Update: The bottle doesn't say. Here's what it reads..
"From Norway: The finest fish oil from deep, cold ocean-water fish."
That could be shark for all we know. I guess we could research what fish are in Norway's waters.

It usually says on the bottle under ingredients. I'm kind of wondering if there is a difference in the type of fish that gives such great results. I love Salmon and hear great things about the benefits of eating salmon. So I look for fish oil with salmon. Some fish are just higher in nutrients than others. Sorry I don't mean to grill you. mmm guess what I'll be having for dinner. Grilled salmon!
Carlson's - The very finest fish oils has anchovies and sardies (i.e. small fish) the rationale behind this is that because they are small fish they are lower down in the food chain and therefore less likely to accumulate heavy metals i.e. Mercury found in larger fish (hence why I alternate this one with the cod liver oil which can have this problem).
The Cod liver oil IMHO is prob one of the best sources of fish oil (although has lesser values of EPA/ DHA) and is more susceptible to heavy metals. However Look for Arctic, Nordic and Icelandic producers and you should be ok. Cod Liver Oil also has naturally occuring Vits A, D & E and ALA which are not found in other fish oils. This is prob why it kept me sooooooo darn healthy as a child in Africa. I kid you not I never had to go to the doctor. Its only recently that I have been revisiting the wisdom of my Granny and the way she used to look after me.
Medical professionals always agree that this is prob the single most impt supp.

This is the exact video that I saw where I discovered Carlson's products. I have tried fish oil before (Nature Made) and although I got great results from it, I didn't like the fishy burps. I was trying to find a different brand and I'm glad I switched. For some reason this particular brand, doesn't cause it.
. I went out and bought the same kind fish oil today and will document my results as you have done. I'm trying to be full BSL by Dec 31, 2009 and full MBL by May 2010. I think this along with eating healthy, exercise and my high protein diet just may get me there . Wish me luck!
