What types of fish does the fish oil in this product come from? The box doesn't say.

I read all the fine print on the box and on the bottle and it just says 'fish'.

I don't have Spring Valley bottle now, have Nature Made bottle (on side says "comes from deep ocean waters...not supplied from farm raised") ... also, googled and found Dr. Weil website that says "fish oil is found in the fatty tissues of cold water, oily fish. It is also available in supplement form for those who eat little or no fish". sounds cold water to me from the "deep ocean waters" reference first.

That's a darn good question, and I don't know the answer to it. It would be a good thing to know considering high levels of mercury reported accumulating in some fish over the last several years. I would also like to know if mercury actually settles in the "oil" that is extracted for human consumption, or does it accumulate in other fish body structures and fluids, leaving the fish oil we humans use mercury free, or at least relatively mercury free. The manufacturer claims their oil comes from deep, clear, clean, cold contaminate free Norwegian fiords...or something like that....but I don't recall if they mentioned that they tested for mercury. I have read the box, and some on their website, in the past. I will check into their testing for mercury, and I would also like to know more about mercury contamination in fish-where it accumulates in fish, and where in the world geographically, it seems to be a bigger problem. Anyone, that has information on the above, please let me know. Thanks for your time.

The ingredients says purified deep sea fish oil from anchovies and sardines .so i guess both would be the answer for your question! I hope that helps

As shown in the previous comment, I don't know either. But compared to all the 'other' fish oil products...Carlson is the purest.

Does not have a fishy after taste BECAUSE it does not contain any fish oils. Read the ingredients.

The product is FDA regulated, distributed from the USA but claims the fish oil is harvested from waters in Norway.

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.

If you click on the box, you can see the answers to your questions. It is 'kosher', no preservatives & collagen is hydorlyzed. If you review the back & sides of the box; you can see that fish is not listed. Double click on the box and you can see all views on what it contains, etc. I hope that this will help you.

I am not sure if this oil has soy or not. Main ingredients are: "anchovy, sardine, mackerel" , "natural lemon flavor", and "natural tocopherols". There is no further explanation about the natural tochopherols and from what substances they derived. However, the fish oil is bottled and produced in Norway for Carlson Laboratories located in Arlington Heights, Illinois. If you want to check if these "natural tocopherols" derived from soy, I suggest please call their phone number: 888-234-5656 or 847-255-1600, or visit www.carlsonlabs.com. Hope this helps.

If you want a real good quality fish oil that doesn't smell at all like fish and leaves over no fishy aftertaste take a look at this one Zahler 3000mg of Fish Oil, 900 mg EPA 600 mg DHA 90 mg DPA total 1860mg of Omega-3, 180 Softgels I experienced absolutely no issues with this one and I also can't handle fish.

Looking at the bottle . . . it said the fish oil capsule contained EPA and DHA, but it did not inform as to the number of mg in the capsule. Sorry I could not be more help.

Hello Erin,The ingredients in this product are Vitamin A under the other ingredients it contains: softgel capsule (gelatin, glycerin, water) and soybean oil. Unfortunately NOW Foods does not carry another Vitamin A from Fish Oil. Please search Amazon for any other options. -Kally N

I have no idea. You'd have to ask the manufacturer. I'm assuming that expiration dates change according to the processing lot of the fish oil capsules.
