Stop Taking Fish Oil and Use Algae Omega-3s Instead

Most individuals consume fish oil for a source of “healthy fats.” While long-chain omega-3s are helpful, I don’t think we should be getting them from fish oil. Here’s why and how to supplement with omega-3s without taking fish-oil.

Industrial pollutants, such as PCBs and insecticides are commonly found in fish and krill oil supplements. The researchers even suggested the commercial molecular distillation treatment used for removal of toxic contaminants is only effective for [some of] the…contaminants.” They even found the same PCBs and insecticides in supposedly “PCB-free” fish oil.

Instead I recommend taking 250 mg daily of pollutant-free (yeast- or algae-derived) long-chain omega-3’s of EPA/DHA.

If you choose to supplement, make sure to buy a product that is USP or NSF verified for purity and potency so you aren’t buying impure, diluted, or contaminated products. As always, consult with your pharmacist or healthcare provider before taking.

Bruh I just saw a video a doctor saying fish oil better than algae oil. Online advices are confusing

Studies are also showing that the omega 3s effectively fend off the bad elements of fish oil. Algae oil is a sustainable alternative for those who don’t want it sourced from fish though.

Just because somebody says there's a study out there doesn't mean that they're telling the truth. Stop telling us about a study and actually show us the whole entire study not just a little clip of the study.

All fish oils contain heavy metals.. It's impossible to remove them.. Plus the Omega fatty acids that is in fish oil comes from Algae because that is what fish eat.. It makes more sense to consume the actual source of EPA DHA which is in Algae

Amazing, I should stop eating beef then eat the grass instead

How can I find a pollutant free algae supplement, no brand will claim "pollutant" in their products. In my search on line all the algae supplement labels has carrageenan, astaxanthin, corn, tapioca and other fillers...and very low levels of EPA and DHA, which together supposed to be at least 1000mg, so... almost impossible to find a good option....

A functional medicine pharmacist? There is no apprenticeship by that name. Have you added some additional courses to your pharmacist training?

IV seen a lot of videos saying you need 1 gram of omega 3 daily but she is saying 250 mg who do I listen to

[dziadziole]

What about the EPA to DHA ratio between both. EPA is way smaller than in fish oils. Does this even matter?

[GustavoCavichioli]

Guess where algae grows. Yes, in the same water.

[orlandorivera]

Why so much concern don't worry about it

I eat dried seaweed. Watch out though--some have seed oils added to it. Others have that prop 65 warning. Otherwise, dried seaweed is DELICIOUS. A little hard to chew though . .
