Hi
regarding the fish oil, the link for xtend-life:
http://xtend-life.com/product/Omega_3_DHA_Fish_Oil/Introduction.aspx
the other link is:http://www.omega-3.co.nz/index.pasp
The loveliness of things is the price is very affordable for a quality product, even cheaper than me buying supermarket products with 120mgDHA and 180mg EPA on 1000mg fish oil.
I give my baby 5ml of liquid iron and the content of 1 fish oil softgel every morning together, straight; and she takes them all no complaint of smell or taste, bless her. I can not take fish oil without the softgel cover myself.
By the way, probably from xtend-life website, I read that it’s not good to put flavour in the fish oil.
Also, DPA is the third most common omega-3 in fish oil. There has not been a lot of research carried out on this component. However, it does appear that there are some real benefits from DPA as like DHA it is a complex fatty acid with 22 carbon bonds, unlike EPA which only has 20 carbon bonds. ALA in flaxeed oil has only 18 carbon bonds.
Here is a blog of Warren, the founder of Xtend-life on flaxeed Omega
Flaxseed oil just doesn’t ‘cut it’
Although flax seed oil is a good ingredient and there is nothing wrong with taking it, you must be careful that you don’t take it to the exclusion of a good Omega 3 fish oil.
The reason?
As I have alluded to a number of times over the years it is because flax seed oil does not help raise your levels of DHA which is probably the most important of all the essential fatty acids. Proponents of flax seed oil will tell you that the body can convert ALA (which is the main constituant of flax seed oil) to DHA.
This is simply not true…at least to any extent. A minute fraction may be able to be converted but nowhere near enough to meet your body’s needs. This is because the DHA molecule is a lot more complex that the ALA molecule. Please click here and you will find more info about why this is so.
I attach the buyer guide for Omega 3 here. It has quite a lot of interesting info.
