SALMON OIL – I've done the work for you!
I had previously been duped into paying twice as much for a phony product which had "100% Wild Alaskan Fish Oil" on the label - only to learn it was old pollack fish. Yes, it did come from wild fish in Alaska yet not a drop of salmon oil? What?! I realized I'd fallen for the slick ad's, careful wording & high reviews - which were gleaned by free bottles of product. Fool me once... I searched high & low for a reputable company and found this brand: SUNDOWN is a highly recognized and long established company in the supplement and health industry. The label says"Wild Alaskan SALMON oil". That is the keyword you're looking for: SALMON. If it doesn't specify Salmon, you will likely be buying a low-cost older whitefish (pollack) which contains high amounts of mercury due to it's age at the time of catch. Other companies use anchovies or mackerel - also high in mercury. Unfortunately most fish do contain some mercury - Sundown tests and removes it and other toxins from its product. I've been taking this for several years and have been very happy with it. Really helps with joint inflammation. My only wish is that the capsules were smaller but that is the nature of the beast - fish oil capsules are large! However it's easy to swallow - I take a gulp of water, hold in my mouth then take the capsule. No issues. Very happy and will continue with this brand
