Formerly Norwegian Fish Oil Spectrum Fish Oil contains the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. EPA supports heart health, reduces inflammation and improves cellular integrity, while DHA supports memory and nervous system functioning.* Our Fish Oil comes from non-threatened species of wild-caught, small, plankton-feeding fish (anchovies, mackerel and sardines) that are low on the food chain. Harvesting these types of fish also ensures that our oil tests below acceptable limits of harmful contaminants set by the Council for Responsible Nutrition and other advisory agencies. Spectrum uses only the purest fish oil with a naturally occurring ratio of 18:12 EPA to DHA. Convenient 1000 mg softgels. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, cure or prevent disease. Ingredients Anchovies, mackerel, sardines, non-genetically engineered natural Vitamin E (to preserve freshness), softgel (gelatin, water, glycerine)

May say Fish Oil, but what is it?Jan 25, 2012
By L. Adams This Spectrum brand says 1000 mg of fish oil, but does not say what the EPA and DHA contents are. Those chemicals are the essence of what's called fish oil. Without those numbers in milligrams you don't know what 'oil' is in this stuff. Omega-3 is mainly taken to reduce Triglycerides, 'if' it has the right ingredients.
My lipid specialist doctor's recommended dose of Omega-3 is 3000 mg per day to reduce Triglycerides. The dose is calculated by totaling EPA and DHA and dividing that into 3000. For LOVAZA pharmacy grade that's 3000mg / (465 EPA + 375 DHA) = 840 mg, or 4 capsules per day. LOVAZA cost me $125.10 for 90 capsules, or $5.60 per day at 4 capsules per day. That's expensive. I have been looking for an over-counter replacement, but not this stuff. The cost is less than LOVAZA, BUT how do you know the product is safe (no contaminates or mercury) and the EPA DHA mgs on the bottle is accurate? This ad for Spectrum does not say what they are at all. LOVAZA has been approved by FDA and every lipid doctor I talk to recommends it. They just don't trust over-counter supplements, especially ones that are vague about the actual contents.
