Great 👍 ✅✅
While doing Olympic distance Tri at age 34, training ,,swim bike , swim run alternate days for 10 years till 44. I took omega 3 fish oils , because I felt it did more good than glucosamine,,plus a multivitamin & minerals , protein and collagen,every day , , for ,, joint care 🤒,,, and continued still training, HIIT, etc and supplementing till now age 58 . I haven’t aged much ,, feel just as I did age 35 .I have always felt this combination improved my mind as well as my body . Joints are still working fine too 😊
I took it all incl. Omega 3.... But running 15k often and doing crossfit ruined my knees
@david Thats amazing! Which brand or brands have you taken that you would recommend? Or, what do you look for when choosing a brand? Thanks in advance.
I never had problems with my knees until I hit age 75.
Brilliant 👏🏻
Great conent
Dr Rhonda Patrick, have you looked into C15? I would love your input on its health and longevity benefits
Thanks for sharing such useful information. I somewhat knew magnesium, vitamin d and omega 3 were important for optimum health, but this makes me realize how important. Now I'm going to make sure I get adequate amounts every day.
Also, thanks for your research on sauna use and health, as well as high intensity exersise
Dr Rhonda, any concerns with Omega 3’s for those who have afib?
As important is the positive effect of omega 3s on the gut microbiome, immune system, modulation of inflammation, sensitizing muscle cells to dietary protein.
What?
"It is important because of the positive...." There. Fixed it.
Totally agree✅

As human hubris goes, have we also ruined fish omega 3 to omega 6 ratios by farm raising fish? Are wild animals, or even grass and freerange chicken and cattle, bison etc, better healthwise than farm raised animals?
Are the algae EPA/DHA sources as potent/effective as fish sources?
Is the increased life expectancy causation or association?
What about dpa?
Too easy~ but some things are fishy here and I like it! Dare I share...a few or a couple of quality eggs, sardines, and a dollop of g00d salsa. Sharing is caring~
A biochemist once mentioned that omega 3 fatty acids are highly unstable and will oxidise at the drop of a hat. If you take a supplement that's a lot of highly unstable fat that will turn rancid in the absence of lipid soluble antioxidants. Eating seafood will digest slowly and so the fish oils are released into the blood stream at a rate less likely to overwhelm circulating antioxidants. Then there is lipid peroxidation occurring while the oil is in storage from ambient light and heat. I think I read about Krill oil that has astaxanthin? a red pigment that is also an antioxidant in krill oil and so it may be less likely to produce reactive oxygen species.
I'm not convinced Omg-3 sourced from fish offsets neurotoxicity that is caused by Mercury. It really depends on the amount of mercury in each individiual fish that's consumed.
Omega 3 supplementation made my ldl go SO high.
No one ever factors in biochemical individuality. DHA can be bad for some people because it can affect their lipid levels in a negative way. Pure EPA is much better because DHA can be synthesized from it. Test don’t guess.
Get DHA/EPA from algae oil.
Insane. The key is to find good omega 3 pills with good/high content of Epa/DHA
💯
The best Omega you can find are from a Scandinavian company. They have 4 teams from Premier League on their product. A test before and after 4 month on the product, 95 % are in balance🙌🏻💯. 1,3 million test so they have the worlds biggest blood bank✅ And world athletes all the world are using it.
The audio is not synced up to the video..... looks like its dubbed. Audio is ahead of video... weird to watch lol. Might wanna reload this one.
Are sardines good
Depends on the brand and flavor. Nuri is the gold standard to some, but for a bit cheaper you can get Flower brand Moroccan Spiced Sardines that are also great.
King Oscar is a good daily driver and some Santa Amaro are good, but some are kinda meh.
Yes and No. Good source of Omg-3, but sardines can also contain high levels of lead.It depends on where they are sourced. 2X, maybe 3X, a week seems ok.
No! Nothing is good. Especially not water.
When I watch any clips from this keynote lecture, I hear what she's saying, but my mind visualizes her doing high knees. 😂
What about eating algae/kelp in some form? is this not where the fish get the Omega 3 in the first place? I am vegan but even if I were not, fish are full of micro plastics and do not forget toxic chemical dumping/spills and under-water nuclear testing. Most affordable fish is farmed which is disgusting in a multitude of ways. I cannot imagine farmed fish are health. When you eat sick animals what does this do to the human body?
