What Makes OmegaKrill the Best Omega-3 Supplement?

Omega-3 fatty acids (such as DHA and EPA) are polyunsaturated fats that are very delicate and susceptible to oxidation, which occurs when unsaturated fats are exposed to oxygen, heat, and light. This leads to the production of free radicals and potentially harmful compounds, as well as rancidification, which results in an unpleasant smell and taste.

If you’ve ever experienced the embarrassment of fish burps or a downright disgusting fishy aftertaste when using an omega-3 supplement, there’s a good chance your supplement had oxidized, spoiled, and gone rancid.

Unfortunately, many companies don’t test for rancidity or take the additional steps necessary to protect these delicate oils. In one study of a sample of omega-3 supplements, researchers found that 83% of the samples tested exceeded the recommended levels for peroxide values (PV), which is an indicator of freshness.

Does your omega-3 supplement contain an optimal blend of DHA and EPA?

DHA and EPA each have very specific functions, and they provide support for unique and distinct health benefits. While EPA is indeed important and seems to be closely correlated to mood and feelings of well-being, DHA generally exceeds EPA by 5- to 30 in most tissues of the body. In fact, DHA is the most predominant fatty acid in the brain and eye tissue, where it is several HUNDRED-fold more abundant than EPA.

DHA has been shown to provide support for healthy brain function. DHA has also been found to have positive effects on key markers of heart health.
