Is It Enough to Buy Omega 3 Pills at the Supermarket?

It seems easy to maintain health and prevent many diseases by just supplementing daily with a capsule or more of cheap Omega-3s purchased at a supermarket.

Buyer Beware: 90% of products sold by supermarkets, herbalists, pharmacies and online stores are at the least ineffective, if not harmful to one's health!

For example: A highly publicized brand sold in pharmacies has 17 grams of Omega-3 (also referred to as EPA and DHA) per 100 grams of product... in short, only 17%!

In another brand sold at the supermarket, there is only 12%...

This means that to receive the minimum recommended amount of Omega-3s (an average of 3 grams daily), one would have to supplement with at least 27 capsules!

I then tried checking the 2 brands on their respective websites to find an independent Certificate of Analysis to find out what was in the remaining 90% of the capsule, and especially to understand the quality of the fish oil used. There was no certificate anywhere!
 

How To Choose A Quality Supplement:

Fortunately, there are high quality fish oil supplements that contain a high percentage of Omega-3s (minimum of 60%) and are tested by an independent institution recognized by the world’s leading manufacturers of Omega-3. This institute is called the International Fish Oil Standards ("IFOS") based at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada.
On its website under Consumer Reports you can find the updated list of companies that receive 5 stars for their fish oil product as well as their product analysis.

A high quality fish oil with a minimum of 60% Omega-3s is virtually 100% pure. In fact, it takes 100 gallons of health grade fish oil to make 1 gallon of pure oil. This type of pure fish oil is commonly referred to as Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil ("PGFO") which is an anecdotal term and not a medical or scientific term. Harmful substances such as PCBs or DDTs are reduced to very low levels by using an advanced molecular distillation. The superior distillation process also excludes the possibility of suffering a gastrointestinal upset which is often associated with lower quality fish oils containing contaminants and saturated fat.

Buyer Beware : A less purified fish oil causes an accumulation of toxic impurities that have been proven to damage the hormonal system, causing annoying intestinal disorders such as gas formation, abdominal pain and diarrhea and, in some cases, even cancer!

	PURITY If the fish oil has not been subjected to a multiple molecular distillation process, there is a high probability of the presence of PCBs, mercury, dioxins, furans and heavy metals. Only a pure fish oil can be taken for long periods of time and at high dosages.
	CONCENTRATION At least 60% of the fish oil should consist of Omega-3 fatty acids containing a ratio of 40:20 EPA/DHA or a minimum of 400 mg. EPA and 200 mg. DHA, with a low percentage of saturated fatty acids  to be digested QUICKLY. In the economic supplements the concentration is between 15% and 30% and contains a high percentage of saturated fatty acids. Remember that it takes 100 gallons of health grade fish oil to make 1 gallon of PGFO. The oil should be in the form of natural triglyceride ("TG")  to ensure bioavailability up to 250% higher than the synthetic form of ethyl ester ("EE") that is common in other concentrated Omega-3 products.
	QUALITY CERTIFIED Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil ("PGFO") must be certified by an independent institution using the most stringent parameters in the world like International Fish Oil Standards ("IFOS") based at the University of Guelph in Ontario Canada. The Certificate of Analysis should have the highest rating of 5 stars which confirms the exceptional quality. These parameters set by IFOS are hundreds and even thousands of times below the limits allowed by law in the United States. Only the best brands of fish oil in the world have a 5-star IFOS certification.

Your Best Buy for
Pharmaceutical Grade Omega-3 Fish Oil in Capsules and Liquid
is A-M B-Well™ Omega-3 PGFO.

Out of the companies that sell Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil certified by the IFOS the best buy is Omega-3 PGFO from A-M B-Well Inc.! 

Why?........
 

	Our prices are discounted up to 40% compared to its competitors. This is because it is cheaper to buy by the case (12 bottles) rather than 1 bottle and the wise customer is buying directly from  A-M B-Well Inc. without any additional costs to increase the price as a result of dealing with intermediates or the "middle man".
	We produce the purest form of fish oils. Its traceability amounts of PCBs (toxic pollutants like dioxins) are significantly lower than its competitors, and thousands of times lower than the parameters established by the World Health Organization ("WHO"). Even with such harmless and very small amounts, the presence of PCBs in an Omega-3 supplement can help one to understand the purity of raw materials (fish caught in low polluted oceans) and the quality of the production process of refining. A-M B-Well Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil is sourced from anchovies, sardines and mackerel caught off the coast of Peru in the clean Pacific Ocean.
	All batches of A-M B-Well™Omega-3 PGFO are certified by the IFOS, so the consumer can feel secure that he or she is purchasing the purest fresh fish oil that will not endanger his or her health.
	A-M B-Well™ Omega-3 PGFO is produced in the form of natural triglyceride (40:20TG) to ensure bioavailability up to 250% higher than the form of ethyl ester in (40:20EE) products.  In short, you take less capsules to achieve the same results. The TG form of PGFO which is sold by A-M B-Well Inc. achieves the same great benefits but with smaller quantities of a natural form versus the synthetic EE form.  In other words, 3 capsules of a 40:20TG PGFO achieve  the SAME results as 4 capsules of a 40:20EE PGFO! Thus, one is also getting more "Bang for their Buck", not to mention a superior product that costs more money to manufacture than the 40:20EE PGFO. See here for bibliography

A-M B-Well Inc Guarantee

I am proud to say that all of the batches produced by A-M B-Well Inc. since 2005 scored the highest rating of 5 stars by International Fish Oil Standards, under the classification of "Outstanding Product".

Further, A-M B-Well™ Omega-3 PGFO in capsules or liquid form are one of the few products in the world to have been verified by the Pharmacopoeia of the United States ("USP"), the American public entity that establishes stringent quality standards worldwide.

A-M B-Well™ Omega-3 PGFO capsules have a Natural Product Number "NPN" 80002607 issued by the Natural Health Products Directorate ("NHPD") of Canada. Omega-3 PGFO capsules contain 90-1 gram capsules per bottle.

A-M B-Well™ Omega-3 Liquid Gold has a Natural Product Number "NPN" 80013016 issued by the Natural Health Products Directorate ("NHPD") of Canada. Omega-3 Liquid Gold is available in a 125 ml. bottle / 4 oz bottle. Each 5 ml. / 1 tsp. of Omega-3 Liquid Gold is equivalent to 5 capsules of Omega-3 PGFO capsules so the liquid is very easy to take for customers that require higher dosages of Omega-3.

Both these Natural Product Numbers are verifiable on our website and also on the Natural Health Products Directorate of Canada website.

Cons?  A Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil has a higher cost in comparison to generic supermarket supplements. However, if one decides to supplement with Omega-3 to improve or maintain one's health, it would not make sense to buy a poor product!

Please note that supplementing your diet with Omega-3 PGFO capsules or our new Omega-3 Liquid Gold has a daily cost lower than buying a cup of coffee...

A-M B-Well™ Omega-3 PGFO, it means they are getting real results.  Please read some of the testimonials written by A-M B-Well Inc. customers.
