What is Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil? There are three types of fish oil: - Cod liver oil
- Health grade fish oil
- Pharmaceutical grade fish oil (“PGFO”)
Pharmaceutical grade fish oil (“PGFO”) is an anecdotal term and not a medical or scientific term. Remember that it usually takes 100 gallons of health grade fish oil to make 1 gallon of PGFO. |
Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil standards are as follows: - At least 60% of the long-chain fatty acids must consist of EPA and DHA (40:20 TG).
- AA/EPA ratio must be less than .04.
- PCBs per gram of oil should have a much lower level of 45 ppb.
AMB Well Omega-3 PGFO is a highly concentrated triglyceride base fish oil that uses only the finest quality raw materials of fish oils from ocean fish like anchovies, mackerel and sardines. The oil is then put through an exclusive 6-step manufacturing process for extracting the Omega-3s from the fish oil and refining them. In numerous studies, the absorption of Omega-3 fatty acids in their natural triglyceride form are superior to the synthetic ethyl ester form that is common in other concentrated Omega-3 products. 
How to Select 5 Star Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil
- Check that your bottle of pharmaceutical grade fish oil has a Lot Number that has been posted on an official IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards) consumer report site such as IFOS.
- Check to ensure that you are buying a TG (natural) PGFO and not an EE (synthetic) PGFO.
- Check the ingredient label to ensure that the pharmaceutical grade fish oil has a 60% Omega-3 concentration and complies with the CRN and WHO standards.
- Ask your supplier for a Certificate of Analysis and look for its 5 star rating to confirm that the pharmaceutical grade fish oil has exceeded these international standards.
I am happy to report that a Certificate of Analysis for
each batch of AMB Well Omega-3 PGFO has been posted
at IFOS under Consumer Reports.

Recent published studies and media releases have demonstrated high levels of contamination in fish and related seafood products. Some scientists are concerned that this may cause a deficiency in Omega-3 consumption in the population. AMB Well Omega-3 PGFO will provide you and your family with a highly concentrated contaminant-free source of Omega-3 essential fatty acids. Clinical Benefits of Omega-3s in Humans According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the American
Journal of Epidemiology, the New England Journal of Medicine, the Lancet and the Canadian Medical Association Journal, Omega-3 fatty acids may have a significant role in the prevention and supportive management of coronary heart disease. Some cardio-protective effects of Omega-3 fatty acids are anti-arrhythmia, anti-thrombosis, improved endothelial relaxation and reduction in triglyceride levels.
Other growing evidence is showing that Omega-3 fatty acids may be helpful in controlling: - Diabetes
- Arthritis
- Depression
- Postpartum Depression
- Attention Deficit Disorder
- Alzheimer’s Disease
- Brain Function

The Omega-3 Fatty Acid Profile Test In order to assess the positive impact that AMB Well Omega-3 PGFO is having on your health, get tested with the Omega-3 Fatty Acid Profile Test. The Omega-3 Fatty Acid Profile Test is a measurement of the summed levels of the Omega-3 fatty acids in a sample of blood. One can also determine his or her AA/EPA ratio by having the Omega-3 Fatty Acid Profile test performed. To order the Omega-3 Fatty Acid Profile Test, please visit www.Omega3FattyAcidProfile.com |

The American Heart Association recommends a daily intake of 1,000 mg. of Omega-3 for measurable health benefit in cardiovascular care.
