Yep. Looked up your natures bounty and it says “distributed by” on it. They aren’t proud enough of where it’s made to put it on the label.

People, save money on every other household thing but not what you eat. Omega 3 s can save your life but the bottle of safely made, not from china, fish oils without much mercury will cost you around $50. It just will.

If you don’t go to a health food store, order from a good online store like www.herb.com. Read the customer reviews. You will often have your order the next day.

Just wondering if you meant www.iherb.com instead, because when i went to the link you posted my WOT (Web of Trust) plugin popped up indicating a poor rating for that site. iHerb is great site though, i use all the time.

Sadly not all of us have deep wallets. I’ve had no problem with the brand, and I take several different supplements from their line. The only one I had problems with was the calcium (gas/bloating) and it didn’t matter if it was NB or a product from GNC, when I switched to coral calcium that stopped those problems.

The box my collagen comes in says Manufactured by NB, Inc. Bohemia, NY 11716, USA

I use to use Puritan’s Pride a lot.

OK. Will fish oil stop mice from squeaking?

Having been diagnosed as having type II diabetes about five years ago, I started taking fish oil capsules more than two years ago and have had noticable improvement. In fact I have had normal evaluations for the past two years. Finally, we have
Purslane(a flower) growing in our yard and It is supposed to be even better than fish oil. It is free, and it tastes good.

“Facts and Recipes on Purslane

purslaneCondemned by some as an “unsightly, pervasive weed,” purslane is also a free backyard source of protein, vitamin E, vitamin C, and the best source of Omega 3 fatty acids of any leafy plant. There’s no reason to spend money on fish oil supplements if you have this tasty food source growing in your backyard or vegetable garden.

Whether you eat it raw in salads, stir-fried, or added to soups and sauces, purslane is a delicious addition to many recipes. It’s easy to grow, tastes great, and – best of all it is free.”

It also has a beautiful flower.

This is the brand I give my kids:
http://www.amazon.com/Coromega-Omega-3-Supplement-Squeeze-90-Count/dp/B000FFQATA

Tastes a bit like pudding. I have to stop them sneaking it out of the fridge. If you do subscribe-and-save it’s very easy to cancel after first shipment if you don’t like it.

Sometimes they are cost effective but it depends (i.e. shipping etc.). However, I do learn alot from the product reviews regardless of where I end up actually buying the product. Sometimes I hold off buying something at the drugstore until I have a chance to read the product reviews on Amazon.

Not sure if you have ever been to the North West, but up here we grow moss and mold.
