But is it really?

The market of supplements is full of both quality and poor products, and it's hard to tell the difference. They can all vary in freshness, purity, acid fat content and anti-inflammatory properties.

For example, just because there is more fish oil in a single capsule does not mean there are more omega3 essential fatty acids (the bits that benefit your health most.)

This is because, like most other oils, fish contain various fats. They primarily contain omega3 fats, but omega6s and omega9s are also there. However, these are unsaturated or polyunsaturated fats. In our typical western diets we actually get too much omega6s; what we really need are more omega 3s.

Certain oils made from vegetables contain ALA, in very small portions. Flaxseed oil can be used to make omega 3 tablets but only contain ALA. Some people find it difficult to convert ALA into EPA and DHA (especially the elderly folk and those that are ill) and so it is not advised for those people.

That means some people will find it difficult to get omega 3s into their diet. An alternative method if a fish oil supplement.

Fish oils supply the body with the omega 3 essential fatty acids DHA and EPA in their natural form. Unlike flaxseed oils, they do not need to be converted from ALA. This means that the elderly, the sick and the healthy can all naturally assimilate omega 3s in their body.

This can bring a variety of benefits. Like preventing cancers, lowering blood pressure, maintaining greater clarity of vision and improving the brain function.

So fish oils are the best source for omega 3s. However, not all will provide you with these benefits. To find the best omega3 tablets it should be one that is properly purified (molecularly distilled) and which has more DHA content than EPA (DHA benefits your health more.)

So now that you know this, you can find the properly purified tablet that will benefit your health substantially.
