I been struggling with chest pains, breathing problems and many things for the pass 5 years and doctors did nothing to help me. I started having back pains as well and they just wanted me to do gastroypass saying I'll be able to lose weight and get rid of my back pain. I said if I can get rid of my back pain, I can do the exercise I need to do to lose weight. Since I've gained a lot of weight because of being inactive due to my back pains and the pandemic. I suffered and they blamed everything on my weight when my blood test shows other problems. I watched your videos about Vitamin D3+K2 and Glutathione and I bought both of those products and in a few weeks, I started feeling better. I'm now able to move again, no more back pains, body odor has decreased, skin is more smoother and I feel 10 years younger and now going back to the gym to exercise and lose weight. I feel like I got my life back. Thank you Dr.Berg.ngs to lose weight

Dr Berg, I owe you a debt of gratitude. In 12/22 I was grossly over weight and decided to lose some pounds. Through you I decided to use intermittent fasting and added a keto diet in January that is how I lost 110 pounds by June thirtieth. Now I am 189 pounds OMAD full keto from now on. I exercise daily eat a lemon each morning, take my ACV with electrolytes, cold shower, sauna and swim. Thank you much doctor.
That's fantastic! Congratulations! I would love to hear about your success! Please use this link to upload your story: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
So i watched this video. It is informative but the title threw me off. Cause i thought i was going to be informed on how consuming Omega 3 is reflected in the body in 30 days. Rather we just got information on what does omega 3 do and help with.

Thank you doctor berg!! I’m a pharmacist and watching your video daily helped me so much for my family specially for my kids. Everyone around me so surprised because I have a kids (age3,4and1) that eats salad with salmon and drink smoothies, eat healthy everyday .. thank you! I’m helping people around me as well by sharing your videos and the info I learned from you. Thank you so much!!
Any chance you could recommend a lab that can test batches for heavy metals for us high dose consumers. It is my understanding the concentrations become a problem when consuming over 2 grams a day. I was taking Lovaza? But am suspicious about the omega 3 discount brand my insurance switched me to.
I started taking Omega 3 fish oils many years ago. I am 75 and all my friends are on multiple drugs, they have had to have cataract surgery and many have macular degeneration issues. They all have numerous types of medical problems. I have often wondered if my habit of Omega 3's is the reason that I am very healthy. My eyes actually improved a few years ago and I do not have to wear glasses while driving. I eat only organic, non processed food and always buy grass fed, free range meat.
@LoisLopez-gg8gz I suggest Cod liver fish oil it has two addition of vitamins A and D³ the brand that I'm using is Carlson Norwegian Cod liver fish oil it's amazing it helps me with my inflammation and also you will have clear skin
Eat fresh sardines. Calcium and vitamin d in addition to the DHA and EPA. They are lower in contamination than larger fish like salmon. They are also inexpensive.
Take note. Atlantic Caught Salmon is farmed salmon and has a higher Omega-6 content over the Omega-3, Pacific Caught Salmon is generally wild caught and has a higher Omega-3 content over the Omega-6. There is a difference and farmed salmon is not a very good alternative to Wild Caught.
One thing nobody ever mentions, but something I noticed when I started taking fish oil/Omega-3 everyday was a noticeable drop in my stress level, less anxiousness.👍
I belong to a coastal region of India and we have an average 5 servings of oily fish like Sardines, Mackerel, Tuna, Seer fish, Halibut, etc per week with brown rice , coconut oil and veggies. The life expectancy in our region is over 85..
I got prescribed 4 fish oil pills a day and in 6 months I was more mobile, less inflammation, I was able to stop taking my antidepressants and my cholesterol dropped significantly. Would recommend. That’s just my singular experience, combined with a changed diet, more beans, and veggies and less red meat, more activity, and life is better🎉
My 8 year old daughter loves eating sardines and mackerel. Loves, broccoli. She loves eggs olives mussels. Tbh other parents look at her and say they couldn't get their kids eating that kind of food. I think it's how you start them off from an early age.
