There are many reasons why an informed person would buy fish oil. In my own own case, it was due to research into the subject of colon cancer. What may I ask is your reason? Your reason may be due to a specific illness or health condition or as an insurance and preventative for your own future and those of your children, including your unborn offspring. The health benefits of fish oil are many and varied and such are discussed in detail at the following web site:

The very best omega 3 fish oil….and a whole lot more!
Go ahead and take a good look! It will be time well spent.
When you eventually choose to buy omega 3 fish oil capsules, it is imperative that your chosen product is both DHA fatty acid rich and is molecularly distilled. Now can I ask you a question, do you honestly think that fish oil products found in a cheap skate store is going to be of the purest form?
Indeed, even expensive fish oil products found in specialized up market stores, even if reasonably purified, will more than likely be EPA rich rather than DHA concentrated. While EPA fatty acid is a powerful anti inflammatory, medical researchers are coming to understand that DHA should be in the dominant amounts found in your fish oil supplement. Indeed, over 60% of your brain is made up of this DHA fatty acid.
While it is true that your body will convert EPA fish oil into a DHA form, such a conversion will use your body’s resources and will yield only a smaller percentage of the brain food, that we call DHA.
Do you know why many mothers are depressed after child birth? Probably the unborn child took all of its mothers DHA supply. DHA is very important to an unborn child! Remember it is brain food, the real stuff which makes up the brain. But a deficiency of this fat can lead to depression, especially in women who are young mothers.
Common sense dictates that a pregnant woman taking fish oil both for herself and her unborn child must obtain the purest pharmaceutical grade fish oil which exist in the market place. Hence the type of fish oil you buy is very very important.
New Zealand is blessed with pristine waters containing fatty fish with low levels of impurities. What I personally recommend not only comes from such crystal waters, but the actual omega 3 fatty acids have been purified beyond the requirements of international standards!
If you are the kind of person who is concerned about the quality of your drinking water and the water you cook and shower in, then your concerns over the filtration of fish oil, must be all the more higher, due to the toxic levels, which exist in the oceans of the world, of the contaminant mercury, which is found in high concentration in the fish supply of such waters.
If you also decide to supplement instead of eating toxified fatty fish, then price must not be your main criteria. Forget any supermarket saving mentality, pure fish oils can only come at a price, but it is a price worth paying when considering the benefits and the avoidance of mercury.
Also of concern is the food fed to farmed fish and its future effects upon human health. But despite the extra cost involved for molecular distillation, New Zealand omega 3 oil is not the most expensive DHA fish oil on the market, but it certainly is the best for your health and well being.
You can buy fish oil of this quality for less than $20 a month.
