Is a good idea - didn't even know they made them! Any products you recommend/links?


This is the stuff i looked into a while back, quite a high DHA:EPA ratio and is relatively cheap compared to some other products I've seen. I'm not to botherd about the whole heavy metal issue with fish oil, but could be a good choice if you really want to be certain for pregnancy.

Thanks RoB that's good stuff. Since EPA and DHA in fish oil isn't synthesised by the fish themselves but comes from the algae they ate anyway seems a good idea to go right to the source!

Yup, plus its pretty damn sustainable if your in to all that green malarkey. I want to look into genetically modified bacteria for producing huge amounts of EPA/DHA oil, I reacon there would be a huge market for cheap completely pure DHA or EPA oils.
