> What forms of omega 3 fatty acids are found in dietary supplements?

> In supplemental form, omega 3 fatty acids are available as softgels

(like a vitamin E capsule) or as bottled liquids. Flaxseed oil, a rich

source of alpha-linolenic acid, and cod liver oil, a rich source of

EPA and DHA, are among the most popular omega 3 supplements.

Choose a certified organic product that has been refrigerated and is

packaged in a dark brown or green glass jar and be sure to store the

product in your refrigerator or freezer.

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, which is added to the oil to

prevent the fatty acids from becoming oxidized (or rancid).
