It is often recommended that while looking for an omega 3 supplement, always choose pure omega 3 oil. But what exactly is meant by pure oil? Pure or purified oil is the one that has been refined to remove any impurities found in it. Since omega 3 fatty acids are obtained in large amounts from animal sources (particularly fish), this oil is sure to be contaminated.
High quality fish oil
Vitamin Omega 3
In order to buy a high-quality supplement product, always look for the ones made from pharmaceutical grade fish oil. This ensures that the supplement you are about to buy contains more than 60% of long-chain fatty acids - DHA and EPA.
Pure omega 3 oil should contain highly concentrated DHA and EPA levels. Low-quality fish oil supplements often contain vitamin A and D in large quantities along with impurities like mercury and dioxins. Vitamin A and D serve to reduce the effect of essential acids and impurities are detrimental to overall health.
In order to remove these impurities, a process called molecular distillation is often employed by reputed companies to manufacture the highest quality fish oil products. It is also known as 'high vacuum distillation' and is a very expensive procedure. Because of this reason, pure omega 3 oil is a bit more expensive than other fish oil products. But, isn't your health worth it? Why not use the best - your health will thank you for it.
Some people may also argue that molecularly distilled omega 3 oil may not be fit for consumption. Furthermore, its health benefits are reduced due to exposure to strong light. However, this is not true. Molecular distillation does remove some vitamins along with impurities, but that doesn't mean the overall composition has been disturbed.
DHA and EPA
You consume fish oil to increase DHA and EPA levels in your body, therefore you should not be concerned about how much vitamins pure omega 3 oil contains. The vitamins we consume from our foods and a quality multi vitamin is a much better way to get our vitamins as opposed to fish oil.
Farm-raised fish and some species of fish like swordfish, shark and sablefish are known to be mercury-contaminated. Consumption of these fish (and oil extracted from these sources) may increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Pure omega 3 oil is made from safe wild fish instead of farm-raised fish and is free from any impurities, whether its mercury, PCB or dioxins. An Omega 3 supplement containing a minimum of over 300 mg EPA and 300 mg DHA is safe to consume. Furthermore, always check that the manufacturer you are buying the supplement from is a reputed one and its products conform to established health standards.
