Wild fatty fish, such as herring, sardines or mackerel, are a very good source of valuable unsaturated fatty acids Omega-3 EPA and DHA as well as vitamin D. Lean fish, on the other hand (kibbeling, fish sticks, tilapia and pangasius) hardly contain these important nutrients. Pure Arctic MSC Fish Oil with Vitamin D is for anyone who has difficulty eating fatty fish.
