> I just found out that Omacor has a mystery ingredient other than omega 3 fatty acids. Its action is to "inhibit certain liver enzymes." Omega 3's don't do that, and I don't want my liver enzymes "inhibited," so I stopped taking it. I should have figured that a pharmaceutical company wouldn't concentrate something natural without throwing something funny in...
By law, all ingredients have to be listed for any substance that's ingested, at least in the US. So whatever this mystery ingredient is, if the product is sold in the US, it has to be identified somewhere on the container. If you haven't bought the product but just seen marketing for it, the company has to provide the names of all ingredients on request.
