오메가3 영양제 상세페이지, 이 5가지를 확인하지 않으면 손해, 디시 추천

[YakAl's 3-Line Summary💊]

If you choose omega-3 by looking only at price or brand, half your choice will be wrong.
EPA+DHA content, form (rTGÂ·TGÂ·EE), and ingredient manufacturer certificationâ you need to consider 5 criteria together .
If you read just this one article, you'll develop an eye for reading omega-3 product detail pages like a pharmacist.

I sometimes get this question:.

"Aiden, how do you evaluate omega-3??"

Honestly, when I get this question, I pause for a moment.

To properly evaluate one product, I dig through papers, verify ingredient manufacturer certifications, and if that's still not enough, I even call the seller directly.

Once a customer service representative even said to me: "Are you... investigating us?"?" 😅

That's how thoroughly the pharmacists at YakAl search for information that consumers find difficult to verify on their own!

Today, I'm going to reveal all those criteria.

Omega-3 Selection Standards: YakAl Looks at These 5 Things

YakAl's omega-3 evaluation is divided into five categories.

We've pulled back the curtain hidden behind marketing claims and focused on what actual consumers want to know.

Evaluation Item	What to Check
Active Ingredients	EPA+DHA content, whether functional criteria are met, ratio
Price	Price efficiency per 1mg of EPA+DHA
Brand	Ingredient manufacturer credibility, international certifications, whether there's research backing
Quality	Extraction method, form (rTG/TG/EE), purity, packaging method
Inactive Ingredients	Capsule material, additive composition, allergen status

Active Ingredients â Is EPA+DHA Really Sufficient??

Omega-3 contains two key components:. EPA and DHA.

EPA helps reduce triglycerides in blood vessels,while DHA is a component that affects brain and eye health.

In other words, the two components have different roles.

So "for memory improvement,"omega-3 should have a higher DHA ratio, and, "if the goal is improving blood triglycerides,"EPA content is important.

The points to look at differ depending on the product and its purpose.

Whenever I see just one phrase like "helps improve memory" on a product detail page, I stop right there.

"and think "What paper is this based on?" Then I find and verify the paper myself.

Analyzing just one can take three to four hours.

Price â Expensive Doesn't Mean Good, and Cheap Doesn't Mean Bad

There's a common mistake when looking at omega-3 prices:. comparing only the price per bottle.

For example, even if one pill is labeled as 1,000mg,, there are many cases where it actually contains only 500mg of EPA+DHA.

the rest is other oil components that aren't omega-3.

It's like buying a pizza where the crust is thick but there's barely any cheese, right? Omega-3 is the same.

That's why YakAl compares based on the price per 1mg of EPA+DHA.

That's the only way to know the real value for money!

Brand and Ingredient â The Seller's Certification Might Not Actually Be Theirs

The company that sells omega-3 (the seller))and the company that makes the omega-3 ingredient (the ingredient manufacturer))are different.

But in ads, it's often expressed as if the seller received the certification directly.

In reality, they're just using the international certifications like IFOS and GOED that the ingredient manufacturer received.

IFOS is a certification where a professional organization tests omega-3 for freshness and heavy metal contamination and gives it a rating.

It's like a 'KC certification mark' on toysâa trust mark showing that experts have verified it.

It's important to distinguish whether these certifications belong to the seller or the ingredient manufacturer.

If you want to understand why this distinction matters and grasp the structure of ingredient manufacturers, manufacturers, and sellers in supplements from the beginning,,

Quality â How It's Extracted Determines Its Absorption Rate

Omega-3 comes in 3 forms:.

Form	Characteristics
TG (Natural Form))	As it occurs in nature, good absorption but low content
EE (Concentrated Form))	High content but poor absorption in the body
rTG (Re-esterified Form))	An upgraded version with both high content and good absorption ⭐️

The extraction method is also important:.

Supercritical extraction is a method of extracting omega-3 at low temperatures.

Omega-3 is sensitive to heat, so high-temperature processing damages nutrients.

Just as boiling orange juice changes its taste, omega-3's quality changes depending on the extraction method.

Check the packaging method too. When omega-3 meets air, it oxidizesâit begins to go rancid.

like how a cut apple turns brown.

Individual packaging (PTP)) products have an advantage over bottle packaging in preventing rancidity.

Inactive Ingredients â Vitamin E Is Fine, but Unidentified Components Are a Drawback

Capsule material is also an important evaluation criterion.

After all, there are many vegan consumers and people with allergies these days?

Some people think plant-based capsules are unconditionally better, but they have pros and cons.

Animal-based gelatin capsules are sometimes better at preventing omega-3 rancidity .

Rather than a simple answer about which capsule is better, it's important to choose based on your situation.

Also check the secondary ingredients. Components that play an antioxidant role, like vitamin E, are positive.

But if there are many additives unrelated to function or if components are unclear, it's a drawback.

Like omega-3, vitamins are supplements where you need to carefully consider form, origin, and absorption rate,.

Good Omega-3 Recommendations: Make Sure to Check These

Before choosing omega-3, ask yourself five questions:.

EPA+DHA content âDoes it meet the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety's functional criteria?
Price per 1mg âIs it reasonable compared to other products?
Ingredient manufacturer âHas it received international certifications like IFOS and GOED?
Extraction method, form (rTG/TG/EE), purity âCan they be verified?
Capsule material and additives âAre they simple and non-unnecessary?

We've already made the calls, found the papers, and analyzed everything for you 😉

Closing: Even Pharmacists Don't Know Everything

Just because someone is a pharmacist doesn't mean they know all supplements deeply.

Supplements are an area with much to learn if you don't study.

That's why YakAl assigns a dedicated pharmacist for each supplement category.

I, Aiden, specialize only in omega-3.

Gwak Cheol-yi handles vitamin C and vitamin E, while YAYA covers probiotics and protein.

We believe that honest and accurate evaluation is only possible when each person digs deep into their own specialty.

Probiotics, like omega-3, are supplements where you need to consider strain origin and research backing.
