Omega 3 Fish Oil And The Benefits To Your Health

Are you planning on adding omega 3 fish oil to your daily diet? Congratulations for making a very wise decision! Over the years the benefits of adding fish oil to your nutrition as a dietry supplement, have been proven over and over again. Many studies that were carried out in different countries shows us, that the fatty acids DHA and EPA have a huge positive effect on our health. These fatty acids are found in oily fish, however, the vegatarians out there need not worry. The acids are also present in other foods such as pumkin and flaxseeds, lentils, walnuts, and in marine algae which can also be purchased as a supplement.

Although there is no government regulation for the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) on omega 3, it is suggested that we should take at least 1000mg per day. There are a lot of people that do not and cannot eat fish every week. The solution here is to buy the fatty acids as a supplement. Me and my family do eat fish every week however, we still take our fish oil in capsule form. Each capsule contains 1000mg of fatty acids.
When you decide to buy your supplement, please take note of how much DHA and EPA is in the product. Most products have more EPA than DHA. The DHA acids give us the most benefits so when buying a product, try to purchase one with as much DHA as possible. So sad it is but true, most of the fish in our days are contaminated with toxins. One of the main toxins being mercury. Before you buy an fish oil supplement, check if there are any levels of PCB's and heavy metals in the product. A good supplier will have the details on this and they will have test data on the purity of the product.

Here is a basic guide on what you need to consider when choosing your product.
What type of fish is being used? Is the fish caught in local source where the end product is produced, ensuring freshness? Is the extracted oil naturally high in DHA and EPA Omega 3? Most importantly with DHA?
Does the product state exactly, the breakdown between DHA and not only the total omega 3 content per serving? Does it also tell you the totals per serving? How many servings per bottle? And last but not least, is the product purified, in other words, molecularly distilled? There is one question missing here which I actually find irrelevant if you have found such a high quality product. Yes, is it expensive? Well no it doesn't have to be. You can buy such a product for less than $20.
It took me a long time to find this product, but I know now that me and my loved ones have the best fish oils available. You will be given access to an in depth free buyers guide at the end of this article.
