Why Omega-3 matters
Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), are essential for heart health, brain function, joint mobility, and managing inflammation. The body cannot produce them in adequate quantities, so they must come from diet or supplements. Fish is the richest natural source, but fish oil capsules are a practical daily alternative for most people.
What to check before buying
- At least 500mg combined EPA + DHA per serving (not total fish oil)
- Molecular distillation for purity, removes heavy metals and PCBs
- Freshness indicators: low oxidation (TOTOX) values where listed
- Halal certification if required, some brands offer halal-certified fish oil
- Triglyceride form absorbs better than ethyl ester form
- Algae-based Omega-3 for a plant-based or vegan alternative (contains EPA + DHA)
- Clear expiry date, fish oil oxidises over time