I applaud you. Most parents are completely ignorant. Hit the kids with 72 shotts give them nothing but gmos sugar dyes and chicken nuggets see what happens.
I’m from Maryland and I was eating crabs, oysters, mussels, and clams when I was 7. I always loved steamed seafood and didn’t like the kids’ menus with all the fried stuff.
started eating avocados and Salmon and taking a Omega 3 - Krill supplement and my chronic pain improved ten fold my mental focus and anxiety improved significantly . My ability to heal faster from muscle soreness became efficient
The big truth and big help that i am so grateful for! ❤ (To the video - there should be 1:30 as written in order Omega 3 : Omega 6 - instead of 30:1, but i hope everyone is clear about the lack of Omega 3). Sorry, the Math tutor here 😅😊
I recently started eating fish often and over 3 months I stopped taking birth control & have not gotten cramps like I use to. Use to vomit for 2 days due to the pain until birth control. Birth control made me crazy though, mood swings like no other. I'm so happy I found the nutritionist I did. My life is so peaceful now.

Dr. Berg, glad I ran into this episode about fish oil. When you mentioned how important DHA is for Memory, Function, Cognitive Function, Focus.. these are the areas I have significantly having trouble with by the 4th week of weaning off Zoloft, completely (but slowly tapering off in the span of 3-4 months to zero). First it was my focus, then short term memory (I keep forgetting where I put my keys, phone, lock the door, or why I go somewhere, every day..) and then I had difficulty in making a sentence or trying to convey something, it was like my cognitive functions was significantly slow or foggy - that my sister noticed it was difficult to understand me and I would pause a lot in between words just trying to find the next word :( Then I had to tell my family I took the decision to get off it after 13 years on it. I did take Magnesium Glycinate daily at night to help what it can especially with anxiety. But those areas I have mentioned still in "repairing" or feels like "rewiring' is happening.. my speech is better now, not so slow and no more slurring when I speak, and my long term memories of things seems to come back and surprise me. Feels strange to suddenly remember what felt.. "lost" you know? But now I feel like maybe I should take fish oil again to help? Also they're good for my heart. I am 34 but I still have tachycardia & arrhythmia even after WPW ablation. I've consumed before but stopped for a long time and there are new info that I didn't know then which I knew now, thank to your knowledge. I'm 4 months Zoloft-free now and I know it has its challenges and lots of side effects that are coming in every few weeks but I am determined. Just need to deal with the cognitive function issues for now. One day at a time! Thanks Dr. Berg, it gives me hope that perhaps my cognitive is gonna be okay, and that's by fish oil perhaps!
Your videos are so informative and accurate to my findings.I was on medication for hypothyroidism no surgery but was given radio iodine with kills off the gland.I began to educate myself (watching your videos)on supplements I chose and 10 years later no medication.Regular thyroid levels.😊
Taking fish oil is life changening. I have severe social anxiety to the point that talking infront of the class is terrifying for me and i get stuttered when im speaking. Thanks to fish oil. I gain the confidence i wanna have. I dont stutter and become nervous excsssively. It really helps my anxiety though. Kuddos to this!
For me too i was taking ashagwanda,rhodiola , magniesium, cbd, nothing was working. Now iam taking 500 DHA 250 EPA and its Game chenger with my social anxiety love it ❤
Yes I've been suffering with inflammation for 3 years and Dr's can't find out why , but did my own research and starting taking this theblast 90 days, totally life changing, you videos always come right on time..I wish you would do a meet and greet one day

My endocrinologist told me Six months ago to start taking 1000mg of omega 3 everyday and CoQ10. My cholesterol has no longer been a problem. No more fatty liver, either. Wild Alaskan Salmon is a staple in my diet, also. Perhaps once a week I have 3 sardines with mustard. We only buy grass fed beef, eggs, and free range chicken eggs per Dr Berg’s advice. Thank you, Dr Berg. Happier and healthier at 76.
