Fish Oil Supplements ar Rancid at Body Temperature

Did you know that fish oil supplements are rancid at body temperature?

That’s right. According to Prof. Brian S. Peskin, fish oil oxidizes easily, becoming rancid, and that consuming such oxidized oils may be harmful rather than beneficial. Fish oil contains an abundant amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids, like EPA and DHA. When oxidized, these oils produce lipid peroxides, aldehydes, and other reactive by-products.

Consuming rancid, oxidized oils may lead to:

Increased Oxidative Stress can damage DNA, proteins, and cell membranes and is associated with chronic inflammation, aging, and diseases like cancer, atherosclerosis, and neurodegeneration.

Ironically, fish oil is often promoted as anti-inflammatory, but oxidized fish oil has the opposite effect and promotes inflammation.

Studies show that lipid peroxides can cause damage to the liver, kidneys, and heart.

Gastrointestinal Symptoms include: Nausea, bloating, and diarrhea especially if the oil is heavily oxidized.

Some research suggests that oxidized lipids can contribute to plaque formation in arteries.

Oxidized oils may impair the function of immune cells, making you more vulnerable to infections or chronic diseases.

Supporting Evidence

Multiple peer-reviewed studies confirm that oxidized oils are harmful in animal models.

Fish oils oxidize rapidly, when exposed to: Heat (e.g., body temperature), Light. Oxygen

Independent tests have found that some commercial fish oil supplements are already oxidized before consumption, especially cheaper or improperly stored products.

What You Can Do:

I strongly recommend taking Prof. Peskin’s specially formulated plant based oils. His formulation consists of an 11:1 ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 oils derived from flax oil, extra virgin coconut oil, pumpkin seed oil, and evening primrose oil.

Prof. Peskin's warnings about fish oil oxidizing at body temperature aren't unfounded. The dangers of ingesting rancid oils are real and supported by mainstream science. Peskin’s formula has been documented to dissolve plaque from coronary blood vessels and repair cell membranes. Prof. Peskin’s specially formulated omega 6/omega 3 oil is available from ICNR; Call Rebecca at (800) 272.2323.
