Your presence here indicates that you are a health conscious person and you are aware of the omega 3 fats and their benefits. But currently you are confused on the right choice of source and are looking for answer to the question that what is better -- eating fish or taking fish capsules? You are not alone, there are millions out there pondering upon the same question. Intake of fish capsules is any day better than taking fishes to bridge the gap of deficiency of omega 3 fatty acids in our body. Let us go back a bit and start from basics to understand how. DHA and EPA are two forms of omega 3 fatty acids that are readily absorbed by our body. Both of them are essential for functional growth of various parts like brain, nervous system, etc. Since neither of them is produced within our body, we have to depend on our diet to avoid their deficiency. Fishes are rich source of DHA and EPA. Because ocean water is polluted with various chemicals, fishes inside them are also not spared. They are full of toxins like PCBs, Dioxins, lead, mercury, etc. Even farm fed fishes are also not uncontaminated as the pellets fed to them are partly made from tainted fish. Thus, the safest choice is to shift to fish capsules. These capsules contain fish oil. Fish oil as the name suggest is the oil extracted from the tissues of healthy, fat and oily fishes. So it is rich in DHA and EPA. Just filling the capsules with the fishoil, does not make them good for use. There are many important processes that should be followed while processing the fish oil so that it is pure and effective. Salient feature of effective fish capsules – 1. They should be highly concentrated and should have higher percentage of DHA as compared to EPA. A soft gel should contain 280mg of DHA and 120 mg of EPA for the maximum rewards. 2. Oil in them should have under gone molecular distillation process. This process not only reduces the levels of toxins in the oil but also results in an end product that is of pharmaceutical grade. 3. They should not have any foul smell, instead should smell like ocean water. You can be sure of presence of any artificial fragrance in them by cutting a soft gel and putting it to smell test. If you are able to identify fragrances like lime – beware, the oil is not fresh. Simply discard it. Since all the products available in the market are effective, be aware of the cheap ones. They can do more harm than good. To know more about the effective fishoil soft gels that I take daily, visit my website. There I have also described the benefits of omega 3 in detail.
