Why do I need to supplement? Can’t I just eat more fish?

- Fatty fish should be an ideal source of omega-3 fatty acids, but unfortunately, most people today don’t eat much fish.
- Some fish can be contaminated with environmental poisons: mercury, organochlorines (fertilizers and pesticides), and cancer causing compounds known as dioxins, furan’s and PCBs are the most common toxins to accumulate in our fish.
- Rancidity: fish starts to become rancid immediately after death, which affects quality of omega-3 and taste.
- Fish fatty acids can be destroyed during the preparation of the fish e.g. frying.
