Of all the supplements, Omega-3 is probably the only one that you have to make sure that you look at the supplement label for.
There was this study that was done that showed that around 95% of the most popular Omega-3 supplements in the US, and there was about 85 of them that were tested, exceeded the normal oxidation level, meaning that these pills, because they’re Omega-3 fatty acids, they come from fish oil, they are oil, they can become rancid and oxidized.
And they usually do this when they’re in a heated environment. There are the rules of thumb.
One, you want to look for a manufacturer that is highly credible and that is certified. Certified? Yeah, so NSF certified. So it’s an external governing board that certifies them on you know, everything, heavy metals, they make sure that the oxidation levels are met, and they make sure that you know what’s in the capsule is actually in the capsule. And I treat my Omega-3s the same way I treat my olive oil.
