WHY I CHOSE TWINLAB'S FISH OIL OVER COMPETING BRANDS
(1) MADE IN AMERICA: America imports a lot fish oil pills from China...which, reasonably or not, gives me pause. China has had huge food safety problems (e.g., babies dying from tainted formula). Notice that many labels (e.g., Kirkland fish oil) do not state country of origin. But if I'm going to put something in my body, I want to know that it's from as safe of a source as possible.
Twinlab's fish oil capsules are made at their plant in American Fork, Utah (I even called them at 1-800-645-5626 to confirm this).
(2) BOTTLED IN GLASS: Fish oil, once exposed to air (spec., oxygen), will rapidly go rancid. Plastic bottles, surprisingly enough, are not totally impervious to air. Glass bottles are impervious to air. Gel caps are also not impervious air. But the glass bottle keeps the air from getting to the gel caps in the first place.
