As with most things in life, getting the right balance is important, and getting the right omega3 dose is dependent on many factors like purity and quality. Let me show you how to get the best oil at the right dose.
With these omega3 fish oils being the most popular supplement today, there are literally hundreds of products to choose from, but only a handful that are high quality and will give you the correct and most effective omega3 dose.
Oily fish are the best source of the two important omega3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA. Recent research shows us that it is DHA that provides most of the benefits like prevention of heart attacks, lowering of high blood pressure, healthy brain functioning and improved mental well-being.
Most on the market contain more EPA as it is cheaper, so it is wise to check the label or website carefully to see the individual doses. A good guide to quality is around 250mg of DHA per capsule or soft gel. In addition, from my research the more expensive products are not better, in fact many contain far less doses of DHA than the less expensive ones.
To give you a guide to good dosage, the one I take contains 1000mg fish oil, of which 280mg is DHA and 120mg is EPA and 2 soft gels are recommended per day.
Next is the purity of your omega3 dose, and it is essential that the oil has been molecularly distilled to get rid of all the toxins that the fish pick up in their flesh. These can be mercury, lead and even arsenic due to our polluted oceans.
Molecular distillation can also be referred to as pharmaceutical grade as well, and leaves only concentrated oil in its natural or ester form for easy absorption by the body. Again many supplements contain synthetic versions of the oil which are hard for the body to use and a far reduced omega3 dose is present.
Some of the best oil in the world comes from the Hoki fish from New Zealand being naturally high in DHA, over 40% higher than most fish, and extremely low in contaminants due to the pristine sea it's from.
As you can see, the correct omega3 dose depends on many factors, get them right and you can enjoy the amazing benefits without any of the worry.
