OmegaBrite is manufactured in a nitrogen environment, then flushed with nitrogen to ensure that the Omega 3 oil is potent and to prevent oxidation that occures when Omega-3 oils are exposed to oxygen in the air. OmegaBrite is manufactured at FDA approved pharmaceutical facilities that adhere to Good Manufacturing Processes (GMP)."

EPD-7510 contains the highest ratio of EPA relative to DHA, a 7:1 raatio. No other Omega-3 product from fish oil even approaches this optimum figure, which is preferred by many of the most prominent Omega-3 researchers. Omega-3 from flaxseed oil contains no EPA or DHA and has not been proven in clinical trials."

I will look for it around here-it sounds very smartly manufactured. Quality has been lacking generally in American mfg. for a few years now. The EPA content is similar to the Fish Oil I have. However, you aren't taking a lot of *unneeded* oils. I added up your milligrams up there and it amounts to less than 1G, whereas the stuff I have is 2G with the same EPA content. I would rather take much less Omega-6 with the same amount of Omega-3. Thirty-eight cents/capsule sounds good. I would just be taking one or two a day probably, so that would be OK pricewise.
Love and Luck to you,
Mitch
