If I were to buy some, the ones that I would choose because of the low total oxidation and the high concentration of either EPA or DHA.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
Omega-3 uh the marine omega-3 fatty acids. So these are found in marine types of uh you know animals, fish, cold water fish, fatty fish. Uh so so there's a there's three fatty acids. There's ALA, EPA, and DHA. If you get a high quality one, it's in a triglyceride form.
Triglyceride form > ethyl ester form 2) Low oxidation status (you can use websites like IFOS to check) 3) A high concentration of EPA & DHA
You want low oxidation, higher concentration, and, ideally, triglyceride form.
I would look for their topped rated brands.
most fish oil supplements on the market contain the omega-3 fatty acids in their ethyl ester form which is unfortunate because that's less bioavailable than the omega-3 fatty acids found in triglyceride form
I would say the most important thing is concentration of EPA and DHA, triglyceride form, and then perhaps the oxidation status.
