempted to buy NOW but they refuse to give me any CoA.

You could have a look at Nutrigold's.

Should be even more value for money.

Just too bad Iherb (favoured due to cheap shipping) doesn't carry them.

I wouldn't lose too much sleep about the debate on EE vs TG. In the larger context of things just start consuming them.

Dietary Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Modulate Resistance to
Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Guinea Pigs.


" Evidence in support of this hypothesis comes from epidemiological studies
of Greenlanders and Alaskan Eskimos, who despite consuming diets rich in
fish oil (FO) containing (n-3) fatty acids, exhibit an unusually low incidence of
cardiovascular and other inflammatory diseases but an unusually high frequency
of TB infection
. ''

'' evidence consistent with these epidemiological observations is provided
by experimental data from (n-3) PUFA-fed guinea pigs infected via the i.m. route
with virulent M. tuberculosis. Pronounced progression of disease and higher
bacterial counts in the spleen were observed in (n-3) PUFA-fed guinea pigs
compared with guinea pigs consuming diets enriched in SFA or (n-6) PUFA.

Increased susceptibility to other intracellular pathogens, including Listeria and
Salmonella, in (n-3) PUFA-fed animals has also been reported. "

Transgenic mice enriched in omega-3 fatty acids are more susceptible
to pulmonary tuberculosis: impaired resistance to tuberculosis in fat-1 mice.

Personally, the key reason for my consumption of n-3, is to attempt to balance out the extremely high ratio of n-6:n-3 in my existing diet.

I still find my n-6 to be higher, but at least the ratio has been brought down significantly.

So cod liver oil is better than fish oil? hmm.gif I know is good but I do not know which is better

I've considered it years ago. Forgot why I ditched the idea.

Probably due to the lack of availability of CoA, and the high levels of Vit. A.

Will look into it again and refresh my memory.
