Bio-Fish Oil is derived only from deep ocean fish and is carefully screened to ensure that it is free of possible pollutants. It is an economical fish oil preparation for a daily supplement.

Bio-Fish Oil contains omega 3 in its natural (triglyceride) form, that converts into free fatty acids in your digestive system before absorption. The unique aspect of this preparation is that the capsules are made of fish gelatine, making it 100% fish-derived. Our omega 3 fish oil supplements have a pleasant, natural lemon flavour added to each 1000mg capsule. The fish used is caught in the cleaner waters of the South Pacific and Northern Atlantic.
- 18% EPA (180mg) per capsule
- 12% DHA (120mg) per capsule
The above ratios of EPA and DHA polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) represent the same levels found in nature. Bio-Fish Oil is not chemically or heat modified to claim higher levels.
Our omega 3 fish oil supplements are screened for toxins, PCBs, lead, mercury and other pollutants. In addition, the oil comes from the flesh of the fish, not the liver. Once purified, the oil is poured back into its natural wrapping - gelatine capsules, which are made from fresh fish.
We recommend 3 omega 3 fish oil capsules per day, or as directed by a physician.
Customers who take anticoagulant medications should consult their doctor before taking omega 3 fish oil supplements.
Those with diabetes should take caution.

Fish Oil v Krill Oil:
Krill Oil is now being offered as an omega-3 supplement, with manufacturers claiming that it offers a better alternative to the fish oil we have been trusting for decades. This is not the case in terms of science or value for money.
Product:
If taken as recommended (3 capsules per day):
- 80 capsules – 26 day supply
- 160 capsules – 53 day supply
Yes, as it is a soft fish gelatine capsule. However, those who have difficulty swallowing capsules, can pierce and squeeze out the contents or even chew the capsule.
General:
Omega 3 fatty acids are a group of essential, polyunsaturated fatty acids that are primarily found in fish, namely oily fish like herring, salmon, and mackerel.
The two most important omega-3 fatty acids are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EPA and DHA have several positive health benefits. For instance, a 200 mg per day intake of DHA contributes to the normal development of the brain, eyes, and vision of infants and younger children. In adults, 250 mg of DHA each day contributes to maintaining normal brain and heart function. In addition, it supports a normal heart function. The mentioned levels correspond with 2 (200mg) and 3 (250mg) Bio-Fish Oil capsules daily.
Omega-3 fatty acids are important building blocks in all cells and ensure that cell membranes are sufficiently flexible and have the right fluid content, both of which are important for the correct functioning of cells.
Relative to the food we eat, the size of individual nutrients are actually incredibly small. As a result, we need to use units other than grammes (g) to describe them. Here's what the common units for nutrients are:
Grammes (G)- often used to describe nutritional powders. Most teaspoons of powder weigh approximately 5g.
Milligrams (Mg)- 1000mg is equal to 1g
Micrograms (Mcg or μg)- 1000μg is equal to 1mg
International Units (IU)- Slightly more complex than milligrams (mg) and micrograms (μg), International Units measure differently from nutrient to nutrient. The most common nutrients that are likely to be measured in IU are vitamins D, E and A.
- Vitamin D: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.025 μg of D2 or D3
- Vitamin A: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.3 mcg retinol
- Beta-carotene (provitamin A): 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.6 μg of beta carotene>
- Vitamin E: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.67 mg d-alpha-tocopherol

Lesley Engert - 9th April 2018:
These omega 3 capsules arrived promptly. These capsules do not taste and there is no after taste and they do not repeat on you. i can not stand fish and have been searching for capsules that do not taste or repeat on me. These are excellent and recommended by my dietician.
Ken - 24th July 2017:
I am half way through my first box of Pharma Nord Bio-Fish Oil and am really impressed with the product. I have tried bottled Fish Oil and found it can go off before finishing, also tried other Fish Oil capsules but suffered from the dreaded fishy after taste. No such problems with Bio-Fish Oil, just great tasting, easy to swallow and no more aching knees or wrists.
The delivery service and competitive pricing from MultiVits were also 5 star. All in all a winning combination.

My HDL cholesterol is at a 'protective' level, and I think Omega 3 Fish Oils - as well as an appropriate diet - support this.

G Berlandi - 3rd September 2013:
My wife is intolerant to oily fish and Pharma Nord's is the only one she can take that doesn't repeat on her, whilst the pills are a bit large they're still easy to swallow and very pleasant tasting to chew.
Hannah Wheater - 16th August 2013:
Bio-Fish Oil is a really high quality product and very reasonably priced compared with other fish oils. It provides the right amount of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids and there is no fishy after taste.
Jason Eastham - 16th August 2013:
Taken for 2 years! less pain in hands and knees!
Nora Mynott - 16th August 2013:
Take Pharma Nord fish oil as it benefits my joints and does not taste fishy.
J K Bello - 29th April 2013:
I have tried various fish oil capsules - and I come back to this product each time.
This capsule is easy to take - its not too big for me to swallow which can be a problem for me - and most importantly! there is no fishy after-taste which can be so distasteful with other products.
Also the level of purity discussed in the product description and the screening processes this product goes through are again very important to me.
Its is also good value and I love the freshness the individual blister packs provide.
I am a fan!
A Forbes - 15th February 2013:
These fish oil capsules taste great compared to others I have had. I like how they have very natural fish oil in them and they are in a foil pack which means they don't stick together.
