Which oil supplement should I choose?

The following products may be suitable for different age groups.

This is a rough guideline only, and some products which state they are not suitable for older children (for example BioCare Linseed Oil 1000) are simply not the ideal product for that age group.

Some other products, which are generally suitable for adults, are contra-indicated for people taking blood-thinning medications, or for diabetics. Products containing GLA may not be suitable for those with epilepsy. Please follow the link to the product page, where you will find further details, and also take the advice of your medical practitioner if in any doubt.

For Cooking, Baking, Stir-Frying and Spreading

NOTE: The less oils are heated, the less they are destroyed, and the better they are for us.

Do not allow any kind of fat or oil to burn or smoke, and do not re-use.  Adding garlic and onions minimises free radical damage.

NEVER heat oils which are high in essential fatty acids (omega 3 and 6) - they can safely be added to food AFTER it has been cooked, e.g. Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil Blend on freshly steamed vegetables or on warm rice.

No. 1 choice:  Coconut Oil Can be heated the most safely
Butter, peanut oil, olive oil Do not allow to burn or smoke

*1  DriCelle(R) is a unique process that locks microscopically small droplets of essential fatty acids into a "micelle", coated first with natural oil of lemon and then with a dry oligosaccharide powder. The DriCelle process provides the means by which large doses of essential nutritional oils can be taken in a palatable form with enhanced absorption and bioavailability.
