The Carlson one has been the best for a while and since the Perricone is new…Im not sure. I’ve heard a lot about the Perricone. Plus the idea that its made from wild sockeye salmon is making me think.
Look at the supplement facts. You want 2,000 mg EPA/DHA in a daily dose. However, it’s natural for about 20% of the omega-3 content to be made up of other omega-3s. Generally doctors believe that since human genetics adapted to require fish oil in its natural state, the natural composition ratio is better than one with more than 80% of its omega-3 coming from EPA/DHA. The total EPA/DHA content should not exceed 30% of the total supplement, either.
Try to figure out which oil has been adulterated less. A lot of companies use the word “winterized” – this means they’ve taken out the thicker portion of the fish oil (which, like olive oil, tends to separate) to make it last longer, gotten rid of a lot of the omega-3 in the process and, again, messed with the natural structure.
Finally, don’t buy anything with added omega-9 or omega-6. Omega-9 is basically just olive oil, and omega-6 is sort of omega-3′s nemesis. It comes from things like trans fats, and it’s because of the modern diet’s extremely high (think 30:1) omega-6/omega-3 ratio that omega-3 is so important in the first place. You want a ratio of 4:1 at the most, so taking omega-6 just contributes to the problem.
