When buying fish oil, it is imperative that you read labels, check third party certifications and compare gram for gram the type of Omega-3 that is actually in each capsule. Look at the type of fish that is used and ensure that it is small cold water fish that has fed off plankton. Most importantly, check the ratio of EPA and DHA and ensure that it is a 40:20 TG ratio.

The best diet is one that is rich in fish, preferably small in size, at the bottom of the food chain. This will help prevent contamination from mercury, PCB's and other toxins in medium to large fish.
The minimum daily requirement of Omega-3s as recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations ("FAO") is 1.5% of daily caloric needs. For example, if you consume 1,800 kcal per day of food, you should ingest at least 3 grams of Omega-3s. This amount is hard to reach because foods rich in these fats are not very attractive, and not everyone wants or can eat fish every day. If you cannot reach the recommended daily amount of Omega-3s from food, it then becomes crucial to choose an Omega-3 supplement.
According to clinical studies, the fatty acids EPA and DHA provide numerous health benefits.

DHA is important for the brain, eyes and also the heart and is very important in an infant and child’s development.
