Honestly, I'm pretty sure that fish oil doesn't even fall under any of those categories and if it does I'm don't know if it would protect you from contamination by heavy metal pollutants, dioxins, etc.

The only way to know is to ask the manufacturer if their product is molleculary distilled. I don't know if you bought caps or liquid. I prefer liguid (even better if it is the kind they keep in a fridge). It is more likely to be good.

All that being said and given that I believe in trying to get the best you can, let me also say that IMO the benefits of of fish and fish oil products probably outweigh the risk of the heavy metals for otherwise healthy people. But there have been some mighty heavy contaminations found in a great many fish oil products, more so than fresh fish.

If it's Vitamin World brand, I would simply drop them an email and ask.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
