Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil

To produce pharmaceutical grade fish oil, advanced chemical engineering is used to remove most of the saturated fat by fractional distillation and removal of harmful chemicals like PCBs. With such innovations, new type of fish oil with higher amount of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids was created, free from unwanted by-products like mercury and chemical contaminants or harmful fatty acids.

Fish oil concentrates undergo various processes to ensure that fatty acids are maximized. A regular fish oil normally contains about 30% of omega-3, of which 18% EPA and 12% DHA. For a high-concentrated fish oil, its omega-3 content ranges from 30% to as high as 95%.

The benefits of fish oil is numerous. To reap its full benefit, the best type of fish oil is fish oil concentrate, due to its higher content of EPA and DHA, it is usually used for therapeutic purposes. It may be difficult to take in the required amount of omega-3 fatty acids from fish source alone daily. Hence fish oil concentrate is a good source of supplement when higher doses of EPA and DHA is required.

Omega-3 fish oil concentrates will cost more due to the technology and processes used in order to get the oils out of the fish to produce the percentage level of omega 3 present.

Pharmaceutical grade fish oil is on top of the list. Fish oil with a “pharmaceutical grade” indicates an assurance of getting omega 3 fatty acids from a fish of good quality and the product is free from lipid peroxides, heavy metals, environmental contaminants and other harmful compounds.

2.     It must contain minimum of 50% of concentration of omega 3 fatty acids

3.     It has ratio of less than .04 of AA/EPA.

A special note: Although cod liver oil may be the least expensive form of fish oil, but it tends to be even less pure than regular grade fish oil, and it also contains high levels of vitamin A, which can be toxic in high dosages.
