Q: I WAS told by my friend about the health benefits of supplementing with fish oil. As there are quite a number of fish oil supplements available in the market, how do I choose a good one?

A: A GOOD fish oil supplement should contain at least 18 per cent eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and 12 per cent docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Should you wish for a higher strength fish oil, pick a concentrated one with 330mg EPA and 220mg DHA in each 1,000mg vegetable capsule.
