Choose Omega-3 Wisely: Verify Quality
Choosing a high-quality Omega-3 supplement requires careful evaluation of its content and purity. Access to data from third-party testing sites allows consumers to check the concentration of EPA and DHA against the label. It's essential to be aware of potential contaminants, such as PCBs and mercury, and ensure that the purification process is effective. Additionally, monitoring oxidation levels is crucial, as anything above 10 in total oxidation indicates rancidity, making the supplement undesirable. Resources like Consumer Lab and the International Fish Oil Standard (IFOS) provide valuable information for finding affordable, quality Omega-3 supplements.
