Finding The Best Fish Oil Supplements.

You’ve decided it’s time to start taking fish oil supplements, but how to find the best fish oil supplements?

I can understand that, it’s confusing. There’s so many Omega 3 capsules around, and they differ so much in price. More capsules in the bottle, less capsules. More expensive, less expensive.

But surely an Omega supplement is an Omega supplement, just choose the cheapest, don’t you? Well no, actually there’s way more to think of when trying to find the best fish oil capsules. Price is only a minor part of it.

There’s 4 things you need to consider. The volume of DHA in the capsules, the freshness of the capsules, the purity of the oil in them and their effectiveness. Lets look at these.

1. The quantity of the DHA.

DHA is the most important of the Omega3 fatty acids. It’s the primary fat in our brain, and the one you most want to get from your supplements, along with EPA. Most capsules are 18/12, meaning that 1000 mg per serve gives you 180 mg of DHA (18%) and 120 mg of EPA (12%).

But how do you find out how much DHA is in your capsules? Read the label. If it’s not listed on the label don’t buy them because it isn’t there for a reason. There isn’t a lot, if there was they’d tell you.

2. Freshness of the oils.

Fish oil can go rancid, or oxidize. When you take a capsule and it “repeats” on you, or burps up, it’s probably because it’s rancid. Oxidized fish oil is high in free radicals and isn’t good for you, as any free radicals aren’t good for you.

3. Purity of the fish oils used.

Our friends from the sea are contaminated with toxins that we, humans, have put in their ocean. It comes from the land via rivers, (and from oil rigs) and it contaminates the water they swim in. It ends up in their flesh, and the oil that comes from it.

There’s all sorts of standards for fish oil contamination, none binding, all varying. And different methods of decontamination of fish oils.

4. Effectiveness of the supplements.

Believe it or not some supplements are more effective than others. For example one of the major health benefits of the best fish oil supplements are their anti inflammatory effect. (Much more effective than aspirin). But not all are as effective against inflammation as others.

So there’s 4 things to think about when choosing your Omega 3 supplements. Are you even more confused now? Sorry.

But there is good news. There is one brand of Omega 3 supplements that fulfill all these criteria. They have 28% DHA, they use oil from fish caught in the cleanest ocean in the world, the southern ocean. They purify it using molecular distillation, the most effective purification method. Then they take each batch of fish oil to an independent lab to test it, and publish the results on their website to customers can check.

And tests show that they are up to 2 1/2 times more effective against inflammation than other supplements.

Now I have to tell you that they aren’t the cheapest fish oil capsules, hopefully I’ve explained enough for you to see why the cheapest aren’t always the best.

So now you know what things you need to look for when choosing the best fish oil supplements.

But if you visit my website you’ll find out which Omega 3 supplements meet all 4 of these requirements.
