EPA12 / DHA10 Refined fish oil

After determining the health purpose knowing the dose of fish oil supplementation, the next step is to examine whether the product is suitable for the user.

1. People who are easy to flatulence afraid of fish oil smell can choose non-fishy fish oil products (but the fish oil itself has a certain fishy smell, the formula without fishy smell usually adds safe legal spices) enteric capsules. They can also take fish oil products before meals to reduce the smell of fish oil.

2. For people with poor swallowing capacity, choose small capsules (relatively low content of ingredients, many Japanese formulas prefer small capsules) liquid products (but liquid products should be considered for preservation).

3, some people have a preference for agent form, such as small packets of powder lozenges/hard capsules/soft capsules. The most practical is the price. Everyone has different ideas about investing in health, so does the budget. However, with the proliferation of private brands advertising costs, the traditional concept of getting what you pay for does seem to be applicable, so judging quality is of extra importance.

Fish oil quality is good bad, we divide "content", "pollutant", "stability" three aspects to discuss.

1. Content: Omega-3 is the main active ingredient of fish oil, but unfortunately, the Omega-3 content of commercially available fish oil health food is necessarily as indicated on the ingredient list of the box, so a reliable notary unit has tested the Omega-3 content of fish oil products to ensure that fish oil can choose its health effect. The public can pay attention to whether the product box has the relevant certification stamp product accessories factory factory inspection report (COA), manufacturer's independent inspection product report, to evaluate the reliability of the product Omega-3 content labeling. As for the issue of absorbance of "TG" "EE" type fish oil, if taken in a single dose, the absorbance of TG type fish oil is indeed high. However, if taken continuously for more than a month, the EPA DHA in human blood are almost the same regardless of TG type EE type.

2, pollutants: due to the accumulation of toxins in the biological chain the pollution of the ecological environment, the contaminant inspection of the safety of fish oil health food is of additional importance, especially heavy metals (mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium), polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins, even radiation inspection. Some will advertise as small fish refined, so there is less worry about heavy metal accumulation problem. In FACT THE MOST RELIABLE see inspection report is!!

3, stability: the stability of fish oil is also very important, high stability of fish oil, to ensure its Omega-3 oil, under normal preservation conditions, easy to rancidity active ingredients decline. The stability freshness of fish oil can be judged by whether the oxygen peroxide value, anisidine value, total oxidation value acid value of fish oil meet the standard.
