A molecular pharmacologist/toxicologist with the University of Adelaide, Ian Musgrave, said of particular concern was the high oxidation levels found in some of the supplements. While getting a lower dose of omega-3 than expected probably wasn’t harmful, the by-products of oxidation could be, Musgrave said.
“That triggers a health issue,” he said. “It’s not that they’re just a little bit over the recommended levels – some are substantially over international guidelines. An excess of a breakdown product in a supplement is considered a contamination, and that could be a problem for the Therapeutic Goods Administration
