Seed oils provide high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, such as alpha-linoleic acid (ALA), or omega-6 fatty acids, such as gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and linoleic acid (LA). These healthful oils may be useful in treating specific conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and recurrent breast pain.
ConsumerLab.com's testing found two products to contain somewhat less than the claimed amounts of certain fatty acids. But twenty other products passed the testing — containing the expected fatty acids and lacking chemicals that would indicate spoilage. These findings are an improvement over results from 2002 and 2005 when, respectively, six and four products failed testing.
In this Review, you'll get ConsumerLab's test results and comparisons for 22 different supplements (including two specifically for pets) to help guide you in your product selection.
