Omega 3 Supplements

Omega 3 supplements are available as softgels or as bottled liquids. These products are highly sensitive to damage from heat, oxygen and light. So, whenever you buy omega 3 supplements, make sure that they have been refrigerated and that they are bottled in a dark glass jar. After buying, always store the product in your refrigerator.

I also recommend, you buy omega 3 supplements that contain Vitamin E. Vitamin E is a strong antioxidant that prevents your omega 3 oil from becoming rancid.

The most popular omega 3 supplements are flaxseed oil, which is rich in alpha linolenic acid and omega 3 fish oil, which is a rich source of the more valuable omega 3's: EPA and DHA.

Consumerlab.com tested various omega 3 products. The good news is, no contaminants (like mercury or PCB's) were found in any of the products. However 2 of the products didn't pass the test - one was spoiled and the other didn't contain the labeled amounts.

The report published by Consumerlab.com should help you to select the best omega 3 supplements. 42 different omega 3 products were tested. You can find some information on their website, however, to get the complete report with all details you have to subscribe.

Below is a short list of the details you will discover in the report:

Now, when you take omega 3 supplements, it is important to use only a high quality product. The problem with most omega 3 supplements is that the concentration of omega 3 fatty acids is very low and most of these supplements contain only omega 3 fatty acids, but no omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids, which are equally important - these kinds of products are worthless, don't waste your money on them.

For the last 2 years I used an omega 3 supplement called: Hypercet Omega 3-6-9 and I have to say this is probably the best omega 3 supplement I found so far.

Every now and then, they also do some special offers where you get one bottle and they give you one for free. Here is the website, if you would like to check out this supplement: Hypercet Omega 3-6-9 Supplement Details
