PCBs and Dioxins in Fish Oil - Is it Safe to Supplement With Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Anymore? The media has had a field day talking about the Dioxins and PCB's in
fish oil. Many are now wondering if it is safe to take an omega-3 supplement or
if you should simply save your money. This article will shed some light on that,
so keep reading. You see, the question is "are there PCB's and Dioxins in fish
oil?" The simple answer is yes. You can find PCB's and Dioxins in almost all
parts of the food chain. The question that you should be asking is HOW MUCH is
present in fish oil supplements? For example, the supplement I use has a
standard of not having more than 5 parts per trillion in their omega-3 product.
This is an extremely minuscule amount that will not have an effect on your body
at all. You can practically take as many capsules as you possible could and
nothing would happen. What about other supplements then? That is where this all
becomes interesting, because a few of the most well-known organizations that
look after the quality in these supplements are IFOS (International Fish Oil
Standards) and CRN (Council for Responsible Nutrition). IFOS has a standard
which allows nine times more PCB's in their oil the supplement I use, which is
from a New Zealand company that takes pride in their purity, safety and
effectiveness. CRN's standards are even more frightening at eighteen times
higher than the New Zealand company. When you look at European standards, they
are even higher, so you really have to be careful for what you buy. Does this
mean you should avoid buying a fish oil supplement? Not at all. Scientists and
researchers still say that most people are deficient in this vital fatty acids
Rigid flex PCB. You just have to
take the time to find a product that has been proven pure and effective, just
like mine has. They are hard to find for an affordable price, but I have done
just that, so I know you can too. Some marketers claim that their omega-3
product is free from PCB's but what they don't tell you is that they only test
to 90 parts per trillion, which means that anything under 90 doesn't even show
up on their tests. Compare this to the product I use which has 5 parts per
trillion. A big difference, isn't it? There is no other fish oil on the market
today that meets the rigorous purity standards like the supplement I use, which
comes from a New Zealand company that cares about its customers. Don't let the
news about PCB and Dioxins scare you away from supplementation. Let it instead
motivate you to find a product that truly works and gives you the health
benefits you desire Rigid flex
