What Is The Dirty Secret Behind Omega 3 Capsules?

By Peter Leigh


Fish oil capsules, or what are otherwise known as Omega 3 capsules, are good for you. Right?

Not necessarily.

That's not to say that the Omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oil capsules aren't good for you.

In fact there is ample evidence from hundreds of different studies that the Omega3 fatty acids are essential to good health in a number of different areas.

Amongst other things an adequate supply of the Omega 3 fats can prevent you dying from heart attack, and that has to be as good as it gets. And it's not just heart health, there's a range of other areas of your health that may also benefit from an increased intake of the Omega 3 fats.

And jfor this reason many people are taking fishoil capsules believing that they are doing them good. And the Omega3 fatty acids found in the fishoil capsules are.

But that doesn't mean that the fish oil capsules themselves are all that good.

Huh? Surely if Omega3 fats are good for you, and Omega3 fats are found in fishoil capsules, then fishoil capsules have to be good for you?

Not necessarily.

You see it is now commonly known that fish are contaminated with a range of industrial toxins including Mercury and PCBs. For that reason the government warns us not to eat too much fish.

And some fishoil capsules have been found to contain PCBs, and in fact there is now a lawsuit about just this.

In 2010 a lawsuit was launched against a range of manufacturers of Omega 3 supplements alleging that they have failed to warn consumers of the risks of toxins found in their capsules as required by proposition 65 in California.

This is a little scary. Obviously it pays you to take a little time when choosing your fishoil supplements.

The good news is that there are excellent, high quality and completely clean Omega 3 capsules available. Knowing how to choose them is what counts.
