At this point in time I am changing our reccomendations on Omega-3 fatty acid supplements. The two I recommend are Carlsons and Nordic Naturals. This list will probably be added to in the future but there is some debate over the process of ethylation to form ethyl esters in many forms of omegsa 3 supplements. This allows higher concentrations of EPA and DHA but there are questions about oxidative side effects. Unfortunatly, most studies have been done with esther forms. Carlsons and Nordic Naturals are both trigyclide formualations with other protective components and I feel comfortable with these and they are more of a natural state product. Dietary changes are still the most desirable way to achieve the same effect; reducing omega 6 and increasing omega 3  rich foods in your diet.
