Fish Oil: Supplements
built 634 days ago
Taking fish oil supplements may actually be healthier than increasing your intake of fish. Rising mercury levels in fish have caused concern about mercury toxicity for humans. However, the multi-stage refining process used to transfer the fish oil from the fish and into the capsule removes most impurities, including heavy metals like mercury.

ONC will immediately increase its capacity to manufacture standard 18:12 fish oil by over 200% and increase its Omega-3 high concentrate oil capacity by over 50%. The ONC-Alicorp Joint Venture will continue to invest an additional 10 million in capital, over the next 12months, on new Omega-3 oil refining equipment which will further expand its production capacity keeping ONC well ahead of the exponential growth in consumer demand for Omega-3 food and supplement products.

If you stick to the science behind omega 3 fish oil supplements then slick marketing will NEVER fool you. Even the best known brands, with all their doctors, infomercials, special offers and implied features can't stand up to the facts of science.

The team of researchers found a protective effect associated with a high intake of fish oils - eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Men with a daily intake of more than 0.214% of daily energy (about 470 mg/day) were 11% less likely to develop prostate cancer than were men with an intake less than 0.057% of energy (about 125 mg/day). The beneficial effect of EPA plus DHA was particularly pronounced in regard to the incidence of advanced prostate cancer. Fish oil supplements were slightly less effective than fish oils from fatty fish perhaps indicating that vitamin D and vitamin A are necessary to obtain the maximum benefit.
