If you’ve been taking omega 3 fish oil capsules for a while you may have come across “super” omega 3. Of course it’s a little difficult to say exactly what “super” omega 3 really is and how it differs from ordinary omega 3, or why it’s better than “regular” fish oil supplements. So it’s not 100 percent clear what you should be getting when you buy the “super” capsules.

Part of the reason is that there are big variations in the quantity and quality of the Omega 3 fatty acids found in many of the fish oil capsules available for sale, and it’s important that you learn a little bit about Omega 3 capsules before you buy.

One of the biggest variations between the fish oil supplements available is the amount of active ingredient found in them. Most fish oil capsules are what is known as 18/12 capsules. This means that you should be getting 18 percent EPA and 12 percent DHA in each capsule, or 180 milligrams of EPA and 120 milligrams of DHA in a 1000 milligram capsule.

DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is considered to be the most important omega 3 fatty acid. To give you an example of how much the quantities of the Omega3 fats vary from brand to brand, the quantity of DHA in the capsules that I take is 2 1/2 times greater than in your average 18/12 capsules, but the ones that I take are not described as “super” omega 3.

You could assume that any omega 3 supplements described as super Omega 3 supplements would contain a much higher percentage of DHA (and EPA) than regular capsules and this is the case for these capsules even though they are not described as “super”.

But when you’re buying you need to consider a little more than just how much active ingredients you are getting in each of the various fish oil capsules available. Manufacturers are now starting to produce a new generation of omega 3 supplements that include a range of other ingredients which offer health benefits on top of the health benefits offered by the fatty acids.

A good example is a new “premium” Omega 3 capsule released this week. These capsules contain 28 percent DHA, as previously mentioned around 2 1/2 times as much as regular capsules, however on top of this they are also include some other active ingredients that will also benefit your health. Not only will these extra active ingredients benefit your health but also your skin.

A good example is something found in tomatoes called lycopene. If you read the health literature you may know about lycopene already. There is growing evidence that increasing the intake of lycopene can reduce the risk of breast cancer for women and prostate cancer for men.

On top of that there is new research that shows that more lycopene can naturally protect our skin from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation from sunlight. UV exposure, over time, can seriously age your skin, and this is what is known as photo-aging. Protecting your skin from photo-aging is one of the best things you can do for the health of your skin. Not only that but the research is showing that lycopene can actually start to reverse some of the effects of photo-aging.

Modern scientists are studying all sorts of naturally occurring substances from such sources as plants and are discovering the health giving properties of these types of substances. And the best cutting edge companies are following this science and are producing products for us to help improve our health as well as our looks.

If you’re in the market for some Omega 3 capsules you need to understand a little about what you are getting when you buy. Price is not the only determinant, because it’s important to understand how much active ingredient (DHA) you’re getting in each capsule, and you also need to consider whether buying the new generation of omega 3 supplements now coming onto the market would be of benefit to you because of the extra ingredients now incorporated in these products, and their health benefits.
