also there was some other info on this site its addy is http://www.oilofpisces.com/
from the knowledge i have us bodybuilders DONT want high oxidation levels at all
Fish oil and vitamin E go together
BELTSVILLE, MARYLAND. Fish oils are beneficial in the prevention of cancer and cardiovascular disease. They do, however, oxidize very easily and therefore add to the oxidant stress on the body. An experiment was recently carried out by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to see if an increased intake of vitamin E could counteract this detrimental effect of fish oils. Forty men aged 32 to 44 were involved. The men consumed a controlled diet for a total of 28 weeks. For the first 10 weeks they received placebo oil capsules (15 g/day), for the next 10 weeks they received fish oil capsules (15 g/day), and for the last 8 weeks they received the fish oil plus 200 mg of vitamin E (all-rac-alpha-tocopherol). The urinary excretion of peroxidation products (malondialdehyde) more than doubled when the fish oil capsules were introduced but then dropped by a factor of four when vitamin E was added. The vitamin E concentration in the red blood cells dropped very significantly when fish oil was ingested but more than recovered with the vitamin E supplement. It is concluded that the negative effects of fish oil consumption can be overcome by taking them together with vitamin E.

Most commercially available Vitamin E is in the d-alpha tocopherol form or dl-alpha tocopherol (synthetic) form and only capable of delivering a fraction of the benefits of full-spectrum vitamin E. Full-spectrum vitamin E is a critically important phytonutrient. It consists of eight naturally occurring isomers, a family of four tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma and delta) and four tocotrienols (alpha, beta, gamma and delta) homologues.
Tocotrienols are in the class of vitamin E compounds along with tocopherols. They consist of a double ring structure called the chromanol head and an isoprenoid tail (similar to coenzyme Q10). Depending upon whether the chromanol head has 3, 2, or 1 methyl groups attached and where these groups are attached, they are called alpha, gamma, delta, or beta tocotrienols/tocopherols.
The major difference between the tocotrienols and the tocopherols is that the tail is saturated in the case of the tocopherols, but is polyunsaturated in the case of the tocotrienols. As with the fatty acids, a polyunsaturated structure means that the molecule is more reactive and more fluid. This means, for example, that alpha tocotrienol would be much more protective of cell membranes than alpha tocopherol and would more easily be regenerated by Vitamin C[x].
In fact, research has shown that in cell membranes alpha tocotrienol is 40 to 60 times more protective against free radicals than alpha tocopherol leading to the conclusion that rice bran tocotrienols are more potent than tocotrienols from palm oil due to rice bran?s higher concentrations of alpha tocotrienol
