WHY DO MOST OMEGA-3 SUPPLEMENTS OXIDIZE - AND WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Omega-3 supplements oxidize mainly through contact with Oxygen, light and heatwhich breaks down the healthy fatty acids and reduces the quality of the product. To prevent oxidation, you should Keep omega-3 preparations cool, dark and airtight store and wait for a low TOTOX value as a sign of freshness and quality.
What you can do
- Oxidation can be prevented by switching to a low TOTOX valuethe addition of POLIFENOL and Vitamin E as an antioxidant and dark, cool storage.
- Cooling: Store your omega-3 supplements in a cool place, for example in the refrigerator, to slow down oxidation.
- Light protection: Store the preparations in the original, opaque packaging.
- Close tightly: Make sure that the containers or capsules are tightly closed to minimize contact with oxygen.
- Observe the TOTOX value: When buying, look for the lowest possible TOTOX value (Total Oxidation Value). A value below 6 is a good sign of high freshness and quality.
- Check MHD: Observe the best-before date and consume the preparations as soon as possible after opening.
The scientific truth behind it:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23738326/ Omega-3 supplements oxidize (become rancid) because the sensitive fatty acids undergo chemical reactions in the presence of air, light and heat, forming unhealthy free radicals and losing their effect. Oxidation can be prevented by keeping the oil at a low TOTOX value (< 26), the addition of Vitamin E as an antioxidant and dark, cool storage.