You don't have to become a piscetarian. Just buy algae based Omega-3 supplements.
Definitely do not ever eat farmed fish
Spirulina chlorella and kelp?
The oceans are so big and deep so I would not worry about fish quality coming from deep sea fishing
@@The32johnny the only worry is the Mercury. It’s not always about a clem
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:54 *🐟 Not consuming enough omega-3 from seafood is a leading preventable cause of death, responsible for approximately 84,000 deaths annually in the US.*
02:31 *🩸 The omega-3 index, measured in red blood cell membranes, serves as a reliable long-term biomarker for omega-3 status, with a target range of 8% or higher.*
04:24 *🫁 Individuals with an omega-3 index of 8% have a 90% reduced risk of sudden cardiac death and a 5-year increased life expectancy compared to those with a 4% index.*
06:24 *🔬 Observational data suggests that maintaining a high omega-3 index may mitigate the detrimental effects of smoking on life expectancy.*
Made with HARPA AI
Thin people and short people tend to live longer. Perhaps another example than Japanise people would have been better.
maybe those smokers with high omega 3 simply had healthy food habits while those with low omega 3 had unhealthy food habits
The takeaway message would still be the same.. eat healthy which includes omega 3. and you'll be one of those people.
The odd thing about this is the VA just removed fish oil from their prescription lists! If someone reads this and knows how to combat this and or is powerful/knowledgeable enough to overturn this please do! This is terrible for the veterans community especially since I know first hand how well it helps with TBI's..! Thank you
I'm both an RN who works for the VA and also a vet myself. The VA discontinued this due to lack of supportive clinical evidence (that it really does much of anything) and difficulties in product acquisition.
That said, nothing is preventing you from going out and buying fish oil on your own.
Here is the actual letter that providers were given in January 2024:
Over the Counter (OTC) Fish Oil Supplements No Longer Provided by VA
Dear VA Healthcare Provider:
This letter is to inform you of a decision made by the National Formulary Committee (NFC) that OTC /nonprescription fish oil supplements will no longer be provided by VA. Reasons for this include the lack of supportive clinical evidence (see below) and difficulties in product acquisition. Over the past few years, the VA Pharmacy Benefits Management (PBM) contracting department has struggled to award a contract for an OTC fish oil supplement that meets VA high standards for quality and consistency. As outlined in VHA Directive 1108.08 VHA Formulary Management Process1, supplements can be provided if the following conditions are met:
1. Supplement possesses sufficient scientific evidence to support its safe and effective use in the treatment of a specific disease state or condition.
2. The product satisfies or supplements an unmet need in the treatment of a medical condition or offers an advantage over FDA approved medications.
If those conditions are met, the PBM identifies and gives preference to those manufacturers who comply with good manufacturing practices (cGMP) and carry either a “seal of approval or certification” from an independent company (e.g., USP Verified, NSF, etc.) that certifies their product is produced in a quality manner, does not contain contaminants or impurities, contains the labeled dose per tablet/capsule and is properly labeled.
Evidence for Use of Fish Oil Supplements (Regarding Condition #1-Supporting Evidence):
Cardiovascular Risk Reduction:
There is a lack of evidence supporting use of OTC fish oil supplements for reducing cardiovascular (CV) risk. Clinical practice guidelines from professional organizations do not recommend routine use of fish oil supplements since evidence does not support use for reducing CV risk.
Professional Guideline/ Level/Strength of Recommendation Population Recommendation
AHA/ACC/ACCP/ASPC/NLA/PCNA
20232
COR-NB
LOE-B-NR Patients with CCD Use of dietary supplements, including fish oils, is not beneficial for reducing CV events.
VA-DoD 20203

Non-Cardiovascular Uses:
There is lack of evidence to support the safe and effective use of OTC fish oil supplements for treating non-CV conditions (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, dry eye disease, polycystic ovary syndrome [PCOS], etc.) and therefore, use of fish oil supplements is not recommended.
