Best Brand of Omega 3 Fish Oil Supplement?

[macopagirl]

I'm not aware about the brand Renew-Life and Xtend-Life. I think the most popular and preferre are between Maxalife, Nordic Naturals and Puritan. But how true that Maxalife's Omega 3 Fish Oil is the purest in the world? Anyone?..

My acupuncturist recommended Nordic Naturals to me. She's very picky about what supplements she will use.

I use a brand called Carlson's. I love it and take about three gel capsules every night to help with nightly upset stomach/gas (taken along with a heaping amount of water).

Here's a really good article by the Weston A Price Foundation about Cod Liver Oil & Fish Oil, along with brand recommendations: http://www.westonaprice.org/cod-live...ver-oil-basics

Barleans omega swirl. It's fkax seed not fish, and it's strawberry flavored. So good.

I use Wholemega from New Chapter. I also take their Every Woman's One daily, and I must say I rarely ever get sick now. As for the wholemega, it's easy on the stomach, no burps, and I've noticed that my PMS was almost imperceptible this month (I've been doing the wholemega for about 3 weeks). I don't think it's a coincidence.

Udo's Choice is vegetarian, it was recommended to me by my sister the acupuncture doctor, I seem to do well with it when I need that extra anti-inflammatory boost, AND it tastes good. I can put it right on cereals and salads.

Generally though I try to get as much of my nutrition from food as I can. Calcium and magnesium are the main things I sweat out way too much to keep up naturally, so I do supplement those on a maintenance basis. For healthy fats, I have nuts almost every day, I love berries and eat them by the bucket when they're in season, an occasional avocado, plenty of leafy greens.

Also make sure you're not getting too much omega-6 from industrially raised animal products. If you do eat terrestrial animal products (I do), limit yourself to pasture finished meat, dairy and eggs. Often an imbalance in nutrients creates an artificial deficiency, and what you need isn't more of one thing, it's less of another. (Yeah it's expensive. Meat should be a treat, not a staple. And you might think about *why* industrially raised meats are so cheap, and that's as big a disincentive as anyone needs. )

I take Country Life Omega 3 Mood-- supposedly with this one you get the benefits of the Omega 3s, and a natural anti-depressant. I don't know if it actually works, but I don't burp fish oil. I get it from Amazon.com
