If I eat a lot of fish, I don't need a fish oil supplement, right?
Getting your omega-3 nutrients from fatty fish like salmon, sardines, anchovies, tuna and small mackerel is always the best way to go. But if you’re like 85% of the American population you’re going to need some help in the omega-3 department.
The FDA’s recommendation of two fish meals per week provides significantly less omega-3 than the doses used in major research studies. The reason the FDA doesn’t recommend eating fish five or six times a week like the Inuits in Greenland is the pollution factor. It is a balancing act between getting enough omega-3 to obtain the heart benefits vs. eating unsafe levels of mercury or PCBs (which are filtered out of Omega Cure). There are also two other big variables to keep in mind: only oily, cold water fish like salmon, trout and tuna contain enough omega-3 to write home about. Common “grocery store fish” like tilapia, catfish or sole don’t really qualify. Moreover, how you prepare your fish will influence the quality and quantity of the omega-3s.
In other words, using a supplement like Omega Cure is the best way to be sure you get the omega-3 you need.
