I get asked a lot about ocean pollution and how it affects nutrition products. Should you be worried?

Maybe.

Let me start by saying that by pollution, most people mean PCBs and heavy metals. It’s already bad that you have to avoid fish products because of possible mercury poisoning. But now supplements as well? Well you shouldn’t worry. I’m going to show you the exact qualities to look for in all your food products to make sure you can stay as safe as possible.

To avoid these, you need a supplement that goes through a triple phase molecular distillation purification process for maximum purity.

You want to be sure the oils of any product are distilled in a controlled, pristine vacuum environment which insures contaminant removal above and beyond traditional purification methods.

Your supplement must also surpass all national and international standards for environmental pollutants. This means dioxins, PCB’s, pesticides and heavy metals - and of course mercury.

Some might think this is overkill. So is it best to ignore those people and remain worried about contaminents?

Yes.

A Canadian study showed samples of analyzed commercial fish oil had detectable amounts of PCBs and pesticides.

Notice the study was about “commercial grade fish oil.”

This same grade is found in drugstores, your local grocery or health store, and anywhere you shop. It’s cheap and can be bad for your health. I used to buy all my supplements where I’d find myself shopping anyway - but now I’m more cautious. The risk is too substantial.

Contrast this with pharmaceutical grade fish oil which may have many health benefits:

1. Vascular health increased.

2. Lowered risk of cardiovascular disease.

3. Reduced symptoms of rhuematoid arthritis.

4. Thinning of the blood.

Normal old fish oil can’t possibly compare. Not with the amount of pollution these days.

So only stick to pharmaceutical grade fish oil - that’s what I do every day.
