I have not followed up on this. Someone else posted a comment that the Kirkland brand had to change the label claims due to variables stemming from the fish used. That makes sense but I have not followed it up. I still see people benefitting from the Kirkland brand, it's inexpensive...so I tend to run with that. I'm stoked you have seen benefit from a qualitative shift in your chow. Pseudo-science wins again!! Hey Brian!

At the time, you mentioned that you planned to "re-check" the Costco Kirklands brand fish oil to make sure it was still up to par - quality wise. Have you done this yet? If so, what did you find? I've been using this brand since it seems to be the most economical I've seen so far. On another note, my wife & I went totally Paleo 1-1-10 and are seeing a BIG difference. We had been on the Zone...lost weight, but didn't have the increase in energy that we are experiencing with Paleo. Plus, your comments about "quality over quantity" just make more sense. And I'd rather look like you than Barry Sears any day. We've made use of the recipes on www.everydaypaleo.com site that your trainer setup...so tell her thanks. Thanks again for all that you do on this and other sites...you've helped me "see the light" when it comes to nutrition. Please finish the book!!!Thanks!! Brian Robb,

Occasional protein powder. One abnormal kidney number as well, not very off, getting it retested though. No other supps really, multi vitamin thats about it. Occasional protein powder.

My wife noticed a nice oil slick in the john with my urine. I am 6'2" 220# and taking maybe 1- 2 tablespoons of the Nordic Naturals a day. I just saw the rainbow shine myself last night....cause for concern? Just got blood work back as well low TG 53, 216 total cholesterol, VLDL 11, LDL 141, HDL 64, and 3.4 CHOL/HDL ratio. My wife is a bit worried but after reading a bunch here and the first 3 podcasts i am thinking commit a bit more to the paleo ie. leaner meats and I am doing alright. I will ask the doc about that LDL ratio and the TG. Thank You for this amazing resource! Robb,
