Benefit of a fish oil supplement over eating fish

Most of us are becoming increasingly aware of the health benefits associated with eating fresh fish, particularly oily fish, as they contain the essential Omega 3 fatty acids our body needs, but cannot synthesise by itself. At the same time we are also hearing about potentially harmful toxins finding their way into our fish, and as there is no way of telling just by looking at the fish on our supermarket shelves what level of toxins they might contain, we are faced with a dilemma. Do we eat more fish and improve our health, or do we limit our intake of fish to avoid exposure to harmful toxins?

Mercury, for example, can be found in very high levels in fish that are at the top of the food chain such as Shark, Swordfish, King Mackerel and Tilefish and so pregnant women in particular should avoid eating these, it can also be found in Tuna and Salmon. Other toxins that can be present in fish include Dioxins and PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). Consequently, the current recommendation is to eat at least 2 portions of fish a week but no more than 4.

We know that eating fish can lower our risk of heart disease, boost our immune system, and alleviate the symptoms of numerous other conditions of the mind and body. So how can we avoid the risk of contaminants and yet still get enough of the essential nutrients that fish contain? One way is to take fish oil supplements. Fish oil extracted from the fatty tissue of oily fish contains high quantities of the essential Omega 3 fatty acids EPA or eicosapentaenoic acid and DHA docosahexaenoic acid that are so necessary for our health and wellbeing.

It is important to note that as Fish oil is made from fish, it can go rancid very quickly and if it isn't subjected to intensive purification processes, it is still possible for some toxins to find their way into the oil too. For this reason, when choosing a fish oil, it is essential that you opt for a pure, high quality Fish oil, containing a natural antioxidant such as vitamin E. The benefit of a taking a high-grade fish oil supplement over eating fresh fish is that it is free from contaminants so you can safely consume larger quantities and gain all the associated health benefits of eating fresh fish with none of the risks.
