Bad Fish Oil Capsules and How To Avoid Them

Any time a product becomes really popular, the market will be flooded with poor quality ones that offer little in the way of benefits and with fish oil capsules they can even contain dangerous toxins. Once you know what to look for based on proven research, the choice becomes much easier.

Bad fish oil capsules will give you those nasty fishy burps you may have experienced because they contain rancid or stale oil. This is usually disguised with flavourings, preservatives or an enteric coating, all of which are unnecessary.

If you open up a capsule you should be able to detect a faint ocean aroma and no more or else it's poor quality oil and will give few benefits.

Any oil that has not been molecularly distilled should also be avoided as it is likely to contain toxins including mercury, lead, PCB's and arsenic from the fish. Distillation safely removes them and is not performed by many companies due to the cost and at the expense of your health, so check the label or website carefully.

The next thing bad quality fish oil capsules have are low levels of omega 3 fatty acids and especially DHA. The two you will always see and want are DHA and EPA but it's proven today that DHA provides most of the benefits, especially for arthritis, other joint problems, heart and brain health.

In fact a recent study by scientists from the US and Britain have discovered that it's the DHA omega 3 that is converted into a powerful anti–inflammatory chemical called resolvin D2 which protects the heart and helps tremendously to relieve the symptoms of arthritis.

Regarding price, bad fish oil capsules are often more expensive! Some go for over $40 for a month's supply while the best can be had for less than $20, so price is no indicator of quality!

The purest and most effective oil comes today from the New Zealand Hoki fish due to the fact it has very high DHA levels and extremely low levels of contamination, making it the perfect choice. It's also been found that when mixed with distilled Tuna oil, over twice the anti-inflammatory benefits are found.

Now that you know all about bad fish oil capsules and how to best avoid them, you can confidently go about selecting the very best and start enjoying all the many amazing benefits they provide without any of the risks.
