Why Quality Matters:
High-quality fish oil ensures potency, purity, and safety—crucial for health benefits like cardiovascular and cognitive support. Low-quality products often contain oxidized oils or heavy metals.
Key Quality Indicators:
1. EPA/DHA Content & Ratio
• Look for at least 500mg EPA + DHA per serving.
• Imbalanced ratios (e.g., too much DHA) < may dilute therapeutic effects—aim for high EPA blends, like EBI’s 6.5:1 EPA:DHA per capsule.
2. Purity & Heavy Metal Testing
• Must be third-party tested for toxins like mercury, PCB, and dioxins—even wild fish may accumulate them.
• Choose products with CO₂ extraction, the cleanest process for removing impurities.
3. Freshness & Oxidation Status
• Check for oxidation markers (peroxide and anisidine values). Low values indicate fresh, unspoiled oil.
4. Manufacturing Standards
• Should be produced in a GMP-certified facility.
• Look for Health Canada NPN approval—like EBI’s 80015507—as a quality indication.
5. Form & Bioavailability
• Triglyceride or re-esterified TG forms offer better absorption than ethyl esters.
• Easy-to-swallow capsules improve adherence.
How EBI Fish Oil Measures Up
• High EPA:DHA ratio (520mg EPA + 80mg DHA)
• Supercritical CO₂ extraction protects oil integrity
• GMP facility + Health Canada approval
• Third-party testing ensures cleanliness and freshness
