Aaron Hartman, MD warns that omega-3 supplements stored in heat can oxidize and trigger reflux. He explains how molecular distillation uses vacuum to lower boiling points, and questions whether standard extraction methods leave unstable oils in supplements.

We had this happen throughout our house where we got some omega 3s in the heat, and it gave my wife really bad reflux. And it was like. It came out, like one of the hot stages of the summer kind of thing. And so when you do omega 3s, you want to make sure they're. How do they. How do they actually get the Omega 3? Are they using, like, a CO2 extraction process? By using molecular distillation, which. Molecular distillation is what H vac guys use to get air out. To get water out of your H vac, they create a vacuum which lowers the boiling point of water. It boils out your H vac, and that's how they get water out of the thing.