Dr. Berg, I started your low carb routine at the end of May this year; now, I never eat sugar, or starchy foods or bread, I still eat healthy vegetables, especially broccoli, cauliflower cabbage kale and salads. My Arrhythmia heart doctor agreed to my healthy eating plan as long as I eat enough good green carbs for my heart ❤️. I am losing weight slowly but in a steady healthy fashion with my heart arrhythmia. Thank you Dr Berg, at my age I thought I was too late; but no, there is always time for a healthy lifestyle. You are a blessing.
Omega 3 contains cholesterol, so I am not understanding how your cholesterol would have lowered taking this. I have been afraid of it increasing my cholesterol due to cholesterol being in Omega 3
I’ve been taking cod oil for a couple months and my skin is clear and stretchy it’s awesome. No more dry patches on my upper arms and I had a rash on my mouth and cutting out gluten cleared that up too. I have Hashimotos and this channel has helped a lot. Thanks!

I have always used cod liver oil for my little ones but lately I bought another brand for my omega. Thank you for reminding me of the reasons why I used to only use cod liver oil. I had some trauma to my body last night and almost died after losing so much, so I forgot a lot of things. One, why I specifically used cod liver oil. Thank you again for the reminder and thank you for the new information. Thank you for all you so brother. Blessings.
@@johnlacey3857 Sure. Simply put, the fish oil is a lubricant that keeps the eye glands healthy. This allows the eye to perform better. This is the roughest explanation. At my next visit April 2025, I will ask for a refresher explanation and then share ☺️
Thank you for confirming the benefits of fish oil, so I will begin to supplement with fish oil, along with the other food sources you mentioned that I already eat. I watch your videos daily. Thank you for educating the world. Those that want to take control over their "OWN BODY'S HEALTH" can really be well informed on how to do that. I've been watching you for over 5 years and my heath at 66 is better for it. 👍

Nordic country here (Faroes). Every day my father gave us a table spoon of cod fish oil. Back then I and my brother did not like the taste, but we ate it, because our father said it was "very good". A lot of us eat it here. Have had a pause for some years, but started with cod liver oil again last year. Interesting info, dr. Berg.
My hair loss reduced significantly after consuming cod liver oil for 4-6 months. This was a side benefit as I was consuming it for a different diagnosis based on deficiency found in my blood test.
i have been consuming since childhood but quit for 20years and recently started 2nmonths again and just went out of stock . thanks for this knowledge. needed indeed.
You have a new subscriber. I recently went to the doctor because I've been very very tired lately, dry skin, having trouble forming sentences, and depressed. Got my blood work done. I have high iron and cholesterol levels. My doctor recommended omega-3 in my diet, eat more fish, vegetables, and walk for at least 30 minutes a day. She could prescribed me cholesterol medication or make a lifestyle change. Guess what! I'm making a lifestyle change for it's cheaper in the long run. The reason I'm here is because I was researching omega 3 and its benefits and your video showed up. I will be sharing this video to my daughters.
I've been taking cod liver oil for 2 months now. I can say I've had undisturbed sleep during the night, wake up early in the morning, less allergies, my skin and hair is at it's best ❤️ Thanks
Was given Cod Liver Oil as an infant and taken it ever since , 75 with no aches or pains, great joints and bones. My mother was a dietitian and believed in Cod Liver Oil, natural C and Vitamin D daily, and that is what we were given even though our food was naturally sourced and healthy, mostly from farms or the garden. Super Markets were where you buy paper goods and cleaning supplies😂
I was injuried at only 15 years old. I had i whip in my lower back. Symptoms startede to increase with time and over 4 years with several special doctor appointments and pain i was told that it was chronic and i had to live with it. It ruined my world. I loved sports and my dreams of becoming either a cop or a soldier was destroyed. I ended in depression. Years went by and i learned to live with it but it was touch. I have spent nearly 15.000 dollars on pysiotherapy and a bunch of alternativ healers with no help at all. Recently a friend of mine told me to look at my diet. And told me to look into anti-inflammetory diets. I have now been eating fish and been takin liquid fish oil supplements for the last 6 weeks and i swear 90% of my symptomer are gone. Just gone!? I've been takin so many drugs over time prescribed from my doctor and now you are telling me that fish oils can remove my symptoms completely. Are you fucking kidding me ? I simply don't understand why any doctor haven't suggested fish oils back then. I am 30 years old now and can finally use my body the way i want and dream about. Thank you so much for your efford about omega 3 studies. I'll probably take fish oil for the rest of my days.
