This statement is affirmed by Dr Nguyen Huu Duc, Professor at the Ho Chi Minh City Medicine and Pharmacy University when he talked about properties of fish oil extracted from tra catfish (pangasius) and basa catfish (pangasius bocourti) sold on the market. If fish oil capsules extracted from marine fish livers are strictly prescribed by doctors, fish oil in the form of functional food can be used more freely because it retains all valuable natural nutrients of fish fat like Omega-3, Omega-6, Omega-9, EPA, DHA, vitamins and minerals. Ngo Chuan reports.
Could you please tell us how good fish oil is for human health?
Fish oil has been used for long. Previously, it was store in jars and taken by spoon. Now, it is made in the form of capsule. Fish oil is either a medicine or a dietary supplement. There are two types of fish oil: One containing vitamin A and vitamin D and another containing Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. Currently, fish oil made from tra and basa catfish is being used as cooking oil (e.g. Ranee premium fish oil made by Sao Mai An Giang Group). This product is very good for health, especially for the elderly who are advised to use less animal fats such as lard and beef tallow and recommended to use fish oil instead.
What elements in fish oil are disease-curable?
Vitamin A and vitamin D are soluble in fish oil. These two vitamins are necessary for the body. Without enough vitamin A, kids may have their visibility weakened or even blinded. Without sufficient vitamin D, women may suffer osteoporosis. Fatty acids like Omega 3 and Omega 6 function to prevent cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and stroke. According to studies, fatty acid elements help prevent the formation of bad fats, reduce triglyceride and cholesterol and improve heart health. These elements are found in fish oil, which is very healthy and not as harmful as lard and beef tallow.
Would you compare functions of vegetable oil and fish oil to human health?
Vegetable oil is now mainly made from palm oil, sunflower, sesame, peanut and coconut. Compared with animal fats, vegetable oil is better but it is not harmless. Furthermore, some do not adapt to vegetable oil elements because they may cause allergic reactions and even severe anaphylaxis. As we know it, eating fish is healthier than meat, especially fish containing natural fatty acid composition. Thus, cooking oil is extracted from fish fat is of course more beneficial than lard and beef tallow and even better than ordinary vegetable oils.
Do you have any recommendations for the use of supplements like vitamins and unsaturated fatty acids?
Some prefer supplementing nutrition by taking medicines or fish oil capsules as much as possible. This thinking is wrong because using enough for the body, as prescribed by doctors, is the best. Overdose may be counterproductive and even dangerous to health. In my opinion, instead of abusing drugs, nutrient capsules and micronutrients to supplement the body, people should learn to use a variety of foods and natural nutrients because it method is better. Together with eating enough, they can use processed fish oil to supplement Omega-3, Omega-6, Omega-9, EPA, DHA and vitamins. Eating to supplement nutrients ensures sufficient nutrition and creates a healthy habit for any family.
Ranee premium fish oil (including cooking oil and mixing oil) is a unique product of Sao Mai An Giang Group. This is the first fish oil to be used as a foodstuff in the world. By retaining all valuable fats in tra and basa catfish in the Mekong River such as Omega-3, Omega-6, Omega-9, EPA, DHA, vitamins and minerals, the oil is proven to be good to human health by the National Institute of Nutrition and is recommend for daily use.
