subject: Should You Buy Enteric Coated Omega 3 Fish Oil Capsule? [print this page] If you ask me; an enteric coated omega 3 fish oil capsule, is a big no. You should never ever go for them. I am a firm believer of quality and believe that quality is the key that decides the effectivity of a product. So, what is wrong in the enteric coated omega 3 fish oil capsule? It is the intention of manufacture. Read on to find out. Fish are prone to oxidation i.e., they start decaying very soon. If the fish are not handled properly or if plant where oil is extracted from fatty fish is quite far from fishery then because of transportation time, fish start oxidizing before oil can be extracted from them. Oxidation results in rancid odor in the extracted oil. Now manufacturers have two choices - add artificial fragrance to cover the rancid odor or provide an artificial covering on the capsule so as to hide their mistake or inexperience or irresponsibility whatever you may call it. Here comes the role of an enteric coated omega 3 fish oil capsule. Because of enteric coat of these gels, oil gets released in upper intestine instead of stomach. Had oil been released in stomach, you would have immediately identified rancidity in oil with the experience of foul fishy burps and aftertaste. Thus, with little smartness manufactures are able to sell their rancid oil. If I were you; because the manufactures have tried to dupe me once, I would have become skeptical on the purity of oil too - whether they have used proper refining processes to filter out the harmful toxins from the oil or not. Oil can have toxins because the fish caught from ocean waters (these are very polluted these days) are full of toxins. If the generated oil is not pure and it has chemicals or heavy metals like mercury, lead, arsenic, PCBs, etc., we might experience upset stomach, diarrhea, nausea, head ache, etc Though the side effects are not very critical; but why go in for such low quality oil, when you have oil with superlative effects available in the market. To conclude, enteric coated omega 3 fish oil capsule are nothing but rancidity hiders. Instead, you should go in for pure and fresh soft gels. Spend some time on the internet to do your own research and compare different products available in the market.
