from your link...nature made is on the 'best choice' list along with MANY others...so i think price is primary consideration among the 'best choices' (along with individual tolerance..i'm having no problems at all with the 'odorless' nature's made i'm taking now)

interestingly, the winomeg3 brand wasn't even on the list referenced....doesn't mean it's bad, just not on the list<g>

This is an interesting read:

It's typical of the puffery done in the Fish Oil capsule industry. This one even has a church fronting for it! A con man who can't make it elsewhere can always make a buck in the Health Food industry.

Fish oil is Fish Oil. "Pharmecutical Grade" is a con. There is no such standard for Fish oil that means anything. What counts is How much Omega-3's you are getting for your money. The NatureMade you bought that you think are cheap contain 360mgs of Omega-3 in each capsule. The "WinOmega3" capsules in the site you linked contain 600mg.

The Minister wants $49.95 plus shipping for 60 capsules. That's over 83 cents per capsule. The NatureMade you bought cost about 3 cents a capsule. To match the Omega-3s in the preacher's brand, you need 2 of them. That's 6 cents vs 83 cents.
