So you want to buy fish oil do you? Do you know how many fishes exist in the sea? Well that’s about how many differing and confusing brands of this supplement exist. But beware, you may have a whale of a time sorting the wheat from the chaff, as many less than healthful brands exist out there in the market place. So let me help you choose wisely, if you will.
When it comes to purchasing supplements, the pharmaceutical organizations tend to raise concerns of safety when this is done via the internet, this is also true when you purchase omega 3’s through this medium. Only buy from an highly reputable supplier who adheres to pharmaceutical grade fish oil standards.
The benefits of omega 3 fatty acids are now widely publicized and most people are aware of the vegetarian forms of omega 3’s, such as flax seed. However, it is a fact that the body has a preference for the main fatty acids found in fish derived omega 3’s. Hence to buy fish oil is the better way to go. Indeed your brain is made up mostly of dha fatty acid which is found in fatty fish, such as the hoki fish of New Zealand.
When making a final decision, there are two important drawbacks you must avoid. We have already discussed the need for a reputable supplier. Such a supplier would ensure that his fish product is molecularly distilled, due to toxins which exist in the ocean. This is imperative and cannot be overstated. Though a reputable supplier would be expected to meet that expectation, the other drawback is not always met.
What is it? When you buy fish oil, make sure it is dha rich and that it is significantly stronger than the fatty acid epa. Hence, check the labeling for distillation information and the ratio of dha to epa fatty acids.
Interestingly, a blend of hoki and tuna oils, molecularly distilled, fits all the criteria I have mentioned without any of the drawback.
