TEST: The best fish oils on the market

Since we have already decided that we will start using Omega 3 fatty acid supplementation consciously, it would be worth knowing what to do when purchasing capsules, because not all of them are identical. The most popular lure is the lower price, but before choosing a cheaper supplement, let's first look at it from the inside.

First of all, pay attention to the content of DHA and EPA in the capsule. DHA or docosahexaenoic acid is the most important component of Omega 3 fatty acids. It is responsible for lowering the number of triglycerides in the blood, thus for improving the heart’s efficiency. The second of the acids included in Omega 3 is EPA or eicosapentaenoic acid. This, in turn, supports the nervous system, namely the transmission of information between the nerve fibers, therefore it is helpful in learning and concentration issues.

The second extremely important aspect is the purity of the oil contained in the capsule. For Omega 3 fatty acids to be really effective, they must be obtained from the best quality fish, so it is worth looking at where the oil comes from. The best ones will be those that come from the waters of southern Australia and New Zealand. Avoid those from the Atlantic, the North Sea, as well as the European seas, where very large clusters of people live or oil platforms operate.
