Fish Oil Side Effects: Do They Outweigh The Benefits?

Fish oil side effects are very limited. The quality of the fish oil you buy is what usually determines the presence of adverse effects some of which include:

  • fishy burps
  • heartburn
  • indigestion
  • heavy metal toxicity from the presence of heavy metals including mercury and dioxin
  • increased risk of bleeding (this is more as a result of very large doses)

You are probably not getting enough omega 3 fatty acids from your diet for the following reasons:

  • the high cost of seafood especially the types that contain high levels of omega 3's
  • advice from health professionals to limit your consumption of high fat fish that have the highest levels of omega 3's due to high levels of mercury found in them.

A very economical substitute for eating lots of fatty fish is a fish oil supplement.

The type of fish oil supplement you buy will help minimize if not totally eliminate the presence of fish oil side effects.

The criteria to use when purchasing a fish oil supplement that will minimize and even totally eliminate the adverse side effects include:

  • a highly purified fish oil that removes the presence of contaminants including mercury, dioxin and other hard metals. Molecular distillation is a process that does this. And now there is a proprietary 2 step molecular distillation process that results in a pharmaceutical grade standard of purity that is among the highest in the industry.
  • NFS certified (the highest supplement certification) guaranteeing the purity of the fish oil supplement and that the contents of the fish oil match what is stated on the label.
  • money back guarantee - so should you not tolerate the fish oil you will get your money back. The best guarantee I know of on the market is a 180 day money back guarantee
