Is there something ‘fishy’ in your fish oil vitamin supplement?

We’ve all seen the research and heard about the benefits of taking a regular fish oil supplement. Where dietary intake is inadequate it can have anti-inflammatory effects for Arthritis sufferers, support healthy brain function and slow the onset of degenerative diseases like Alzheimers. It’s a nutrient that many Australians take as part of their daily routine alongside their multivitamin.

When purchasing your fish oil supplement, there are a few important things to consider to ensure that your supplement delivers its intended benefit.

The body relies on enzymes to convert fish oil into Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA), and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) which are the nutritionally essential Omega 3 fatty acids.  Manufacturers can choose to include EPA and DHA in these active forms which does not rely on the body and have been shown to be therapeutically beneficial. The higher quality fish oil supplements include EPA and DHA in these active forms.

Another important factor is the type of fish used and the impact this has on heavy metal levels. As a general rule, the larger the fish, the higher its propensity for carrying heavy metals like magnesium. Try to choose a fish oil that is derived from small fish types in clean waters to reduce this risk.

The ‘Greenie’ in you might also like to know whether the fish come from environmentally sustainable and renewable waters or whether the fish are farmed or free range. Many Australian manufacturers go to great lengths to ensure that their fish sources are sustainable and humane, while others take less care.

Rest assured that the Theraputic Goods Association (TGA) approves every ingredient in every product before it may be legally sold in Australia so it will never be harmful to you. Rather these fish oil tips are points to look out for when you compare one fish oil to the next.
