Fish oil supplement. Not many people around the world eat fish, much less omega 3 fish. It is not only a case of ignorance on the benefits for their health but it may not be in their culture, for lack of availability, or just because they donīt like the taste.

This situation exist even though it is a well known fact that omega 3 fish reduces heart disease , improves your mind and mood , protects against some cancers and improves your immunologic system, more than 90% of the population in the western hemisphere has a fish oil deficiency.

Fresh oily fish is one of the best and most convenient sources of omega-3 essential fatty acids. It is the only exception to the need to restrict dietary fat for better health and weight loss. Unlike other foods rich in omega-3 essential fatty acids, like flax or linseed oil, fresh fish is freely available. And unlike nuts and seeds - the other main food source of omega-3, oily fish is a much richer source.

The amount of tuna fish you would have to eat daily in order to maintain a proper omega 6 / omega 3 ratio would make you hate tuna very fast. The “normal American” diet has 20 to 50 times less omega 3 than what we need to keep us healthy. That is the main reason to take a fish oil supplement.

Most of the omega 3 fish oil you find today in the general market is produced by a process called molecular distillation.

For example, ConsumerLab.com found no detectable levels of mercury (less than 1.5 parts per billion) in more than 40 fish oil products analyzed. Consumer Reports also recently tested several popular brands and found that none contained significant levels of mercury, dioxins or PCBs. All that confirms the benefit of fish oil supplements.

These good news of the benefit of fish oil supplements are important for those taking high therapeutic doses to treat neurological disorders, such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and depression. Distillation processes used by most manufacturers to remove contaminants may also explain the lack of heavy metals and other toxins.
