Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil standards are as follows:

• At least 60% of the long-chain fatty acids must consist of EPA and DHA (40:20 TG).
• AA/EPA ratio must be less than .04.
• PCBs per gram of oil should have a much lower level of 45 ppb.

• Check that your bottle of pharmaceutical grade fish oil has a Lot Number that has been posted on an official IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards) consumer report site such as IFOS.

• Check to ensure that you are buying a TG (natural) PGFO and not an EE (synthetic) PGFO.

• Check the ingredient label to ensure that the pharmaceutical grade fish oil has a 60% Omega-3 concentration and complies with the CRN and WHO standards.

• Ask your supplier for a Certificate of Analysis and look for its 5 star rating to confirm that the pharmaceutical grade fish oil has exceeded these international standards.

Recent published studies and media releases have demonstrated high levels of contamination in fish and related seafood products. Some scientists are concerned that this may cause a deficiency in Omega-3 consumption in the population. AMB Well Omega-3 PGFO will provide you and your family with a highly concentrated contaminant-free source of Omega-3 essential fatty acids.

The best diet is one that is rich in fish, preferably small in size, at the bottom of the food chain.  This will help prevent contamination from mercury, PCB's and other toxins in medium to large fish.

The minimum daily requirement of Omega-3s as recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations ("FAO") is 1.5% of daily caloric needs.  For example, if you consume 1,800 kcal per day of food, you should ingest at least 3 grams of Omega-3s.  This amount is hard to reach because foods rich in these fats are not very attractive, and not everyone wants or can eat fish every day.  If you cannot reach the recommended daily amount of Omega-3s from food, it then becomes crucial to choose an Omega-3 supplement.

In order to assess the positive impact that AMB Well Omega-3 PGFO is having on your health, get tested with the Omega-3 Fatty Acid Profile Test.  The Omega-3 Fatty Acid Profile Test is a measurement of the summed levels of the Omega-3 fatty acids in a sample of blood.  One can also determine his or her AA/EPA ratio by having the Omega-3 Fatty Acid Profile test performed.
