Why is it that fish oil without foul smell is good fish oil?
As more and more people begin to eat fish oil, there are more and more fish oil products on the market, but the quality is mixed. Recently, the media reported that the fish oil market, especially deep-sea fish oil, is mixed. Some so-called "deep-sea fish oil" are not all from the deep sea, but are actually local products with low prices, which greatly reduces consumers' trust in fish oil. How can we choose high-quality fish oil from the mixed fish oil products? Professor Luo Haiji of Tomson Bianjian Nutrition and Health Research Center has a brilliant idea: you have to "look at seven instead of one" when choosing fish oil! When it comes to the source of fish oil, most people in China think of Alaska, which is actually a marketing concept developed by merchants from 1998. This is because Alaska is close to the Arctic Ocean, which is relatively cold, and the deep-sea fish produced there are high in DHA and EPA. Once a reporter went to Alaska for an interview. In a city as big as Anchorage, fish oil can't be found, and few locals have heard of deep-sea fish oil. Many products that claim to be imported from abroad are actually produced in China, and labeled as foreign goods. Therefore, when choosing fish oil, we must first look at the source of fish oil raw materials. Fish from pollution-free sea areas have no worries about pollution such as heavy metals and pesticide residues. 2. Whether the contents of effective components "EPA" and "DHA" are up to standard, the key to judge the quality of fish oil is to look at the contents of effective components "EPA" and "DHA" in fish oil. The content of DHA+EPA in standard fish oil is usually around 30%, while that in concentrated fish oil is as high as 50%. The content standard of DHA+EPA in fish oil can be found on the product packaging label, but we must pay attention to whether there is a health food approval on the packaging label (whether there is a "police mobile force"), and the packaging label with "police mobile force" is highly reliable because the approval is approved by the national authority. Third, look at the appearance and smell, choose light yellow fish oil instead of dark yellow fish oil. Light yellow fish oil has a high degree of degreasing and purification, less impurities and crystal clear. Squeeze the capsule shell of fish oil and drop it on the palm of your hand to smell it. High-quality fish oil has a faint fragrance and a little fishy smell. Inferior fish oil has a particularly bad smell and is difficult to swallow. Fourth, look at the quality of raw materials. Fish oil can be divided into natural fish oil and industrial fish oil. Natural fish oil is safe and reliable, but it is expensive. Industrial fish oil is cheaper, but pollutants such as formaldehyde and heavy metals may be introduced in the production process, so the safety is poor. The raw materials of fish oil are divided into three grades: food grade, feed grade and industrial grade. In order to make huge profits, some manufacturers who have no moral bottom line use feed-grade and industrial-grade raw materials and process them into soft capsules for sale as food. Fifth, look at the shell material of the capsule. The shell of high-quality fish oil soft capsule should be made of high-quality bone glue (extracted from bovine bone). In order to reduce the cost of some brands of fish oil, capsule shell chose low-priced leather rubber with excessive heavy metal content, some even used inferior rubber such as reclaimed rubber and blue leather rubber, and some used scraps from leather jackets. The capsule shell made of these raw materials will seriously affect the health of consumers. Sixth, see if the fish oil packaging is transparent. Fish oil is an unsaturated fatty acid, which is easily oxidized and deteriorated under light and high temperature. Therefore, when choosing fish oil, we should choose those products with opaque packaging. Fish oil made of transparent packaging materials, although the contents can be seen from the outside of the packaging, is not shaded, and fish oil is more prone to oxidative deterioration and loss of efficacy under light or high temperature. Don't be greedy and cheap. Don't buy anything below 50 yuan. Considering the raw material cost of fish oil, it is difficult to guarantee the quality of fish oil if it is too low. Fish oil like 8 yuan 100 must be fake, and the raw material is probably inferior salad oil, which smells like fish. Tomson Bianjian fish oil imported from Norway/Iceland is more reassuring. Tomson Bianjian fish oil raw materials are imported from GC Rie Berols, Norway. Gcrie boreols is one of the oldest and leading suppliers of offshore oil raw materials in the world. Its fish comes from the pollution-free sea area recognized by the European Union and is pure triglyceride fish oil. Not only the indicators such as heavy metals and pesticide residues are in strict EU standards, but also the contents of EPA and DHA are higher and more stable. Every batch of fish oil raw materials imported by Tomson Bianjian has entry-exit inspection and quarantine clearance form and health certificate. The finished fish oil passed the inspection by Zhuhai Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Technology Center, and each grain contained DHA 129mg and EPA 182mg. The content of effective components (DHA+EPA) in fish oil is high, exceeding 30%! Tomson Bejian Fish Oil Soft Capsule has obtained the batch number of health food from the State Food and Drug Administration of the United States (approval number: Shi Guojianzi G200704 13), which has the health care function of assisting in lowering blood lipid.
