- One bottle of Omega-3 PGFO capsules will last 3 months after opening.
- Omega-3 PGFO capsules are resistant to high temperatures of up to 40 degrees Celcius and do not need refrigerated AFTER the bottle is opened, so they are perfect to travel with.

- Some customers may require less than 3 capsules daily while others may require more capsules daily. Once the daily dosage is determined if treating a specific condition, it is easy to count out the capsules.

Disadvantages of Omega-3 PGFO Capsules

A-M B-Well™ Omega-3 PGFO Pills
A-M B-Well™ Omega-3 PGFO pills have a Natural Product Number ("NPN) 80002607 issued by the Natural Health Products Directorate ("NHPD") of Canada. A-M B-Well™ Omega-3 PGFO fish oil pills have a highly concentrated fish oil derived from ultra refined, molecularly distilled fish oil. Each bottle contains 90 capsules. Each 1,000 mg. capsule contains a minimum of *400 mg. of EPA and *200 mg. of DHA (both as triglyceride, TG), for a minimum summed total of 600 mg. of Omega-3s per capsule. The remaining 400 mg. is made up of glycerin, purified water, and 10 I.U.s of Vitamin E for oxidative stability. Our Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil has been purified using advanced molecular distillation to make it virtually contamination free of PCB's, mercury, dioxins, furans and heavy metals often present in related products containing Omega-3 fatty acids.
What is Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil and what are its benefits?
A-M B-Well™ Omega-3 PGFO is a highly concentrated triglyceride base fish oil that uses only the finest quality raw materials of cold-water fish oils caught off the coast of Peru. The base oil is 95% anchovy, 2.5% sardine and 2.5% mackerel. Pharmaceutical Grade Fish oil contains high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids called EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoid acid). These fatty acids cannot be made in the body and must be obtained from our diet.
There are three types of fish oil:
- Cod liver oil
- Health grade fish oil (commonly referred to as 18:12 containing 180 EPA and 120 DHA or 300 mg. Omega 3s per 1 gram capsule)
- Pharmaceutical grade fish oil (“PGFO”) containing a minimum summed total of 600 mg. Omega 3 per 1 gram capsule)
* The 400 mg of EPA and 200 mg of DHA is often expressed as a 40:20TG EPA/DHA product in parts per 100.
Remember that it usually takes 100 gallons of health grade fish oil to make 1 gallon of pharmaceutical grade fish oil.

Clinical Benefits of an Omega 3 Diet
The best diet is one that is rich in fish, preferably small in size, at the bottom of the food chain. This will help prevent contamination from mercury, PCB's and other toxins in medium to large fish.
The minimum daily requirement of Omega-3s as recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations ("FAO") is 1.5% of daily caloric needs. For example, if you consume 1,800 kcal per day of food, you should ingest at least 3 grams of Omega-3s. This amount is hard to reach because foods rich in these fats are not very attractive, and not everyone wants or can eat fish every day. If you cannot reach the recommended daily amount of Omega-3s from food, it then becomes crucial to choose an Omega-3 supplement.
According to clinical studies, the fatty acids EPA and DHA provide numerous health benefits. EPA may help to prevent or alleviate diseases resulting from chronic inflammation that lead to heart disease, stroke, arthritis and obesity. DHA is important for the brain, eyes and also the heart and is very important in an infant and child’s development.