Yes, Dr. Berg, been taking Omega-3 & good Krill for years. That could be what’s keeping me so fit & strong to ward off infections & other health issues. So grateful! 😊
My dog had a bad reaction to the Parvo vaccine.* She started having seizures and muscle spasms so bad she would fall down. I found info online that omega 3's could help. I switched her to a tuna & sardine diet and supplemented with magnesium, calcium, and a little potassium and zinc. It was miraculous! No more seizures, no more spasms, she is back to her old self in less than 3 weeks. I am slowly decreasing the supplements to once a week and keeping the fish diet for one meal a day. *she had an indirect exposure to a dog who later died of Parvo.
We had a litter of kittens and one could not stand because the back legs didn't work. The vet recommended cod liver oil and after one dropper he was able to stand. We were amazed.
This is absolutely true. I was suffering from severe asthma and after one month of high quality non oxidated omega 3 ( it must be 2 g daily) as well as vitamin D3k2 , after one month my asthma and sore joints reduced , and now after one year has miraculously disappeared !!! I barely ever use an inhaler anymore and im lifting heavier weights than in my twenties!!
I'm convinced my depression has got worse since I stopped eating fish. My sleep has got worse as well. I'm going back to eating fish 2-3 times a week. Fingers crossed it helps.
I regularly include 2000mg of NatureMade fish oil + a can of Wild Planet sardines in extra virgin olive oil, with my daily Carnivore diet. (Not to mention ACV, lemons, wild blueberries, Kraut roasted garlic, cabbage, live and raw probiotics). Got this covered! 👊
In the Nordic countries, it is traditional to consume fish or cod liver oil and seal oil. The balance between Omega 3 from fish and sea mammal sources is important. Seal oil contains a different ratio of Omega 3 types and is more bioavailable for humans.
I consume 2240MG a day. I have been taking the supplements since around January of this year. I can tell you it has helped me with dry eyes but also i have noticed i just feel better overall. My skin and memory has improved as well. I would suggest finding a good source and start taking it if you dont get it in your diet. I use the PRN Supplement. Its around $50 a month but worth it for me.
Omega-3s and omega-6s are incorporated in cell membranes and can last inside these cells for quite some time. Omega-3s stay in your system anywhere from about six weeks to six months. The amount of omega-3s that stay in your system also depends on the amount you receive through diet or supplementation. Vitamin B12 is stored in excess in the liver, decreasing the likelihood of deficiency. Stores of vitamin B12 in the body can last around 2 to 5 years without being replenished, so it can take a long time for any problems to develop after a dietary change.
I have been taking fish oil consistently for the last few years. Primarily to help with my joints which it helps with 100% but the side affect has been no more brain fog and no more falling asleep in the afternoon? I also take magnesium and vitamin D. I’m not sure if long term supplement use is good but I certainly feel better than I used to.
I consume Omega3 for almost 2 years, although the pain doesnt go away but it really lessen my menstrual cramps. And my skin also start more glowing. My source fatty fish, 4 egg(daily) and some supplement(daily).
I take a krill 350 mg once a day. I have Cod liver oil also , using up my Krill oil 1st. I can't say this enough, Dr. Berg helped me with my right arm pain that I had for 2 years with the liver detox . I used Kefir, blueberries, and Kale in a smoothie 2 weeks and still do the smoothie once or twice a week. Thank you, Dr. Berg! I'm spreading the word about your channel.
I make my own kefir and love it with blueberries in it. I don't do kale due to the oxalates and quit blending up smoothies after watching Dr Lustig says it destroys the benefits of fiber by chopping it up.
