One of the concerns being communicated to me today is about pollution, and the question is: Doesn't pollution inevitably find it's way into the product?
Not quite.
First of all, by pollution, most people are talking about heavy metals and PCBs.
A triple phase molecular distillation purification process to maximize purity gets rid of virtually any contamination of the above.
Also, the oils in any product should be distilled in a controlled, pristine vacuum environment. This insures contaminant removal above and beyond traditional purification methods.
Your supplement must also surpass all national and international standards for environmental pollutants, including dioxins, PCB's, pesticides and heavy metals, including mercury.
Are contaminents something to be concerned about?
Of course.
In a recent Canadian study which sampled commercial grade fish oil, all the samples analyzed were found to contain detectable residues of both organochlorine pesticides and PCBs.
The key words here are "commercial grade fish oil."
This is the stuff found in supermarkets, drugstores, health food stores, and shopping clubs. It is sold cheaply as a commodity, and can actually be bad for your health, and doesn't benefit anyone.
Pharmaceutical grade fish oil, on the other hand, may:
1. Vascular health improved.
2. Cardiovascular disease risk reduced.
3. Symptoms of rhuematoid arthritis reduced.
4. Thinning of the blood.
Fish oil off the shelf can't compare to that.
So only stick to pharmaceutical grade - that's what I do every day. - 15634
