The benefits of supplementing with Omega 3's are well noted. However, many people don't quite realize the extreme importance of being very choosy in which grade and brand they use. I do not carry health food grades nor do I promote their usage. It takes 100 gallons of raw fish oil to make 1 gallon of Ultra Refined Fish Oil. What is left over from purifying and refining these Ultra Pure oils is predominantly what is available in health food stores. Fish oil is known to be a very volatile oil. By that I mean that as soon as it is pressed from the source it can begin to break down and become rancid. A better company will ensure that the oils are protected to the full extent by the use of cold refining techniques and nitrogen pumped into any containers during processing. It is also important to KNOW that a company is providing a very fresh source and maintaining their wharehouses at proper temperatures to control breakdown of the oils during storage.
It costs more to produce an oil of this type of quality. These types of oils traditionally go through many stages of purification and the purity is worth it. The concentrated levels of DHA and EPA is worth it! With the known contamination of fish in the world, you definately want to make sure that you are not ingesting environmental contaminants such as mercury, Pcb's, Dioxins, and any other heavy metals. Where a fish oil is tested is very important. A very good testing facility will maintain their equipment, ensure regular calibration of equipment, and update and purchase the latest state of the art testing equipment. It does make a difference!
A highly refined fish oil will be more concentrated in the beneficial essential fatty acids. It may also cost you more per serving, but the rewards and benefits are much greater and it is really more bang for your buck in the long run! If you did the math, one capsule of SeaLogix provides as much as 2 capsules of most brands. Try it today!
