As a functional nutritionist to professional athletes and sick people, I am a biochemistry geek. You are the first MD I have seen who umderstands micronutrients. Wonderful!

I started taking fish oil 6 months ago and after 3 months i was pain free. I have psoriatic arthritis in my feet. well no more pain for me. it's been a miracle. thanks for the good video.

Do not take more than 2000mg of dha and epa a day because it will thin the blood too much.
I like this dr because he does not threaten us with illness. He gives us hope, talking about the health benefits. This will lift up our mood, mind, give us hope and joy. If doctors talk about illness, it will make us sicker because what we focus on will increase, will manifest. I feel safe listening to this dr. He knows a lot. Is he MD?

Thank you for this short and useful oberview 👍

[nallano]

I believe Dr. Sung more than I believe in some of these clinical studies against fish oil.

[Bhatmann]

I took EPA/DHA for almost a year and a slight decrease in my omega 3 to 6 ratio resulted. So I gave up. I’d like to return to eating sardines, mackerel and try adding salmon eggs.
But thanks for covering this matter.

Fish oil is good for your brain, its good for your blood lipids, keeps everything moving along nicely, fish oil is wonderful stuff. I use the red Krill oil, oil from north fish oil is the best, Salmon, Krill .

Whenever I take 2000mg of fish oil I get terrible anxiety until I stop taking them.

I read somewhere that fish oil high in EPA can increase symptoms of anxiety and depression in some individuals.

Thanks Dr Sung for your great videos. I really appreciate your great videos-short, simple and informative explanations.

[mikejohnson]

Dr Sung...very nice breakdown of this topic. I will definitely pass this on.

[jasonwilcox]

Thank you so much for clearing things up. Great video. Easy to understand.

[non-applicable.]

Why kill a fish and exctract its fat when you can go directly to the source - algae? The doc specifically made it a point to open the video with the statement that fish don't make those omega 3 fats. 🌿🌱

[janetmarsden]

Thank you Doctor. You explain things so well.

[PretENDOgolf]

I've studied fish oils, omega fatty acids for well over 20 years. I'll be chiming in on this. Great topic that is very misunderstood, medical and publicly.

[herbbowler]

When i find a physician that has some nutritional knowledge. I will consider their advice.

[apocalypse]

Superb video brother!
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Peace and blessings 🙏

[borodinskyful]

taking fish oil led to me suffering with heart burn a year down the road... sans fish oil, sans heart burn. I stick to just eating fish a few times a week now. Tastes good too

[angeloselarja]

Sardines/anchovies are the way to go. Supplements gave me arrythmias and I was using a top brand (Nordic Naturals).

[opolcenik]

Thanks for this video Dr.Sung great information

[dan.devilbrand]

Would have loved to hear the recommended dosage for Krill oil, since EPA/DHA are much lower dosed, but with higher bioavailability.
