There's a dizzying array of pills, liquids, foods, and beverages on the market offering the much touted omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. Which, if any, should you use?
To help you decide, CL extensively tested fifty-one products. Many contained as much or more omega-3's than you can get from a serving of fish. However, several products provided only small amounts -- sometimes with misleading labels. And an enteric coated product released ingredient too early. The good news is that every product in this report was found to be free of mercury, PCBs and other contaminants found in fish.
In this expert report, you'll get ConsumerLab.com's test results and comparisons for fifty-one omega-3 products and information about seven others similar to ones that passed tests. In addition to many capsules and liquids, you’ll get results for an omega-3 fortified orange juice, soy milk, bread, yogurt, and nutrition bar. There are even products specially designed for pregnant mothers, kids, and pets. You need to subscribe to get the results and CL's valuable recommendations.
