Is the product RxOmega by Natural Factors considered as a good supplement?

[quote:f6a4578367="rhlll"]Is the product RxOmega by Natural Factors considered as a good supplement?[/quote:f6a4578367] Some would say nearly as good, Others are definately against it. One strong vocal against it is, however, promoting her own product. There is a TOPIC on PGFO and NATURAL FACTORS. It might be best to read through the (3 pages of) discussion(s) and make up your own mind. FORUM Category: HEALTH TOPIC: Confirmation that Natural Factors RXOmega is PGFO

The only fish oil that Zone Labs "approves" is OmegaRx fish oil. Any other oils, we highly recommend you do all necesarry research in terms of contaminants and total EPA/DHA. Thanks

Thank you for the support. I know that the one that is approaved for The Zone is OmegaRx, however it is not available in Canada. It would cost me an incredible amount of money anyway to order it via proxy. The problem is that,... when I look over the web site and find datas for different brands,... They look all right. I am particularly scared of toxines and heavy metal like mercury and lead. I got many health problems (I even had a kidney translpant,... and a cancer when I had 9), and I don't want to take the risk to use a product that can contaminate me. I find it comfusing to go all over the Forums by myself, even if I have a basic scientific background, and wide experience of lab and blood analysis. There are people making annoncements of their own products, comparing a single trial test to 5 of Sears Lab tests. I know that everybody is basicly responsible for their own choice,... however I want to do the best for by health. I have checked at www.ifosprogram.com for the analysis, and at the first view CLearwater and Sears Lab have a similar score when Mighty Bite failed on one aspect. I have contacted sears lab in the past, and I have been told that the product woul be available in Canada in the future,... when is this project due? I would like to know (an honest and professional answer please), if Clearwater is a good alternative to Sears Lab,... or else if it could be possible to order from Sears Lab in bulk Sincerely yours

tough call due to commercial interests. there's been a lot of discussion on forums about this matter. I'm not a professional, but you seem to have researched your subject well. -C.

Hi RHill, [quote:2ee9704d6c] There are people making annoncements of their own products, comparing a single trial test to 5 of Sears Lab tests. Sincerely yours[/quote:2ee9704d6c] The concept of batch testing is very important. The test results for the batch you are consuming is all that affects YOUR health. Certainly past tests demonstrate consistent good performance. But the current test is really the only one that matters to YOU. I notice the second batch for Clearwater also tested just as good, so you can be assured of a high quality product from them White Light

hi--i have been looking for canada source pgfo also. have checked out clearwater on the net and it looks to be a good product but only available on the net--also found [b:c61879c1a7]molecularly distilled fish oil by 'nordic naturals'[/b:c61879c1a7]--they also make a product for children ages 2 and up called 'dha juniour' will send more info when i get a chance (am in the midst of a move to ottawa) by the way [b:c61879c1a7]this fish oil was found at an ottawa pharmacy[/b:c61879c1a7] which does mainstream prescriptions but also is very invlolved with alternative solutions--called [b:c61879c1a7]'Nutrichem'[/b:c61879c1a7] they are on Richmond Road in Ottawa (and also have an internet site).p

The standard appears to exceed normals[/quote:7158ceed23] This product is certainly free of toxins and can be safely used. It does however only contain 300 mgs Omega 3 per 1000mg Fish Oil so you will be consumeing a lot of saturated fat. The A M B Well product tested above it contains 600mg Omega 3 for every 1000mg FO Thats right, twice as much !! So the ehn product would not represent value even at 1/2 the price White Light

Yes, for a 30% concentrate to be equated to a .04 ppm of 60%, the score would need to come in at .02. But unacheivable? Ascentas latest batch hit .023. Though a number of ZoneLabs and SYW came well under .046 (.023*2).

So don't hold your breath about when it would be available. (The government takes their nonsense seriously!) Not until one or the other changes.

We had anticipated the sale of our fish oil to Canada some time ago. However we are not sure when it will be available. Sorry for any incoveniences. Staff

[quote:836f91d10a="White Light"]Hi Arisen, It is about the same price but DOUBLE the strength. And it is legal in ALL countries including Canada. and USA White Light [/quote:836f91d10a] Thanks, I didn't know about this one. The only thing is that I can get the one I mentioned at my local store at a discount and save on shipping too. :wink: Good find tho.

I just joined this forum and would like to buy some fish oil in Canada. It's odd because the "see yourself well" fish oil is sold for more expensive on Anne-Marie's website (42.95 CA) then the same "see youself well" fish oil from midwest. (21.75 USD) I've looked at all the website's posted and I'm still not sure where to buy my fish oil from. Any suggestions??? Thanks :lol:

Being a Canadian company I guess you can maybe ask your store to order it for you. I find it very convenient, and excellent value for money.

Hi Arisen. The product you are using is 30% good heart healthy fat Any idea what the other 70% is ?
