In reply to Brand of Fish Oil Matter?, posted by doxielover on September 26, 2004, at 23:07:33
> Is one brand of fish oil as good as the next? I've been taking the kind at Wal-Mart, Spring Valley. It's about $6 for 120 enteric coated capsules. Is this as good as the brands that have higher concentrations of EPA/DHA?

I don't want to have fishy burps, and I haven't had them with this brand.Hi, my main concern is the amount of mercury in the fish oils before the EPA/DHA ratio....see if the manufacturer can guarantee them to be mercury free - liver oils seem to have more toxins as the sea pollution goes straight to the liver - the higher up in the food chain a fish is, the more it concentrates toxins. Distilled fish oils seem to be a good bet.
