Краткий пересказ статьи тут (копирую):

Статья была написана by Modern Alternative Mama с целью объяснить ее позицию по поводу скандала с Fermented Cod Liver Oil (FCLO) от Green Pasture.

Автор - поклонник steam separation.
Другие блоггеры утверждают, что данный способ очистки может повреждать рыбий жир.

Кроме того, весь сентябрь в сети бьются копья по вопросу о том, могут ли маркеры, которые обнаружила лаборатория, являться свидетельством того, что FCLO является оксидированным и опасным для здоровья продуктом.
Данный автор считает, что могут, но при этом совершенно не учитывает то, что, возможно, данный тест требовал нагревания FCLO, что влияет на достоверность результатов.

Я советую обратить внимание на бренды, рекомендованные автором, и, возможно, включить в этот список FCLO, производимый Green Pasture.

Take everything with a grain of salt.

Brands of CLO
What we need to know now is — how do the major brands of CLO stand up to the expected analysis? Do they contain the right amounts of nutrients, in the right proportions?

I’m going to list all the info for every brand, grouped by “not recommended,” “good,” and “best.” I’ll also give notes on what I think of the brand based on this analysis. All of these are analyzed based on a 1-tsp. serving (5 grams).

Best

Vital Nutrients (Gadus morhua)
http://www.vitalnutrients.net/Products/ ... Ultra-Pure
Total fat: 4g
0.5g saturated fat
2g monounsaturated fat
1200 mg omega-3s
320 – 510 mg EPA
460 – 640 mg DHA
Vitamin A: 1800 IU
Vitamin D: 180 IU
PRICING: Unknown, please find a health practitioner who offers this

This brand is only available to health practitioners. The EPA + DHA ratio is 19.5% – 28.8%. The EPA: DHA ratio is roughly 7:10 which is close. This type, if available, appears to be an excellent choice. The only small red flag is that the A:D ration is exactly 10:1, which is considered “optimal.” It has likely been standarized to be this way, meaning some processing likely occurred.

Rosita (Gadus morhua)

Total fat: 4.5g

Total omega-3s: 1460 mg

Vitamin A: 3000 – 5000 IU
Vitamin D: 400 – 500 IU
PRICING: $50 for 150 mL (5 oz.)

It was difficult to find information for this brand, and I spent quite a bit of time searching their site. It’s all buried somewhere, but not easily accessible as it should be. This seems a bit secretive and annoying. The DHA + EPA percentage is 26%. which is high even for true cod. The EPA: DHA is about 5:7, which isn’t quite right. It seems to be a very good choice, though. The ranges of A:D are within what we would expect for this type of fish and the ratios are close but not exact — meaning they likely haven’t been altered.

Cod liver oil is cold-pressed and not refined or processed. This brand is coming to the US in September. The EPA + DHA percentage is 17.4%. The EPA:DHA is 7:9 which is a little off, but not much. The A:D ratio is a little off, and a little low, but I translated these numbers from ug, so it’s possible they may be a little off — they’re close to what we’d expect, though.

Good

Carlson’s (fish type not stated)
http://www.carlsonlabs.com/productliter ... veroil.pdf
Total fat: 5g
Saturated fat: 1g
Monounsaturated fat: ?
Total omega-3s: 1100 mg
500 DHA
400 EPA
Vitamin A: 850 IU
Vitamin D: 450 IU
PRICING: $30 for 500 mL (16.7 oz)

Oil is extracted through steaming, which is a traditional method but not the optimal choice. The vitamin A ratio is concerning as well, it’s almost 2:1 when it should be closer to 10:1. The EPA + DHA is 18%, which is lower than we’d expect for true cod, and higher than for pollock. EPA:DHA is 4:5 which is off.

Sonne’s(fish source not stated)
http://sonnes.com/store/wp-content/uplo ... er-Oil.pdf
Total fat: 4g
Saturated fat: 1g
Monounsaturated fat: 2g
Total omega-3s: 1000 mg
440 mg EPA
440 mg DHA
Vitamin A: 4000 IU
Vitamin D: 400 IU
PRICING: $17 for 16 oz.

This cod liver oil says that it’s from Norwegian cod, but doesn’t state which variety. Its EPA:DHA is way off, at 1:1. The A:D is exactly 10:1, which means it’s likely standardized. The amounts of omega-3s and vitamins are good, though. It is also purified by molecular distillation (which means the vitamins are likely added/synthetic).

Not Recommended or is it so?

