OMEGA-3s WITHOUT FISH



Enough about fish -can you just take a pill ? Yes ,but buyer,beware .Fish oil capsules are an efficient way to get seafood's crucial omega-3s ,known as DHA and EPA,and tests have shown that they are typically free of mercury ."Taking one standard fish oil supplement  triples the typical intake of omega-3s,"says US scientist William  Harris,an authority on fish oil .But other sorts of omega-3 supplements  won't do the same job .Flax oil pills ,for instance ,contain a different omega-3 fatty acid , ALA ,which isn't as effective .Don't rely too heavily on foods with added  omega-3s either.Experts say it takes about 170 mg of DHA and EPA a week to start to see benefits (doctors may suggest larger amount for patients with heart diseases or other ills),and foods with an omega booster won't get an omega booster won't get you close.The independent testing system group consumer-lab.com,for instance found that Tropicana Pure Premium Healthy Heart with omega Omega-3 Orange juice contains just 50 mg of DHA and EPA per serving .Two slices of bread fortified with omega-3 give 90mg ,Even omega-3- fortified eggs contain only 150 mg each,say experts .
