http://en.isodisnatura.com They have three products. 60% concentrate, 85% concentrate and 90% concentrate with varying EPA/DHA ratios... At quick glance, seems like a pretty good website with some good info..... Just thought I'd share it. Pat

There is a couple of those in Europe. Another is Omacor. In the US you need a prescription for it: http://www.fda.gov/cder/consumerinf...Omacor.htm

Hi Scott, Would it be better to say they CLAIM this concentration ? I don't recall seeing them meeting IFOS standard. Is there any scientific evidence of any advantage to such a product ?

However, I don't see an advantage to taking an 84% ethyl ester available by prescription only vs. an IFOS product. I can only imagine what you're going to have to pay for it...

Thanks Gent-- I was having difficulty finding that info.
