> I was at a Vitamin Shoppe recently; they have a great sale on their own brand of liquid fish oil ($4.98/8 oz. bottle(?). The only thing I noticed is that there was 25 (mg?) of cholesterol in each teaspoon...I didn't buy it for that reason (I would take around 3 tsp's/day and thought that might be too much extra cholesterol....whatcha think?)
> Thanks!Two things..... all fish oil contains cholesterol (except *maybe* the highly concentrated stuff), even if it's not labelled. Second, dietary cholesterol has no effect on blood cholesterol unless you have a genetic inability to process it (I think that's 1 or 2 % of all people). 95% or more of the cholesterol in your blood is manufactured by your own liver.
That's a good price on fish oil. I'd go for it.
