Omega-3s: Fishing for Oil

Omega 3's, it sounds like a villainous group from a Marvel comic, but it is one of the single most important nutrients for the human body. Omega 3s have been pushed to the forefront of nutrition companies everywhere with no real explanations to the consumer of it's benefits. With your own due diligence you can find one that is right for you.

Omega 3 fatty acids are EFAs (essential fatty acids). The most popular source is from a dietary supplement that derives it's fatty acid content from fish.

Most companies use different methods in which they purify the fat for consumption. Molecular distillation is the best possible method. Some companies don't exactly make it clear as to which method they use and so you may have to research a bit. A company that is willing to show how well their Omega 3 performs against others is a plus.

Another factor to consider when selecting an Omega-3 is what additives it has. Some companies blend different Omega 3 sources for best results. My favorite Omega-3 is made by Herbalife. Now, their supplement is not very revealing about where and how they got their fish sources for this supplement, and that is a little unnerving. I have, however, used several of their other products in the past and I have been nothing less than pleased with their product line. Based on my previous experience with this company, I trust that they have chosen quality fish sources for this supplement. It is a blend of fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins. Another supplement that I have grown very fond of is called Xtendlife. They provide all the information possible to both educate you on their product as well as on Omega 3 supplements in general. You can find all of this info on their site. From what I can tell, Xtendlife seems to be one of the most pure fish oils on the market.

Here are a couple tricks to know if the fish oil that you currently have is worth what you paid for it. Put a capsule of your fish oil in the freezer, if it freezes solid then that supplement has a considerable amount of contaminants in it. Pure fat doesn't freeze. Another way you can tell is pay attention to how your stomach feels after taking your supplement. If you find that you have a putrid fishy taste in your mouth and you are belching profucely from the supplement, it may not be exactly at excellent standards.