FDA Approved Prescription Omega-3 Fatty Acid Medications-Potential Alternatives to Fish Oil Supplements in Eligible Patients (Regarding Condition #2-Unmet Need):
There are two FDA approved prescription “fish oil or omega-3 fatty acid” medications that can be considered in eligible patients including omega-3-acid ethyl esters (e.g., LovazaÒ and LovazaÒ generics) or icosapent ethyl (VascepaÒ). Although there are FDA approved generics for icosapent ethyl, they are not yet available. National Criteria for Use (CFU) are available for both agents and generally reflect clinical trial evidence and FDA labeled indications (See below). VA National CFU (general inclusion criteria)-Accessible via: VA Formulary Advisor
· LovazaÒ and LovazaÒ generics: Patient with triglyceride (TG) level > 500 mg/dL on 2 occasions.
o Secondary causes of hypertriglyceridemia are considered and addressed/managed.
· Icosapent Ethyl (VascepaÒ): Reducing CV risk in patients maximized on statins, history of ASCVD, LDL between 41-100 mg/dL and fasting TG > 150 mg/dL.
The effect of Lovaza, Lovaza generics or icosapent ethyl on risk for pancreatitis in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia has not been established.
Statins and fibrates may be considered for reducing triglyceride levels, if clinically appropriate, in selected patients.
Supplements are not FDA Approved for Safety or Efficacy for Any Indication:
Although nutritional supplements, such as fish oils, are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), they are not subject to the rigorous approval process used by FDA for reviewing the safety and efficacy of drugs prior to entering the market. Because of this, supplements are not permitted to make claims of treating, diagnosing, preventing, or curing disease.
Additionally, since supplements are not as closely scrutinized before entering the market (and can enter the market without notifying FDA), there is the potential for obtaining a product that does not meet VA’s established high standards for quality and consistency unless there are companies willing to seek certification from independent companies providing such a service.
Therefore, consistent access to a certified high-quality OTC fish oil supplement product is no longer sustainable through VA and contract-awarded companies have been unable to meet supply demands over the past several years.
These challenges have led the National Formulary Committee (NFC) to determine that because of the lack of evidence to support use of non-FDA approved OTC fish oil supplements for CV or non-CV indications and because of the inability to ensure VA is providing certified high-quality fish oil supplements to its Veterans, VA will no longer provide fish oil supplements. However, for eligible patients, there are two FDA approved prescription options available through National CFU.
Provider Guidance:
1. For patients receiving fish oil supplements from VA, consider the indication for use and determine whether a prescription medication is indicated in place of the OTC fish oil supplement (e.g., based on VA CFU or other evidence).
2. VA pharmacy will discontinue any active prescriptions for OTC fish oil supplements over the next several months.
3. Inform patients of reasons (lack of evidence for use, inability to ensure consistent access to a high-quality product) VA is no longer providing OTC fish oil supplements and offer the patient letter as additional information. (Link to patient letter will be included)
4. A discussion should be held and ideally documented regarding the paucity of supporting clinical data and the need to ensure selection of a high-quality product, if continued. However, while OTC fish oil supplements are commonly available from a variety of retail and online sources, VA does not make any recommendations for the purchase of OTC fish oil products.
5. If a shared decision is made between provider and patient to continue with OTC/non-prescription fish oil supplements, the patient can obtain from a non-VA source at their expense like other supplements that are not covered under the VA formulary plan. Remember to add the OTC Fish Oil as a Non-VA Medication in CPRS / Cerner-Oracle given the potential for drug-drug interactions and side effects (e.g., bleeding).
Farmed Salmon is toxic.
Omega 3 counteracts the toxins found in farmed fish, such as mercury, go check the research its really interesting how powerful omega-3s are
I don't trust buying a bottle of overpriced fish oil supplements . It's unregulated, you could be getting motor oil and wouldn't even know it. I'll just eat as much wild caught seafood as my food budget will allow.
There is a company where you test yourself before you start with their product. After 120 days a new test. Then you get the proof that it works.🩸✅
You really think it can be motor oil inside?
Isn't fish oil now linked to a-fib risk? Why direct people to eat fish when even fish don't create omega-3? they get it from the algae, so shouldn't algae oil be the most natural and healthiest source?
