“As a preventive cardiologist and lipid specialist I am often asked by my patients for advice on choosing the ideal omega-3 fish oil. Researching this question led me to recognize a vast void in fish oil supplements. Not one contained enough DHA + EPA to satisfy the American Heart Association’s recommendations in a single soft gel.

And so I formulated VitalOils1000. Through ultra-high purification, VitalOils1000 offers people a full 1,000 mg of DHA + EPA in a single enteric coated soft gel. Doctors know that one pill a day is always better than four, three, or even two. I hope you enjoy taking VitalOils1000 as much I enjoyed developing it.”

Wishing you the best of health and happiness,

1. The more DHA+EPA per single soft gel, the better. DHA+EPA are the two health-promoting omega-3s in fish oils. Look at the Supplement Facts and add them together. The more per soft gel, the purer the product. Also, the fewer pills you have to take, the more likely you are to take them.
2. Ensure that molecular distillation has been performed in the purification process. This procedure removes impurities such as mercury, lead, arsenic, PCBs, Dioxins, and Furans.
3. Favor DHA in your product. Healthful fish typically have DHA: EPA ratios of 2 or 3 to 1 and human beings have DHA: EPA ratios of even 6:1 so our supplements should reflect what nature has intended, higher DHA than EPA levels. DHA is also much harder for the body to produce than EPA.
4. Ensure GMP compliance.
5. Make sure DHA and EPA combined represents a high percentage of the Total Fatty Acids: > 90% is optimal.
6. Purchase enteric coated soft gels to eliminate the common and uncomfortable side effect of the fishy aftertaste that typically accompanies uncoated soft gels.
7. Check for optimal antioxidants to protect your high quality oils. Small quantities of rosemary and vitamin C added to your fish oils have been shown to be superior to vitamin E to protect oils from oxidation and rancidity.
8. Use soft gels, not liquids. Liquid fish oils can be more prone to oxidation as they come in contact with oxygen on a daily basis when the bottle is opened.
9. If you have heart disease and want to comply with American Heart Association’s recommendations, read the supplement facts to be sure you are getting the daily dose of 1,000 mg of combined EPA and DHA that they recommend.
10. Weigh price against quality – Get the best quality you can. Remember, you are what you eat, and the reason you have chosen to consume a fish oil supplement is to optimize your health. You are worth it.
