Fish Oil – Is Yours Safe?
- by Nikki
Lawsuit claims PCB’s found in 10 fish oil supplements. Some of the companies that failed the PCB test were Twinlab, Now, Solgar, Pharmavite, and GNC. Just any retail store fish oil may not be the best choice.

Look for the following when buying a fish oil to give you the results you are looking for, without the health risk:
-Uses the preferred smaller fish with shorter life spans, such as anchovies and sardines that accumulate less toxins.
-Tests for PCBs down to parts-per-trillion levels and unconditionally guarantees their purity.
-Exceptional manufacturing and purification technology, exceeding the highest quality standards—including the rigorous standards of the International Pharmacopoeia.
-Exceeds the quality criteria for the Council for Responsible Nutrition’s Omega-3 Monograph – the industry’s current voluntary standard for purity.
-Preferred in-house and third-party independent testing of raw materials to protect from heavy metals and other harmful contaminants; testing of EPA/DHA content of final product; testing for yeasts, molds, and harmful bacteria; testing for disintegration time and shelf stability.

From what I see, your health is worth a high quality fish oil capsule.
