    On One Hand: Omega 3 Fatty Acids

    The best fish oil supplements are packed with pure omega-3 fatty acids. Salmon fish oils contain a high dosage of omega-3 acids. Omega-3's are the healthy, fatty acids found in fish---a vital acid which the human body does not organically produce. Taken on a regular basis, omega-3's are known to prevent inflammation and diseases including heart disease, cancer and arthritis. Fish oils are available for children as well.

    On the Other: Factor in Fish Oil Advertising

    Fish oil advertisements can be deceiving. Be sure that fish oils advertising omega-3 acids are certified to be 100 percent pure. Many fish oils also include toxins, antibiotics, metals and pesticides. Also be sure to factor in how the fish was "pressed" for oils. Avoid any product advertising oil pressed from the head or internal organs of a fish---even salmon. Oil pressed from these parts of the fish can be less than pure.

    Bottom Line

    Fish oils with high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids are the best possible supplement. Salmon fish oils, which include omega-3's, are the healthiest options. Be sure your products are extracted from the fish body and do not include additional potentially harmful substances.

    Triple strength fish oil supplements are the best in terms of potency and purity. The best fish oil is one that has been extracted from fish, like salmon, caught near the coast of Alaska. The waters near the Alaskan coast and higher up in latitude are still relatively pure and free from industrial dumping. Fish caught here are less likely to be contaminated with mercury, other heavy metals or PCBs. One way to make sure you are buying the best fish oil is to make sure you purchase a triple strength fish oil that has been molecularly distilled (pharmaceutical grade). This process efficiently filters any contaminants or pollutants in the fish oil rendering it extremely pure and potent with the two most beneficial omega 3 fatty acids—EPA and DHA. In addition, the best fish oil supplement will have an enteric coating. Many users experience a fishy taste in the mouth which lingers long after the capsule has been ingested. This special, enteric coating, found in Triple Strength Omega-3, allows for digestion of the capsule to take place in the intestines and not in the stomach.
