Lately, I have noticed that my beloved fish oil that keeps my heart strong, my brain clear and my mood even has come under attack. Just the other day as I was out shopping I ran into a friend who urgently informed me that I was potentially “poisoning” my kids by giving them omega 3. Well, not surprisingly, I found that a little unsettling. But fortunately, thanks to my own research into the subject, I did not have to be alarmed.
The issue with omega 3 fish oil is that it is made from fatty fish. Many brands make their fish oil from tuna, mackerel or even sardines, which are certainly oily but not the best sources for omega 3s. Since these fish are often farmed or harvested from polluted waters, it should not surprise anyone taking a supplement made from their oils that they have the potential to be polluted as well. In fact, many studies over the years have found contaminants and pollutants in the majority of brands of omega 3 fish oil.
However, I am not worried in the least about my fish oil. Why? Several good reasons:
1. It’s made from Arctic Circle salmon
These fish are raised and harvested from the clear, icy waters of the Arctic Circle. They are not ever exposed to pollutants.
2. It’s certified toxin free
Every single supplement that I buy has been tested and certified toxin free. No mercury, no heavy metals and no trace contaminants here!
3. It’s used by some serious health players
My supplement is the one used by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is recommended by members of the American College of Toxicology. I know that professionals with serious reputations on the line are backing my product.
So next time someone freaks out on you about your omega 3 supplement, make sure that you do not have to worry about a thing by researching your supplement ahead of time and making sure it is the right and safest product possible for you and your family.
