Understand one thing clearly, there are many fish oil reviews written by manufacturers. Obviously, none of these reviews will give you a true picture. They will never expose the negative aspects of their oil; instead will always call their mediocre product as superb.

COA is the document that every manufacturer has to publish before his product is launched in the market. This document shows the clear picture of the quality of the oil.

COA talks about the toxicity of the oil i.e. the amount of toxins like mercury, lead, arsenic, etc. present in the oil (These harmful chemicals are present in the oil because of polluted ocean waters). Clearly, if the percentage is quite high, oil is of low quality and should not be used for human consumption. Ingestion of impure oil could lead to many ailments ranging from headache, nausea, upset stomach, diarrhea, etc. to toxin poisoning.

In addition, COA reveals the freshness of oil. This is important for all the products that you put into your mouth. Freshness of oil is a measure of level of oxidation of oil. Consumption of oxidized oil results in rancid odor, fishy burps, and long lasting metallic after taste and increased free radical activity in the body. High quality oil has lower value of TOTOX (Total oxidation) in COA.

Third, authentic fish oil reviews talks about the ratio of DHA to EPA omega3 fats in the oil; the ideal ratio is 2:1. Since, EPA is easy to concentrate; therefore, to increase their profit margins there are many oil manufacturers that promote their oil, which has more of EPA as in comparison to DHA. It is the responsibility of a good fish oil review to make the end consumer aware of these facts.

I am sure that this information in hand you can very understand even the tricky fish oil reviews.
