When choosing a high-quality fish oil there are some things to look for. First, you want one that is made from deep sea, cold-water fish, specifically anchovies and sardines, these will have will have the lowest levels of mercury in them because they are smaller fish. Second, you want to make sure that it has at least 1 gram or 1000 milligrams of EPA and DHA combined. Many of the cheaper brands will not have this high of an amount of EPA and DHA. And third, you don't want one that contains high levels of Omega-6 or 9. Omega-3 fish oil is anti-inflammatory and Omega-6 and 9 are pro-inflammatory, meaning that they cause inflammation (there is a benefit to these, but our diets tend to already be high in Omega-6 and 9 because these can be found in grains and tend to be high in our diets).
So now for the benefits:
- Research has found that fish oil improves cognitive function. Most likely due to the fact that DHA is the most prevalent fatty acid in the brain.
- Research has shown that fish oil leads to healthier arteries.
- There has been an associate link between fish oil consumption and fat loss.
- Helps to reduce inflammation.
- And many more...
We recommend Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega as the best choice, but there are many others out there.
