Some questions have recently been addressed in regard to consuming fish oil and vitamin E depletion as a result. These concerns were brought out when researchers at Tuffs University in Boston reported that those who participated in their study showed reduced levels of vitamin E in their systems after consuming large doses of the oil from fish for several months.
Since this oil is rich in omega3 fatty acids so crucial to a healthy body, making fish oil and vitamin E equally vital nutrients, we must pursue a way to ensure we have adequate amounts of both. So let's take a closer look at the cause and the solution.
Vitamin Fish Oil
Part of the problem is the fact that oxidation of this oil pulls from the body's vitamin E reserves to help compensate for the oxidation. One way to solve this dilemma is to take a fish oil capsule that has antioxidants added as well as vitamin E included in the supplement. Another possibility would be to take a separate supplement of vitamin E to be sure you are taking in proper amounts. Look for the chemical name alpha-tocopherol to identify the natural form.
Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant in our bodies, which protects cells from damage- causing free radicals. These destructive compounds come from ultraviolet light from the sun, cigarette smoke, and air pollution, just to name a few. We also need this nutrient as a boost to our immune system to combat bacteria and viruses. Some natural sources of this vitamin include wheat germ, safflower oil, almonds, and sunflower seeds. When looking for it in the form of a supplement, try to always get the natural form rather than a synthetic type.
When it comes to fish oil, freshness is of extreme importance. The manufacturer should provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) along with the product revealing to you, the consumer, the total oxidation value, which should be as low as possible for optimum freshness. This analysis also shows levels of heavy metals and other possible pollutants detected. Another sign of an excellent product is that there should be no rancid odor if you cut open a capsule and smell it. If burping occurs after swallowing a supplement, this could be a sign of possible rancidity.
This oil is rich in the essential fatty acid EPA that the heart requires to maintain proper circulation. It stabilizes heart rhythm, decreases artery-clogging triglycerides, and can help in lowering blood pressure.
The essential fatty acid DHA is also in fish oil and is necessary for proper brain function. The brain needs adequate levels of DHA to rebuild and maintain cells, and some studies have shown that memory and ability to focus were highly improved by taking omega3 fish oil.
In conclusion, the most healthful solution to the original problem is to find a supplement that includes both a superior quality oil and vitamin E together along with other natural antioxidants to meet the needs of our body without losing other nutrients in the process.
I'm a firm believer in taking the best supplements I can find. I take a supplement that contains fish oil and vitamin E, plus added antioxidants to provide me with the protection I need to keep my body going strong.

For optimal benefit, fish oil must be incorporated into cell membranes. As demonstrated in a human clinical trial, Wholemega has been shown to incorporate into peripheral blood mononuclear cells--allowing the fish oil to provide its beneficial effects.
Additionally, Wholemega has been shown (see chart) to down-regulate inflammatory arachidonic acid (AA), significantly improving the balance of inflammatory AA to anti-inflammatory eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).* Also, preliminary data shows Wholemega may down-regulate inflammatory markers, such as LDL ("bad") cholesterol and C-Reactive Protein.*
A human clinical study (see chart) demonstrates the change of essential fatty acid content (EPA & DHA) in cell membranes (PBMC) after consuming Wholemega:
Wholemega, however, delivers oil that is striking in its color and transparency. The brilliant hue in Wholemega comes from Astaxanthin--an antioxidant that is naturally found in wild salmon.
 Wholemega Fish Oil | New Chapter’s gentle extraction process delivers a brilliant hue and preserves beneficial compounds. |  "Purified" Fish Oil | Dull, yellow hue caused by chemical processing removes many beneficial compounds. |
By using only sustainably caught Alaskan salmon--among the world's cleanest and most pure fish stocks--an extra-virgin, low-heat process is all that's required to produce Wholemega. This process preserves the natural color, clarity, and viscosity of the salmon oil, as well as numerous other beneficial compounds, including natural Vitamin D.
In fact, the oil in Wholemega is so pure and untainted that it's delivered from a food-grade, government-inspected facility. To ensure absolute quality, Wholemega oil is extensively tested for detectable contaminants.
