Tips Memilih Minyak Ikan Terbaik

Ramai yang memang dah tahu kebaikan memakan minyak ikan. Dan produk minyak ikan juga banyak sangat di pasaran. Sekurang-kurangnya kebaikan minyak ikan adalah:

• Fights inflammation[3]

• Boosts cognitive function[4]

• Strengthens and protects the heart[5]

• Supports optimal cholesterol ratios[6]

• Promotes youthful skin and shiny hair[7]

• Supports healthy vision[8]

• Improves mood balance[9]

• Promotes weight loss[10]

Bagaimanapun jika tersilap memilih minyak ikan yang betul dan terbaik boleh menyebabkan kesan:

1. Mercury, lead, cadmium and other heavy metals: Byproducts of industry linked to heart damage, cognitive problems and cancer.[14] [15]

2. PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls): A banned chemical known to cause cancer, skin disorders, liver disorders, reproductive problems and birth defects.[16]

3. DDT: An extremely toxic type of dioxin that the EPA has linked to cancer and birth defects.[17]

4. Pharmaceutical drug residues: Recent EPA study found residues of drugs used to treat high cholesterol, diabetes, depression and more in fish in the United States.[18]
Jadi, bagaimana memilih yang terbaik?

1. Molecularly DistilledPilih minyak yang telah melalui proses yang dipanggil “molecularly distilled”. Proses ini penting dalam usaha untuk menyahkan toksin dan bendasing (contaminants) pada fish oil tu.

2. Wild, Cold-Water FishDari segi kandungan dan ketulenan omega-3, pilihlah ikan daripada laut sejuk dan liar. Kebanyakan fish oil supplements diperbuat daripada ikan yang diternak, diberikan diet yang telah diubah suai seperti corn dan soya, justeru level omega-3 telah menurun disebabkan oleh banyak proses. 

3. Dark Softgel With Added AntioxidantsSoftgel yang berwarna agak gelap akan membantu mengurangkan risiko pendedahan kepada cahaya. 

4. Kandungan fish oil termasuk antioksidan seperti vitamin E, specifically tocotrienols, or CoQ10 to help prevent oxidation.
