Is There Something "Fishy" About Your Fish Oil?

Is There Something "Fishy" About Your Fish Oil?

What you need to know isn’t on the label. Purity and quality of fish oil supplements (omega-3s, EPA, DHA) is a growing public concern. High quality supplements have the potential to offer wonderful health support. But lesser quality products may contain potentially harmful levels of compounds that negatively impact health—or not work or taste as well as they should.
  • Contamination. Some fish oil products may contain excessive levels of harmful toxins.
  • Country of origin. Some products are manufactured in countries with less consistent quality standards.
  • Rancidity. Fish oil is unstable and can quickly become spoiled and oxidized, which can be bad for your health.
  • Low potency. Some products may contain lower levels of omega-3s than promised on labels.
  • Fishy aftertaste. Fish oil supplements don’t have to taste (or smell) like fish to work well.
You see why it’s important to know what’s behind the label. Is it a preferred source (location, type of fish, responsible fishing methods)? What are the purity standards? Who does the testing? Where is it made? Is it protected against rancidity? How does it taste?

The hard investigative work has already been done for you. Schedule a visit to discuss personalized recommendations for great-tasting, quality fish oils without the worry—and the strength to give the support you need.
