Q: |
What is the breakdown of EPA and DHA in your fish oil product? |
|
|
|
A:
|
Nature Made continues to specify the total Omega-3 content of its fish oil and guarantees that the omega-3 contains both EPA and DHA. We no longer specify the amount of EPA and DHA in most of its fish oil products because the EPA and DHA makeup of the Omega-3 in the world’s fish supply has become less constant due to a number of natural factors including: 1) Where the fish are caught, and 2) fluctuations in water temperature and weather (seasonal, global, cyclical i.e. El Nino). Most manufacturers have removed the breakdown from their labels for these same reasons.
For heart health, the American Heart Association recommends between 500-1000 mg of Omega- 3’s per day, containing both EPA and DHA, but they do not provide a specific ratio. For those consumers who would still like the Omega-3 EPA and Omega-3 DHA content broken out, Nature Made does have a Double Strength Fish Oil which has specifically 672mg of Omega-3 EPA and 552mg Omega-3 DHA (per serving of 2 softgels) and our Heart and Stress Defense product provides 1000 mg EPA and 200 mg DHA (per serving of 2 softgels); both achieved through custom blending different types of fish oil. |

Q: |
What form of vitamin D do you use in your products? Is it D2 or D3? |
|
|
|
A:
|
Our vitamin D supplements contain Vitamin D from D3, which is the preferred source of Vitamin D. Further, the Vitamin D in our multivitamins is also from D3. We recently added the “D3” designation on our labels as our consumers have been asking us the source of our Vitamin D. However, please note that we have not changed the source of Vitamin D in these products. |

Q: |
Where does your fish oil come from and what are the quality standards of your Fish Oil products? |
|
|
|
A:
|
We use only the oil from wild, deep water, ocean fish; sardines and anchovies. Each batch of our Fish Oil products is inspected and tested to insure that there are no detectable levels of the contaminants PCB’s, dioxins, or heavy metals such as lead or mercury. We follow the most stringent manufacturing and testing standards established by the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), the standard setting body recognized by the FDA. Our Fish Oil products were the first to receive the USP Dietary Supplement Verification Seal (DSVP) for purity, quality and potency. |

Q: |
Why is my fish oil capsule cloudy? My last bottle had softgels which were clear and shiny. Is there something wrong with my cloudy fish oil capsules? |
|
|
|
A:
|
There is nothing wrong with your Fish Oil. The cloudy softgels are the enteric coated Odorless Fish Oil softgels. The special enteric coating, which helps control fish burps, gives the softgels a cloudy appearance. Our non-enteric coated Fish Oil softgels, such as our Fish Oil Double Strength and Heart and Stress Relief softgels, are clear and shiny. It is likely that your last bottle was the non-enteric coated Fish Oil and your new bottle is the Odorless Fish Oil. |

Q: |
What happened to the easier to swallow calcium pills? |
|
|
|
A:
|
We still manufacture the smaller and easier to swallow Calcium 500 mg with Vitamin D and Calcium 600 mg with Vitamin D tablets, but the labels no longer indicate “smaller and easier” to swallow. You can continue to purchase your Calcium 500 mg with Vitamin D and Calcium 600mg with Vitamin D and expect the same size tablet. |
