Some Simple Pointers in Choosing the Best Fish Oil

By: Peter Foremski

So, how do you know that the brand you're buying is the best fish oil? Not an easy thing to do when you're faced with many competing brands staring you in the face. That's why a bit of knowledge about what makes a quality supplement might come in handy.

In reality there are quite a few of these essential fatty acids with shortened names, which studies have revealed are important to the well being and efficient functioning of such important organs as the brain and your heart.
Two to watch out for are known as EPA and DHA, the latter being perhaps the better of the two as far as getting the many stated health benefits goes. The best fish oil capsules will have a high percentage and this is often combined with EPA, and shown on the product label as a combined dosage. That's fine as long as that is as close to the 1000mg level as possible, which is the level at which you seem to reap the best health gains.

One other distinguishing factor to take note of is to try and take notice which type of oil is being used as some are even synthetic and pushed as being of natural origin. The best quality is to be found from using refined fish oil which means it has the least amounts of any pollutants, like heavy metals lead and mercury. Admittedly they'll be in such small amounts that pose no health threat, but why take chances on them being there at all.

The next point is closely linked to the last and involves what types of species are used. The best fish oil will be made from species which live and thrive in the cleanest oceans. That sadly only leaves some parts around places like New Zealand. One in particular is the Hoki fish which I've since discovered has some of the highest levels of DHA.
To get a fuller discourse on what else goes into a premium quality supplement, and what to avoid, take a moment to look over my main site.
