Most omega-3 supplement brands do not tell consumers if the level of oxidation in their products is above safety limits.
See the technical phrasing
Most manufacturers of omega-3 supplements do not disclose whether oxidation levels in their products exceed established safety thresholds.
Omega-3 oils in supplements break down when exposed to air, light, or heat, producing harmful compounds that exceed safe levels, but manufacturers do not test for or report these levels on product labels.
