Which Tablets Contains Omega3 Posted: 04-24-07 06:16am
Hi,
I just want to know the name of the
tablets that contains Omega 3 Fatty Acids.
I know the major source of Omega 3 is Fish
Oil but I don't know the tablets name. I
went to the local medical store and he
gave me "Seven Seas" tablets. They are
made of fish oil but does not contain
Omega 3. Currently I am using grounded
Flax Seeds but I wan to use Fish Liver Oil
pills. Can you please let me know the name
of those tablets and I will really
appreciate your help if those tablets are
available in most part of the world
specially in Pakistan.
Look for spectrum naturals brand fish oil
from wild caught small fish.

Most omega 3 supplements on the shelves
are wastes of money. Cod liver oil is a
particularly poor source of the most
beneficial and unique forms of omega 3
fatty acids. You should have supplements
of at
least 200mg per day of
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), preferably two
or three times more if you have a mental
disorder. Look for this written on the
side of the packets. The others forms,
even the much-touted EPA, don't have the
same benefits to the brain or heart, and
may compete with DHA for absorption,
making you worse off than before. All the
other forms can be obtained through your
body's own conversion of DHA in enough
amounts provided you have enough, whereas
other forms are not converted to DHA. For
this reason I order pure DHA supplements.
If you use fish oil, make sure it is
purified of harmful heavy metals like
mercury, as these damage the brain and
mental health. It should also contain a
good preserver, like up to 100% RDA of
vitamin E. My favourite supplement is
[link removed]. It ticks all the boxes.

Spectrum's line of omega has everything
mentioned right there, so they're very
good, but you can only find it at health
food stores.
