"Grade" of fish oil and validity of krill oil claims -

"Grade" of fish oil and validity of krill oil claims
Dear Dr. Sears,
Q: I purchased three of your books this afternoon and noticed that you recommend taking "pharmaceutical-grade" fish oil. I called the maker of a 1200 mg fish oil I am currently taking and asked the representative about the grade of their fish oil. She said that in the US, there is no "grade" of fish oil. I thanked her, and hung up. This tells me one of three things:
a - she doesn't know what she' talking about;
b - she's correct and there is no grading of fish oil in the US;
c - therefore (if b is correct) you're from Canada! (that's intended as a joke!)
What name brands of fish oil do you consider pharmaceutical grade, and where are they available?
Second question: What is your opinion of the recent claim that krill oil is exponentially superior in strength and effectiveness to fish oil.?
Ray
Dear Ray,
A: It is correct that there are no specifications for a “pharmaceutical”-grade fish oil, however, there is a free Web site that analyzes commercial fish oils for concentration and purity. The web site is www.ifosprogram . c om. If a fish oil has a five-star rating, then you can consider it a grade of fish oil that would meet my recommendations for a pharmaceutical grade. All lots of fish oil ever produced by Zone Labs have been posted on that Web site.
It is impossible to remove toxins such as PCBs or dioxins from krill oil. Furthermore, I have not seen any large-scale clinical studies with krill oil.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Misplaced your keys? Can't place that face? Study findings suggest that you may be able to lessen the frequency of these senior moments simply by eating more fish. And the more fish you eat, the bigger the effect, according to research conducted in Norway.

High LDL -
Relevance: 1020
Q: I have a family history of cardiovascular disease and at one time had high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I have been controlling my blood pressure and cholesterol with exercise and diet. I was able to reduce my total cholesterol to 170. Since adding 3 grams of EPA/DHA fish oil, my LDL has increased to 230. I was also diagnosed with a low thyroid and have started taking thyroid medication. My doctor said that the fish oil could be increasing my LDL. My TG/HDL ratio is 1.2, and my CRP is normal. I did read on the Internet that fish oil can elevate LDL. Taking the fish oil has helped me in many ways -- better mood, better insulin areas, improved energy levels, better appetite, etc. Have you seen elevated LDLs from taking fish oil and should I continue to take the fish oil? My doctor suggested I stop taking the fish oil.
Q: Fish oils can elevate LDL levels because there is a competition between the reduction of LDL receptors on smooth muscle cells (which would increase serum LDL levels) and a reduction of cholesterol synthesis in the liver (which would decrease LDL levels). Depending on which of these two events occurs first can give a transient increase in LDL levels. However, the fish oil also reduces the serum TG levels, thus making the LDL particles far less atherogenic since they become larger as the TG levels drop. I would consider reducing your fish oil dose to about 1.5 grams of EPA and DHA per day while your new thyroid medication is stabilizing (this will take about three months). Then take you cholesterol test again, and I believe your LDL will be much improved. Then consider going back to the 3 grams of EPA and DHA per day.

Allergic to fish -
Relevance: 1019
Q: Dear Dr. Sears,
I am very allergic to all fish (but not to any shellfish), so I obviously can't eat fish as part of the Zone diet. However, I am not sure whether I am also allergic to fish oil additives. How are fish oil additives actually made? Do you think a fish allergy is likely to apply to fish oil additives as well?
Rosalind A: Dear Rosalind:
Highly purified pharmaceutical-grade fish oil is totally non-allergenic. This would be the ideal choice for you as the toxins have been refined out. Usually most of the allergenic response to fish comes from the protein components in the fish. Check with your doctor.
