You’ve decided it’s time to start taking Omega 3 supplements, but don’t know 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 isn’t fish oil just fish oil? Aren’t they all basically the same so you buy the cheapest? No.

Basically it boils down to 4 things. The amount of DHA in the supplements, the freshness of the oils used, the purity of the oil and it’s effectiveness at combating inflammation. Lets look at these one by one.

1. The quantity of the DHA.

Most ordinary capsules are 18/12. This means that they are 18% DHA and 12% EPA. The DHA is the most important Omega 3 fat to your health, and the major fat in your brain is DHA.

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.

Fish come from oceans that are contaminated with nasty toxins that we humans have put in their water. The contaminants come from the land, via rivers that flow into the sea, and other means, like oil rigs. And these chemicals end up in the flesh of the fish.

There’s a range of different standards internationally for the quality, or purity, of fish oil. None are binding. And there’s different methods of decontaminating fish oil.

4. Effectiveness of the supplements.

Some supplements are more effective than others believe it or not. One of the major benefits of Omega 3 fish oils is their ability to reduce inflammation in our bodies. Aspirin is also used for this reason, but Omega 3s work much better.

That’s 4 things to consider when looking for the best Omega 3 supplements, but now I’ll bet you’re even more confused than ever. Sorry.

The good news is that there is a brand of Omega3 supplements that meet all of these criteria. They have 28% DHA and they use fish from the cleanest ocean there is, the southern ocean. They use molecular distillation to process it, the best purification method there is. And they get every batch of fish oil independently tested and publish the results on their website for everyone to see.

And they have test results showing effectiveness against inflammation at around 2 1/2 times more than other omega3 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 there’s the 4 main things that you need to think about if you’re looking to find the best Omega 3 supplements.

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