Bad Omega3 Pills and How To Avoid Them

Posted: Jun 24, 2009 | Views: 57 | Bookmark and Share

As omega3 pills are one of the most popular and effective supplements on the market today, it comes as no surprise that the market is flooded with them, and the majority will be ineffective, overpriced and sometimes contain contaminants. Here’s how to avoid them and find the very best.

Bad omega3 pills tend to be low in the main essential omega3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. Recent research shows us that it is DHA that is responsible for most of the benefits and should be present in much higher amounts than EPA.

Look to be getting at least 250mg of DHA per capsule to get the many benefits including prevention of heart attacks, lower cholesterol and improved brain function and mental well-being, to name a few.

Recent research from the University of California shows great promise for omega3 pills to help in the fight against breast, colon and prostate cancer, while British researchers have found they can slow or halt AMD, or age related eye disease which affects many of the over 50’s.

Poor quality fish, bad handling and incorrect storage all lead to stale or rancid oil. You can test the quality of a fish oil supplement by cutting one open and smelling, there should only be a faint ocean scent and nothing else.

You should never have any fishy burps or repeating with a good oil and in fact the one I personally take daily is guaranteed to be the purest on earth and no fishy burps – guaranteed!

On the purity side of things, it is vital that your chosen supplement has undergone molecular distillation to remove such impurities as mercury, lead and PCB’s. These potentially harmful toxins exist in many bad supplements as it is an expensive process and cuts into profits.

The result of this process is concentrated pure omega3 pills with higher levels of omega3 to provide you with more benefits.

This process and the quality of a supplement does not mean only the most expensive are the best! In fact it’s quite the opposite with many $40 a month bottles containing far less DHA and more contaminants than a bottles costing less than $20 a month, which is more the price you should be paying anyway.

Now you know about bad omega3 pills and how to avoid them, you can confidently choose the best quality ones and start enjoying the many incredible health benefits they provide.
