How to choose Omega 3

Omega-3 fats are essential for your heart and brain health, mood, anti-inflammation, and more. But the wealth of options available vary wildly in price, potency, and quality. So, if you’re spending hundreds of dollars a year on these lipids, you want to make sure you’re making a good choice.

Here are three tips to remember when purchasing omega-3 supplements:
1. Buy dark bottles only: omega-3s are susceptible to light damage
2. Calculate the cost per dose: aim for 1 gram total of EPA + DHA
3. Choose your source wisely: small fish, krill, or algae oil

Man.. even the "triple strength" supplement that he showed is not really triple strength, it is double strength. Because the EPA+DHA amount of the back is written for two servings combined. This is a trick that some manufacturers have been employing lately to cut their costs, but I have yet to see any influencer talk about this.

Just getting into this. Chia & ground flaxseeds. Flax, certified EVOO, avocado oil. Salmon.

Your'e so right about expensive and under dosed. Rancidity issues with capsules.

He did not mention to get them as fatty acids not esters. The prescription version is esters.

Please, which is better, krill oil, Omega 3, combination in same bottle. Thank you.

What do you think about skate liver oil. This is what I take. Curious for your thoughts

[HateDietPepsi]

Best to buy brands with mixed tocopherols or natural vitamin E added because fish oil oxidizes and store in refrigerator.

[benkimball]

Just eat canned sardines, herring or mackerel a few times weekly. Get the protein and added nutrients for less money.

That about metals? I was using algae that was tested for mercury PCB, etc

[sanyammittal]

can you suggest some algae rich omega 3 supplement company names? because I am not able to find which has proper EPA and DHA

[Anonymous]

Can you take algae supplements for lifetime? Or are they harmful cause of metals?

[jamesjirik]

Honestly, if you go from taking Nothing to taking something obviously good quality, I think that’s good enough I get the Nordic naturals it says take to take one. Sometimes I take two or three in a day with a meal I just make sure to have with some fat.

Heart and chest pains from my last fish oil brand, unfortunately...
I've been a huge consumer of fishoil for the last 10 years and I've always done high doses to hit 1g of each EPA/DHA.

[jejomardalisan]

which brand do you recommend then sir?

[manssupar]

So blackmores is good supplement? They use small fish and dark bottle

[dazone]

Get fish oil that's IFOS certified and tested

[winniekhongkp]
