The
Anchovy is attractive compared to other
species of fish oil sources
because its small size and short life-span
make it
less likely to be contaminated by the type
of toxins
generally found in ocean waters, such as
mercury and PCBs. Basically, not all fish
oils and fish oil products are created
equal.

Every cell membrane
in a body contains fatty acids and Essential
Fatty Acids are the necessary fats that help
support many bodily functions for us all.
Unfortunately some of these "good fats" are
not produced by a body on its own and must
be provided by supplementing the diet. This
is why it's important to choose a supplement
that is not only rich in essential fatty
acid content, but also safe. |
|
It
is equally important to choose a
product that clearly states on
the label the species of fish
that is providing the oil and
resulting Essential Fatty Acid
content and in our opinion that
source should be the Anchovy.
A label that is not species
specific could in fact indicate
that the source is bottom
feeders, scavengers or even
other types of fish not suited
for consumption by pets or
people! |

Pets will benefit
just as much as people. The anchovy fish oil
is easily digested by most all pets and most
all will enjoy the flavoring it will provide
when added to their normal pet food brand. |
