Natural Salmon Oil and Fish Oil 1000 are both natural sources of the Omega-3 fatty acids, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) making them suitable for a wide range of conditions including joint inflammation, minor skin conditions, peripheral circulation and arthritic pain.

Recent media attention has focused on certain brands using polysorbate 80, a chemical used to mask the ‘fishy’ after taste or burp that these oils can sometimes produce. Herbs of Gold would like to assure you that both Natural Salmon Oil and Fish Oil 1000 are free from polysorbate 80.

Natural Salmon Oil and Fish Oil 1000 are made using wild fish caught in their natural environment, as opposed to farmed  fish which may have been treated with antibiotics or vaccines. Both Natural Salmon Oil and Fish Oil 1000 are fortified with antioxidant vitamin E to ensure that you get the freshest product possible.

So what’s the difference between Fish Oil 1000 and Natural Salmon Oil?

Salmon oil is naturally a ‘low reflux’ oil, and also contains an additional fatty acid (as essential for health as EPA and DHA) known as Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA). Early research on DPA, has demonstrated a positive effect on cardiovascular health, including blood pressure and cholesterol health as well as blood sugar regulation, circulatory health and natal development.

Both Natural Salmon Oil and Fish Oil 1000 are manufactured in Australia in a Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) licensed facility, where they undergo stringent testing during the manufacturing process. Both oils are tested for the presence of a number of heavy metals including mercury, cadmium, lead and arsenic as well as dioxins and PCB’s. The oils also undergo a process known as molecular distillation, which removes man made pollutants and volatile odour compounds. Suffice to say, neither Natural Salmon Oil nor Fish Oil 1000 has ever tested outside the limits set out by the TGA for any pollutants or heavy metals, therefore providing a safe supplement for all.
