Fish Oil Supplements

-

When we don't like fish, eating fish oil supplements are recommended.

Here's tips to choose Fish Oil Supplements


1. Dosage

EPA and DHA dosage recommendation are vary depending on individual health and age.
The recommended daily intake by WHO is 200-500mg of combined EPA and DHA.
Choose fish oil supplement that provides at least 300mg of EPA and DHA per serving.

2. Form

There are many forms of fish oil supplements including ethyl esters (EE), triglycerides (TG), free fatty acids (FFA) and phospholipids (PL). 
In fish, omega-3 fatty acids present as TG, FFA and PL.
Our body doesn't absorb EE well so we try to choose other form than EE. The best form is triglycerides which is the closest thing we can get to real fish.

3. Purity

Processed fish oils are purified and/or concentrated. They are more vulnerable to oxidation and less easily absorbed by the body, unless they're converted back into triglycerides via a synthetic process.

4. Sustainability

Choose fish oil supplement that has a sustainability certification, such as from the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC).
