It seems that everyone is talking about pharmaceutical grade fish oil these days.
The reason for this is, not all fish oil capsules are created equal.
However, there is really no such thing as “pharmaceutical grade fish oil” on the over-the-counter market. If something was a pharmaceutical it would be sold in a pharmacy. Fish oil is not a medicine so it is not “medicine grade” so to speak.
What people usually mean when they say this term loosely, is that they want pure, concentrated, molecularly distilled fish oil that they know for sure is fresh and of the highest quality.
There is the very best fish oil — and then there are lots of not so great kinds.
The cheap kind of fish oil may come from sharks, sardines, cod and other fish, maybe even swordfish and mackarel that the FDA warns about being high in mercury. It may be processed like a bulk commodity and it may or may not be kept refrigerated.
The best kind of fish oil comes from high quality fish and is processed in a top grade facility, then purified and kept refrigerated.
Low grade fish oils can leave a bad taste in the mouth and cause unpleasant fishy burps and bad breath.
The highest quality fish oil has no bad taste and will not cause burping or bad breath.
Low grade fish oils might contain toxins such as mercury. Purified pharmaceutical grade products do not.
Low grade fish oils may be slightly rancid and oxidized from sitting in non-refrigerated trucks and warehouses.
If you are taking antioxidants you will unhappy to know that cheap, oxidized fish oil may make matters worse. It can add more of the oxidants to your system that you are taking antioxidants to try to get rid of.
Meanwhile, super high grade fish oil is one of nature’s very best antioxidants. It actually crosses the blood brain barrier so it can help prevent the incidence of stroke.
The bottom line is, cheap fish oil can add oxidants to the body, high quality oil can help remove oxidants.
You can see why we say that if you are going to take fish oil we believe you should get the best quality you can find. Take the best quality or don’t take any at all.
