Fish Oil Supplements - which brands are best?
Do you wonder whether you should be taking omega-3 fish oil supplements?
If you eat oily seafood several times a week along with a varied diet of fresh whole foods you may already be consuming enough of the
so-called “essential” fatty acids.
However because of the degraded nature of processed modern
food most of us have diets deficient in vital omega-3 fatty acids. Eating the wrong type of fats and oils can
actually have the effect of displacing the “good” essential oils in the
body.
These days many nutritionists, natural therapists,
researchers and doctors are recommending omega-3 fish oil supplements
for a
variety of health conditions and basic health maintenance. Fish
oil supplements have been shown to help improve
arthritis, joint mobility and depression.
There are also clear links showing fish oils can help prevent heart
disease and vision problems. Because omega-3 oils are
important for the development and maintenance of brain and nerve
tissue, it is recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers as
well as young children.
Why not just take good old Cod Liver Oil?
Cod Liver Oil is a good source of Vitamin A and
Vitamin D. It is not necessarily a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. If you think you may need Vitamin A
or Vitamin D talk first with a good doctor or naturopath because it is
possible to overdose in some situations.
If you want to ensure you are getting optimal levels of omega-3 oils
then buy a supplement designed specifically for this purpose.
Choosing a top quality Omega-3 Fish Oil supplement
There are so many brands and some of them are definitely best avoided. Rancid, oxidised fish oils are
actually toxic. It can be confusing
wading through all the competing claims and information from different
suppliers.
