fish oil supplements come with serious chemical contamination

[terraj]

I take around 4 grams of fish oils a day, many on here take more. I have often wondered about the toxic risks, but figured it would have been covered. Supplements are so fvcking unregulated it is not funny!

I find it a bit disturbing that this has gone under the radar for so long.....I find it even more disturbing that the fish oil that I use is on the dirty list...MOFO!

Wow thank you for bringing that to my attention. At least 3 people in my immediate family supplement fish oil too. I've always taken it and never once heard of this crap in my life.

Is there anymore, more accurate info then a news write up on this topic? Did you just find this today or do you know anything else about it? Thanks!

Just found it today Bo, looks like it only came out a day or two ago.

Someone is suing the makers of these sups, so I would say changes are coming.

I can see a big outcry coming from the consumers....you know...the one who take for improving their health. lol

Thankyou.

Interesting.

There is a non profit out there that checks and double checks the fish oil of many major brands, If google it you can find it. Also many of the better brands use small fish and distill the oil at a molecular level to get the crap out, So don't get the cheap stuff from the drug store and you should be fine

I did have Now brand...which was one of the worse ones according to FishOilSafety.com.

I use the NOW brand, but not the salmon oil. Says molecularly distilled right on it. I wonder if I should switch it up.
