Aunt Jeni's Essential Fatty Acids
Both fish oil and Vitamin E are regularly utilized in the treatment of skin disorders, such as canine dermatitis and other
inflammatory skin conditions, dryness, alopecia (hair loss) and many other allergy related skin issues. Supplementation with fish oil is helpful
in providing a beautiful lustrous coat, bright eyes and soft, supple skin.
The fish oil used is derived from pure, organic, wild-caught, cold water fishes, rather than farm-raised. There is controversy
surrounding the consumption of farm-raised fish, in terms of the levels of pollutants and contaminants they may contain. Also, farm-raised fish are
fed an unnatural diet (similar to dry, processed pet food) which negatively impacts the quality of the oil derived from their bodies. In the case of
farm-raised salmon, unnatural food additives and dyes are used in order to simulate the orange/pink color that occurs naturally in wild salmon.
Alternative cold water fishes: mackerel, sardine, and anchovy are used instead of salmon. This oil is tested for dioxins, PCBs and potentially harmful
heavy metals, and is compliant according to the stringent standards set forth by the Council for Responsible Nutrition.
