Rich Hawkins asked: When it comes to fish oil price, it is definitely no indicator of quality! I have seen some very expensive oils containing more toxins and less omega 3 than one costing half as much. Here is a brief guide to show you what to look for to get the best oils available today.
If you want the health benefits like prevention of heart disease, lower cholesterol, prevention of cancer and treatment for arthritis, lower blood pressure and many, many more it is vital to select carefully.
So forget the fish oil price and instead look at the two main omega 3 levels, DHA and EPA, and the purity.
It has now been proven that DHA provides us with most of the benefits, especially heart and brain health, with over 30% of an adult brain being composed of DHA fats. Most supplements still have higher EPA levels as it’s cheaper to make, and also many times they put the levels together so you can’t tell.
Avoid any oils like these and ensure you get at least 250mg of DHA per fish oil capsule for the maximum benefits. A 2:1 ratio of DHA to EPA is a good guide.
Any quality oil will have been molecularly distilled to remove all the poisons like mercury and arsenic. This leaves you with only pure and safe oil, with no risk of ingesting harmful contaminants. Many manufacturers skip this to boost profits, so check carefully.
To give you a guide about fish oil price, the one I personally take costs less than $20 for a month’s supply (60 soft gels) and has 1000mg of oil per gel of which 280mg is DHA and 120mg is EPA. It is also extremely pure, and I have seen many oils costing over $40 for a month’s with far less omega 3, especially DHA.
So in closing, look for an oil based on what it contains and not on the price!
