Characteristics of a high-quality omega-3 food supplement

A high-quality omega-3 food supplement should be pure and free from harmful substances such as heavy metals, dioxins and PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). Companies that are subject to strict quality controls are generally trustworthy. You can find out more about this in the sections "Certifications and test marks" and "Origin of ingredients".

Check the content of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the two most important omega-3 fatty acids. An effective dose should contain a high proportion of EPA and DHA. It makes sense to choose products that are optimally formulated to meet your daily needs.

The quality of omega-3 fatty acids is highly dependent on the source. Fish oil is a common source and it is important that the fish come from sustainable and clean waters. Look for information on the sustainable sourcing of raw materials.

A gentle processing method ensures that the omega-3 fatty acids do not oxidise and retain their effectiveness. High-quality manufacturers use advanced processing technologies to preserve the purity and potency of omega-3 fatty acids.

When selecting your products, look out for certifications from trustworthy organisations such as the MSC seal (Marine Stewardship Council). These certifications confirm the high quality and sustainability of the products. We also recommend products that pursue sustainable goals, such as supporting initiatives like Sea Cleaners, which are actively committed to protecting the oceans from plastic pollution.

Pay attention to the capsule material and avoid products with unnecessary additives or fillers. Quality-conscious manufacturers use high-quality capsule materials and avoid unnecessary additives to ensure the purity and quality of their products.

Choosing a high-quality omega-3 supplement requires attention to various factors such as purity, dosage, origin and certifications. By paying attention to these criteria, you can ensure that you are choosing an effective and safe product.
