A Common Sense Approach To Picking The Best Fish Oil Suppliers
It seems like it would be an easy task to determine which fish oil suppliers provide
the best combination of high quality and good value, enabling us to make the appropriate purchasing decision, both for ourselves and our families. But sadly this in not the case.
As I write this article I am looking at the labeling of a couple of products purchased from different fish oil suppliers. You would have to look closely to find the reason why one is substantially less expensive and probably less effective than the other.
At first glance it seems both products are comparable, thus making the bargain basement brand the best value. The message printed on the front of the label of most omega 3 fish oil products is similar, always making sure the words omega 3 and something about heart health are in giant print.
One of the bottles (less expensive) we are reviewing has a green tint to keep the light out and prevent the omega 3 rich oil from spoiling, while the other is solid, blocking any light from entering the bottle.
It is important to point out that heat can cause omega 3 supplemental oils to go bad and how it makes its way to your front door or to the shelf of your favorite retail outlet is a significant factor as well. So theoretically if you were to buy these types of oils in the winter months you just might have a slightly better chance of receiving all the health benefits you are paying for.
As we rotate the bottle most of us over a certain age have to scramble for our glasses to read the tiny print. It is here where you will be able to distinguish the better fish oil suppliers and determine which provide the best bang for your buck.
The bargain basement brand runs into a little trouble in this area. You may know that certain types of cold water fatty fish contain the highest quantity of omega 3 fatty acids. These would include hokie, salmon, and certain types of tuna. Other smaller fish such as sardines contain omega 3's as well but are not considered to be the best sources. But as sure as I am writing this article our bargain basement fish oil supplement contains anchovies and sardines along with soy and something called tocopherois. There is no mention of salmon, hokie, or tuna. Maybe they are swimming around the label while I am not looking!
Another factor to take into account when considering products from fish oil suppliers is DHA/EPA content. These are the omega 3 fatty acids that provide the health benefits we are trying to achieve through daily fish oil supplementation. So simple math tells us that when a bottle of omega 3 fish contains twice as much DHA/EPA you could pay more and in return would be getting better value for your buck. This is the case here, with the lowest priced supplement containing less than half as much DHA/EPA per capsule.
Purity is another important issue, with high mercury content being front and center in many peoples minds. In this area both the bargain basement and premium products seems to have similar label ratings with each claiming to be 99.99 percent pure.
There is also one last issue worth mentioning. As a subtext just under the area where the DHA/EPA content is revealed our discount product points out that much of its DHA/EPA is derived from fish oil concentrate. Now this was a real surprise to me and I'm sure it would be to you as well.
In conclusion, there is little doubt that the fish oil suppliers that produce and sell the best products derive their fish oil supplements for fresh fish not concentrate, use no fillers or mystery ingredients, and employ a state of the art purification process to eliminate any mercury or PCB's.
A common sense approach to picking the best fish oil supplements is all about knowing what to look for and then closely scrutinizing the label to find the fish oil supplement that meets your discerning well informed criteria.
