Should You Buy Omega3 Supplements and How Can You Tell Which Are the Best?

Expert Author Richard A Russell

To buy omega3 supplements is a matter of personal choice and perhaps budget. The diet of the average American is said to contain far too much omega6 compared to the amount of omega3. It is desirable to decrease omega6 consumption and increase omega3. Unless you believe those who tell us we are OK for omega 3.

Despite what some experts claim, our normal diet is clearly not providing for our needs. We could make some lifestyle changes and begin to cook and eat fresh fish two times a week. This is what is recommended but how realistic is it? It is not working out too well so far.

After all, in these faced paced and pressurised times, we are all looking for convenience. A high quality fish oil supplement can provide the right amount of omega3 to meet your nutritional needs. You can easily see how much is included in the recommended daily dosage and be certain that you are getting enough.

You can also see exactly much DHA and EPA are included. Concentrated fish oil supplements can give you more of these than eating fish or using unconcentrated products. If you dig a little deeper, you can find out if these ingredients are in a highly bio-available form that the body can easily process. This is an important consideration.

You should insist on a product that has been molecularly distilled. This takes care of any worries over contamination of the fish oil even if the fish are from polluted waters. Of course, it is desirable that it is sourced from the cleanest oceans to reduce this risk even further.

I would ask those people who tell us not to buy omega3 supplements, what is the alternative? It is not that we don't know how we should be eating. It is just that few of us have the time or the discipline to prepare healthy, fresh food every day. A good fish oil supplement can at least take care of one of our nutritional needs and safely too.
