Is this product made from farm raised fish. If so does it make a difference? Thanks.

It only says, "contains sardines, anchovies, and mackerel"...so from the bottle, I cannot tell if the fish is farm raised or not. I would guess whichever is cheaper to use in manufacturing. There is no 800 # on the bottle either. I won't be finishing my bottle, I couldn't put up with the fish burps.

According to the label and literature when I last checked a few months ago, this oil comes from cold water ocean fish, not farmed......This is a reputable brand as well....and the price is reasonable.....drink it down with some warm water is one good way............

I don't know if the product is derived out of GMO's. Most plant / animal sources are these days,

The bottle does NOT show it is organic...although the bottle says "made with 'Barlean's Fresh Catch Pharmeceutical Grade fish oil'..." Also, there is a 'purity guarantee' which states: "Third party laboratory tested to ensure the elimination of harmful environmental contaminants." Don't know how much that helps you, but NOT/NOT organic according to the Pina Colada version I purchased.

I use this food for salt water fish so I think it would be better to check with a pet store. Sorry.

Well, certainly not fish. It smells pretty rough until you blend it in to what ever you are cooking. I use it in sauces, soups and marinades. The fish sauce has no independent taste...it deepens the flavor of the other ingredients and enhances the overall flavor. It is a great Umami product. Try it and you won't be sorry.

No, I have had mine a long time and no scent change. It definitely did not smell like fish at all. It was almost scentless. I believe you received a bad batch and I would open a immediate resolution request and be very adamant. This is such a great product-well worth it and I love it. Great company too. I am sorry you re having problems. Good Luck.

There's a picture of a fish on the bottle, but it appears to be indicating that it has as much vitamin D as 3oz of salmon, rather than actually containing fish. However it is not vegan, as it has gelatin.

Fish oil sourced from Peru; cold water fish. Unfortunately that is on the box. Hope it helped.

Not that I am aware of. It's 100% natural made from seaweed. You can take a look at the manufacture's website here http://www.plaqueoff.com/for-animals/product/.

The bottle does not specify fish or chicken? It states the type 1 and 3 is a derived from pharmaceutical food grade bovine collagen. My wife swears by this stuff and has used it for a number of years. I could see the difference in her complexion with a week of use. I hope this helps?

What you likely have there is a synthetic form of astaxanthin which is made from petrochemicals and commonly given to farm-raised fish. Wild salmon eat natural astaxanthin, but farm-raised salmon are fed the synthetic astaxanthin to turn their flesh red-orange so that they will look like salmon caught in the wild. This is why many people refuse to eat farm-raised salmon, but will only eat salmon caught in the wild. Though having the same exact chemical formula, the synthetic astaxanthin molecule has a different shape, and no one knows how well it interacts with the other molecules in the body. All the studies showing how astaxanthin benefits the body have been done with natural astaxanthin, and I believe the synthetic form has not been formally granted GRAS status (generally recognized as safe) by the FDA. Prelimiary studies indicate that the synthetic form does not perform nearly as well. Since there is a huge demand for natural astaxanthin and a tight supply, companies from places like China are attempting to flood the market with synthetic astaxanthin. Always be sure that the label says "natural astaxanthin" not merely "astaxanthin" on the label. And don't accept any other wording, such as "nature-identical," or you'll be getting the synthetic kind. It should also be astaxanthin derived from a microalgae identified as Haematococcus pluvialis. There is a reason that the BioAstin brand has about 50% of the retail astaxanthin market. Its astaxanthin is growth naturally on the Big Island in Hawaii, from that Haematococcus pluvialis strain of microalgae.

I don't think fish oil can be "organic" but it is sourced from wild fish (not farmed) which is good. It's important for what we grow and what we farm (beef, chicken etc.) to be organic but fish isn't the kind of species that can be "organic".

I've never tasted fish in them, and I don't think there is any on the ingredient label. I think that information is just on the label because if an FDA requirement to disclose when processed foods may have come into contact with certain other foods that are prone to trigger severe reactions in a small segment of the population.

MANUFACURED in usa does not mean the FISH ARE USA. MADE IN USA only means that it is manufactured here. They do not say where the fish source is!!!!!

I refridgerate it. But it still ended up tasting like fish. I don't know about the processing of this stuff. I've decided to use it up and try other brands, perhaps more local.
