The War Over (Omega-3 Fish) Oil

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Here is an article from Wend magazine written by Sami Ewers that discusses the process for obtaining omega-3 from fish and the consequences that come with it.

The War Over (Omega-3 Fish) Oil

We’ve all heard of the supposed benefits of fish oil for providing healthy Omega-3 fatty acids. But what most of us haven’t heard is where the fish oil that goes into the bottles and capsules of supplements actually comes from. Unfortunately, its origins are traced back to the menhaden fish, one of the most pivotal fish in the entire ocean food chain. In fact, many other types of fish prey on menhaden because they, themselves, are unable to synthesize omega-3, something that the menhaden produces in abundance.
According to an Op-Ed piece in the New York Times, “Menhaden are entering the final losing phases of a century-and-a-half fight for survival that began when humans started turning huge schools into fertilizer and lamp oil… Today, hundreds of billions of pounds of them are converted into lipstick, salmon feed, paint, “buttery spread,” salad dressing and, yes, some of those omega-3 supplements you have been forcing on your children. All of these products can be made with more environmentally benign substitutes, but menhaden are still used in great (though declining) numbers because they can be caught and processed cheaply.”

Squid winning favor as green omega-3 source

The number of products bearing squid-sourced omega-3s is growing as more suppliers come onboard and its reputation grows as a green source of DHA-rich omega-3s.
Dietary supplements and other products have been launched in the US as well as Argentina and the UK, some at levels upwards of 1000mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid).

The latest comes from Missouri-based CardioTabs, an entity established to manufacture supplements in 1999 by a group of cardiologists, and which plows all revenues into patient education, research, and indigent patient care programs.

The group this week launched CardioTabs Ocean Safe Omega-3, a product with 1000mg of DHA and 100mg of EPA and which it says is sourced from the by-product of food production of sustainable calamari (squid).