From what I could find the arterial fibrillation risk was from a high dose of supplemental fish oil.. this is why I believe it is important to get omega-3 from whole food sources like fatty fish.
Fish evolved eating algae to create Omega-3 human beings evolved eating fish to get Omega-3. I think it's smarter to go with the evolutionary sources of the nutrients we require.
@@HEWhitney1 Modern day fish is not pure. Even fish farmed sustainably are exposed to their own feces and stresses of those environments. At least with algae oil we can minimize the chemical and environmental pollutants.
The meta analysis says Arterial Fibrillation risks applies to PATIENTS (note the word patients so the studies weren't done to average/normal subjects) with an elevated cardiac risk. It doesn't apply to normal people who don't have that issue. Also one clinical trial showed benefits to cardiovascular health with fish oil supplements.
@@Starship_X Wild fish are about as pure a food as you can get. Farmed fish is as bad as factory farmed meat. I haven't studied the environmental impacts of industrial alge oil production. My phobia against processed food is that it lacks an evolutionary connection and doesn't have the synergy with other macro and micro nutrients in whole foods.
@@kcopara1 It's hard to judge individual studies in real time. It wouldn't surprise me if refined fish oil supplements were problematic for some people. Population statistics are what you expect, outcomes are what you get.
Dr. Mercola and other long term proponents of omega 3s now advise against it. in fact another prominent biohacker says it's just a matter of time before Dr. Rhonda Patrick changes her mind on omega 3s too.
Relying on the opinions of Mercola and biohackers seems unwise. What does the science show?
Ahahaha. If Mercola doesn’t like it then it definitely works and I love it.
Are people still listening to that snake oil salesman?
@@tomgoff7887 Mercola and others are basing their opinions on the latest science. Listen to his arguments against it before you judge.
@@tomgoff7887 Dr. Rhonda Patrick has changed her opinions on many topics as have many other scientists based on emerging science. I wouldnt be surprised if she changes her opinion on omega 3s as well.
@@R27035 Given Mercola's track record, I have serious doubts and I haven't wasted my time listening to Mercola's woo for a very long time. Does any credible health authority or medical association say the same thing? No - so why bother listening to alternative health influencers who make a living promoting sensational claims about this, that or the other? . All the studies I have seen show significant associations between consumption of ALA, DHA and EPA and reduced mortality.
Lighting did not do her any favors.
And you have the audacity to have that moniker, yet judge trivialities. Give your head a wobble.
She’s a good doctor and she knows her stuff but she get paid for those videos.
Oh no! Doctors should never been paid for their time.
Omega 3s are the precursors to prostaglandins, leukotrianes, thromboxanes all of which are pro inflammatory, they are also the source of glyoxal in advanced glycation!
Arachidonic acid is an Omega-6 fatty acid and is the precursor to potentially harmful eicosanoids. Also, to state that eicosanoids are pro inflammatory is a gross oversimplification. There are many different types. Some are recognized as being physiologically beneficial while some are not immediately seen as beneficial. The prostaglandins, thromboxanes, leukotrienes, lipoxins, resolvins, and eoxins derived from Omega-3 is almost exclusively giving your health span a boost.
Are you trying to claim taking omega-3s is pro inflammatory? lmao
@ daniel Go away troll.
Omega-3 is a macronutrient. It's a fat.
Omega 3s or fish oils are anti metabolic, they are actually more toxic than omega 6s due to their greater degree of unsaturation and increased number of allylic carbons, see Ray Peat’s work, saturated and monounsaturated fats are far safer to consume
You are misinformed
@ daniel Go away troll.
Sorry, Harvard has no credibility, I would trust Russia and China before Harvard studies
Where do you buy your tinfoil hats?
Just google it. Come out from your rock your living under. Their studies are bought and have a history of falsifying the data.
From China 🤣
And where do I place random comments from users with randomly generated handles?
Just google the info yourself. Harvard is a joke. The other answer is just press Ctrl Alt Delete. Good luck liberal progressive clown. You outed yourself
All that lovely plastic from the sea youre eating.
Much better ways