NutraPro International (may use multiple types of cod; lists both on their site and doesn’t specify which they use)
http://www.nutraprointl.com/store/p3/Vi ... r_Oil.html
Total fat: 5g
Saturated fat: 1g
Total omega-3s: 600 mg
250 DHA
350 EPA
Vitamin A: 2500 IU
Vitamin D: 250 IU

The DHA + EPA percentage is 12%, which is roughly what we’d expect from pollock. The EPA: DHA ratio is 7:4.6, which is way off (EPA shouldn’t be higher than DHA). This definitely isn’t true cod. The A:D is also 10:1, suggested that it’s been standardized, and both are on the low side.

Garden of Life (cod source not named)
http://www.gardenoflife.com/Products-fo ... andic.aspx
Total fat: 4.5g
Saturated fat: 1g
Total omega-3s: 1400 mg
400 DHA
447 EPA
Vitamin A: 4500 IU
Vitamin D: 450 IU

The DHA + EPA percentage is 18.8%. The EPA:DHA is almost 5:4 which is way off. The A:D ratio is exactly 10:1 which likely means it has been standardized. This may well have been refined in some manner, and is likely a mix of different fish.

Nordic Naturals (fish type not stated)
https://www.nordicnaturals.com/en/Produ ... rodID=1418
Total fat: 5g
Saturated fat: 1g
Monounsaturated fat: ?
Total omega-3s: 1050 mg
485 DHA
350 EPA
Vitamin A: 425 – 2950 IU
Vitamin D: 0 – 20 IU

Their ingredients include “purified arctic cod liver oil” which means some type of refining has occurred. Baby versions use soybean oil mixed in. The percent of EPA + DHA is 16.7%, which is close to what we’d expect for pollock, and much lower than what we’d expect for true cod. The EPA:DHA is 7:10, which is close. A and D are incredibly low, especially D! Basically no benefit in this area. I would absolutely not recommend this.

Green Pastures (fish source not stated; thought to be Alaskan pollock)
Большинство блогов, которым я доверяю, продолжают поддерживать и рекомендовать этот бренд, ссылаясь на то, что результаты проверки анонимной лабораторией не достоверны и неверно интерпретированы.
http://www.greenpasture.org/public/Prod ... /index.cfm
Total fat: 5g
Saturated fat: 1g
Monounsaturated fat: ?
Total omega-3s: 21.2%
5.8% DHA
12% EPA
Vitamin A: 2350 IU
Vitamin D: 980 IU

Most of the data is not included on the product label (except total and saturated fat) and has been pulled from their test results here. This has about 17% DHA and EPA, which is more than we’d expect from pollock (around 13%), but less than we’d expect from true cod (around 23%). This may mean a mix of different fish. EPA:DHA is almost 2:1 which is extremely far off. A:D ratio is rather high, and D especially is very high for what we’d expect. There is no evidence that D is increased by their ” fermentation” process, although a lot of people have speculated or assumed this.

UPD: добавлю еще ссылку на пост Лиды, в котором она так подробно рассказала про Омега-3 и разные способы дистилляции http://lidarick.livejournal.com/199343.html

Получается лучший всё же Green Pastures, который мы и заказывали давно всем форумом)).

А на Айхербе-то есть что-то приличное, так и не поняла?

[*Аня*]

Из этого списка на хербе есть:
Carlson's
Жидкий http://eu.iherb.com/carlson-labs-norwegian-cod-liver-oil-unflavored-16-9-fl-oz-500-ml/7949
Капсулы http://eu.iherb.com/carlson-labs-cod-liver-oil-gems-super-1000-mg-250-soft-gels/2782
Но меня настораживает, что в составе указаны синтетические формы витаминов А и Д

Sonne's http://eu.iherb.com/Sonne-s-No-5-Old-Fashioned-Cod-Liver-Oil-16-fl-oz-473-ml/10231
Выглядит неплохо, интересно как на вкус, по цене привлекательно очень.

Garden of life http://eu.iherb.com/Garden-of-Life-Olde-World-Icelandic-Cod-Liver-Oil-Lemon-Mint-Flavor-8-fl-oz-236-ml/3154
По моему опыту с жиром от гринпасче, мятный вкус хорошо маскирует рыбный запах.

Nordic naturals
Жидкий http://eu.iherb.com/Nordic-Naturals-Arctic-D-Cod-Liver-Oil-Lemon-8-fl-oz-237-ml/7050
Тут добавлен синтетический витамн Д, есть еще вариант, где он не добавлен, но тогда там его очень маленькое количество получается и смысла в таком жире мало.
Есть еще капсулы для детей, говорят, совсем маленькие шарики, но я пока не брала своим, но витамина Д в них смешное количество
http://eu.iherb.com/Nordic-Naturals-Children-s-DHA-Strawberry-250-mg-90-Chewable-Soft-Gels/7053
Этой фирмы я брала капсулы для подростков просто рыбного жира, не из печени, они небольшие и хорошо глотаются.
