Wild Alaskan Fish Oil
While USP-verified for purity and extremely affordable, the concentration of active EPA/DHA is very low (approx. 24% of the total oil), requiring multiple large softgels to reach therapeutic doses. It utilizes a natural triglyceride form via cold-pressing, but the high amount of 'filler fats' and lack of batch-specific TOTOX transparency are significant compromises compared to gold-standard oils.
