Is whole ground the same as cold milled? What is the percent of Omega-3 ?

No clue re whole ground / cold milled. U might google it. Pkg says one serving contains 1800 mg of Omega-3. No percentages listed.

Go to the Bob's Red Mill website and search for "organic ground flax seed". Expand the label on the side of the package. It says that flax seed contains approximately 50% Alpha-linolenic acid (Omega-3's). A serving of 2 T contains 2400 mg of Omega-3's. Milled flax seed is flax seed with the husk removed, but the remaining seed is whole. Ground flax seed is the entire flax seed ground to a coarse meal. Meal is coarser than flour. I do not think that flax seed could ever be ground into flour. I think that it would turn into an oily mixture like peanuts ground into peanut butter. If you ever try to make almond meal or almond flour in a food processor and process the almonds too long, you can end up with almond butter. So if you are baking, you probably want flax seed meal. Whole flax seeds are covered with insoluble fiber which protects the soluble fiber inside the seed. Whole flax seeds usually absorb water and act as fiber and pass through the body whole. In the digestive tract, all the nutrients of the flax seed are not absorbed by the body. This insoluble fiber also feeds healthy bacteria in the digestive system. So whole flax seeds are probably not as useful to the body as ground flax seeds. When flax seeds are ground, both insoluble and soluble fiber are available to the body. Soluble fiber slows down digestion and helps to make you feel full.

Yes...BUT... Like all unprocessed oils cold preserves the integrity of the omega 3 content (I keep mine in the freezer for maximum preservation because it stays liquid), however, unlike most perishables it does not need continuous cold to prevent spoiling. This is why it can be shipped in a normal box. As long as it is kept cold most of the time and especially after it is opened it will be fine (same goes for flax oil). If it gets warm after opening it needs to be used up pretty quick or it will start to go bad. I recommend alternating between hemp and flax for maximum omega fatty acid nutrition. Yes...BUT...

Refining has nothing to do with the pressing technique used to extract the oil from the nut. So, a cold pressed oil can then be refined by filtering, etc. If this is unrefined, then the company should state that fact.

The label says "cold pressed to preserve the natural nutritional content" so I believe it is not "refined" in the typical sense. It is a clear oil with a mild nutty taste. I keep it in the refrigerator at all times and it does not thicken. I use it for cooking, salad dressings, etc. Another excellent oil is avocado oil.

The label does not specify. The hexane extraction process is used for making biofuel rather than oil for human consumption. In terms of quality and safety, most opinions are that the forms used in supplements are acceptable. The omega-3 in cold extraction and chemical extraction for human consumption are equal. If you want a algae oil supplement that is cold pressed, specify that when you look for dietary supplements. Amazon sells cold pressed algae oil. Hope this helps.

I think its the same. But 30% concentrate I think means that when they process the fish they have pure fish oil, then when they make the "pill" they add other things to it like the coating. Just an idea I apologize if I have not answered your question.

It is composed of various fats, including large amounts of omega 3 and omega 6. The largest percentage is that of the omega 3 essential fatty acids. This is wild salmon oil.

It says on the label that it's concentrated by molecular distillation (which 2yrs ago everybody was saying was the best!) so there probably are some EEs. The top 2 Google (TM) hits are diametrically opposed on whether it actually matters: http://www.ascentahealth.com/health-science/science-articles/fish-oil-triglycerides-vs-ethyl-esters-as-nature-intended http://www.sciencebasedhealth.com/Fish-Oil-EE-vs-TG-omega-3s-which-is-better-W119.aspx The Ascenta website has a test you can do: you put 20ml of your fish oil in a styrofoam cup. EEs will leak through it in 10min, triglycerides won't. Tempted to do it, because now you've got me curious, but I wonder how many of these capsules I'll have to squeeze open to get 20ml? I picked these because I wanted buckets of DHA for my brain. I'd like to see some quantitative data: for instance, one of these supposedly has 500mg DHA, whereas maybe a triglyceride one only has 80. So if this DHA is only, say, half as bioavailable as the triglyceride, I'm getting 250mg from this one which is STILL better than 80. Also, even the EEs-are-bad articles seem to say it only actively harms people who have certain conditions or are taking certain other meds - though I admit I skimmed, because the whole "last year's Underdog's Super Energy Pill is this year's poison" thing gives me a fatal Out-of-Patience Error.

I don't have Spring Valley bottle now, have Nature Made bottle (on side says "comes from deep ocean waters...not supplied from farm raised") ... also, googled and found Dr. Weil website that says "fish oil is found in the fatty tissues of cold water, oily fish. It is also available in supplement form for those who eat little or no fish". sounds cold water to me from the "deep ocean waters" reference first.

It is 100% pure cold-pressed Black Cumin Seed Oil. I says nothing about solvents

Grass fed/organic = No, cold micro-filtered process = Yes. What is extremely disappointing about this product is that the cows are treated with growth hormones, so this is not rBGH free.

I went to Nature Made and I construed that they sold off ALL of the flaxseed oil inventory, as none appear on that site. Moreover, the site page has a duration of mere minute(s), another worry-some factor. Last, the label would identify the strength off the Omega3 content (Alpha L., Linoleic Acid and Oleic Acid) . Anyway, Puritan Pride's figures are best: 500, 110 and 110mgs, respectively. Pricing is best, too. Shop you must. Amazon is best for that. Rosie-39@ live.com

Hi, I'm sorry I just saw this...I would say "no" as I have found a lot of "spreads" and "butters" are mostly oil and this stuff is the full coconut; pulp, cold processed so that you get flavorful fiber with it...HOWEVER...I have just found Artisana Oganics , Raw Coconut Butter, Whole Coconut Purée that is the same full pulp& oil content as this product. So I scout for whole, organic, cold processed. Am using it to enrich my coconut kifer

I looked for you and unfortunately I couldn't locate those levels, but did find proteins = 27%, fat = 14%, fiber = 6.2% & moisture = 8%. I hope that helps in some way.

Doesn't say. On the bottle, there is a chart titled Guaranteed Analysis. It says crude fat - 99% (min.), moisture - 1% (max.), DHA -5% (min.), EPA - 5% (min). Has note that the EPA and DHA are not recognized as an essential nutrient by the AAFCO Dog Nutrient Profile.
