A pivotal 2023 study found that many fish oil products are rancid before consumed. A multi-year scientific analysis of 72 of the most commonly sold Omega-3 supplements found that 45% of tested fish oil supplements were rancid, with some samples exhibiting levels of oxidation 11 times higher than recommended international voluntary standards. 

Omega-3 fatty acids like EPA and DHA are highly sensitive to heat, light, and oxygen. Without proper purification and protection, fish oil can oxidize during processing, shipping, or storage.

Independent testing has found that a significant percentage of popular omega-3 supplements can spend up to a shocking 18 months on shelves before being purchased and consumed.

Oxidized fish oil not only loses potency failing to deliver the benefits people expect but worst, it can have negative effects with added oxidative stress on the cells, increased inflammatory response and has even been linked to neurodegenerative diseases.

Why Does This Happen?

There are several reasons fish oil supplements often oxidize:

• Long supply chains and poor storage: Fish oil may be processed far from where it's bottled and shipped, with exposure to heat and oxygen along the way.

• Insufficient purification and protection: Many manufacturers don't use advanced purification methods or adequate antioxidant protection to maintain freshness.

• Lack of strict regulatory oversight: Unlike medicines, supplements aren't regulated for potency and freshness-meaning rancid products can legally be sold without independent verification.
