Dr. Mercola Wild Caught Alaskan Salmon Oil

Dr. Mercola made their Virgin Salmon Oil even better… Using the same high-quality oil from wild caught Alaskan salmon, five factors make Wild Caught Alaskan Salmon Oil one of the finest oils you could ever find:

• MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) Certification to help prevent overfishing and to allow fish populations and ecosystems to remain healthy and productive for the future. All oil can be traced back to a certified sustainable source.
• Minimally processed oil – fresh, not frozen and not farmed salmon is heated to extract the oil and then the oil is separated and refrigerated. No chemical processing, no solvents, no molecular distillation needed. Just pure oil directly extracted from salmon.
• Is tested through independent testing by random sampling to verify contents and to test for heavy metals, dioxins, and PCBs. Many fish oils can contain hazardous levels of these contaminants, or are heavily processed to remove them.
• What’s on the label is in the bottle – Many salmon oil manufacturers are not revising their labels to accurately reflect changing levels of EPA and DHA, and may not be disclosing the fact that they are adding other fish oils to inflate levels of omega-3s.
• Packed in leak- and oxygen-proof Licaps hard capsules for freshness. Other salmon and fish oils are packed in soft gels that contain plasticizers to make them soft and pliable. Oxygen can enter and cause oxidation and rancidity, and allow odors to escape.