@lisahylton2449: !I take a krill 350 mg once a day. I have Cod liver oil also , using up my Krill oil 1st. ! No, you don't "take" it. You eat it and only a small part of what you think you have taken is being absorbed. Fats taken with the food meet pancreatic lipase in your gut and break them down to glycerol and fatty acids, PUFAS are not exception here. A part non digested by lipase are used by bacteria in your gut, and some of PUFAs is lost with the faeces. So it's not so simple as it seems.
Dr Berg I would love to see you do a video on the effects of these vitamins on certain prescriptions, for example. Vitamin d along side a thiazide diuretic which already increases your calcium in it self, or magnesium and other blood pressure medication.
I was raised on fish and high-quality cod liver oil back in the 60's here in Norway. I still take a table spoon every morning. I also eat salmon, mackerel often and canned Sardines in Virgin Olive Oil almost every day. Cod with cod liver and cod roe is my favorite dinner if I can catch one.
Between you, Dr Been, and Dr Gundry I've been convinced to try omega 3 fish oil to help me produce my own collagen and it's working. Me and my skin thank you.
I have been taking them for 3 years together with a daily turmeric and Glucosamine and Chondroitin tablets for my arthritic knees and been pain free since, hiking 15 miles in a day without issue at 68 years of age. They get a big thumbs up from me.
I'm on my two months on Fish oils, as someone that lives on a tropical island which can be very hot some times I can assure you my eyes benefits well of the fish oils, my elbow bursitis and It helps with sinusitis too!
I am doing two IT jobs and my eyes had terrible strain and dryness. I started omega 3 supplements and within days saw improvement. Honestly the only supplement I take
I was taking sea buckthorn oil for awhile (its expensive though 😕). It has all the omegas. It would be great if you could discuss sea buckthorn for those of us who dislike fish oil.
I agree, I hope Dr Berg considers discussing some plant-based options too. There are people who can't consume animal products, in addition to those who don't want to.
All I needed to hear was that it's essential for body function; 70% of people are deficient, and we can't make it on our own. Thank you for having a quick link to buy it.
Doc, everytime I take Omega-3 fish oil, my heart is about to blow up. I get palputations, dizziness and I feel as if I am going to faint. I tried all the most expensive brands. What could be an issue? Love your informative videos, thanks for educating us.
When i was a baby in uk my mother fed me cod liver oil on a spoon that was just after the war i remember it was not a very nice taste the capsules you get now is a big step forward .😊
Dr berg you are the man, I started my journey a year ago. Started implementing all that I can from your videos. I weighed 220, now I'm 181 and I dont fit in any of my clothes now. I do healthy keto and IF, apple cider vin, cod liv, trace mineral, sour kraut, kefir. Stopped drinking and smoking, you have completely changed my life. Thank you so much. I can never go back to my prior life, I jus cant tolerate living that way anymore. Thank you!
Thank you, Dr. Berg, for the essentials for Omega 3, coupled with the food, and the seeds. etc The importance and the benefits of health are unimaginable. The video is loaded😍
Thank you Dr berg, i'm happy to say i and my kids takes cod liver oil before bed, ya! Am noticing improvement in my daughter's myopia~ thank you Dr for all you do to improve our health... Stay blessed🙏❤
A local man who raises grass fed beef said grocery store beef can say "grass fed" on the label even if only 20% of the diet is grass. So I don't trust it to be 100% grass fed.
Hey Dr. Eric I have something for you on Omega 3 from my life experience. My dog had 15 tumors or so. And 7 of them were cancer. But the autopsy on the cancer tumors showed all the cancer was already dead. I fish a lot of salmon. Enough so I get to eat it 2-3 times a week if I want and my dog gets it almost every day. I believe the cancer was super saturated in Omage-3 fatty acids and it caused the cancer to starve. All of her cancer was dead so not a problem anymore. But the salmon and the oils in it. Thats my proof the oils work.
@@gir1258 The Autopsy showed the cancer was coated in the Omega fatty acid. I am asking for more testing and research. Until then I will continue to save lives where I can how I can. Even with hatters like you around.
@@mariyow1409Yes it is. My dog Kira is still here alive and well at 15 years of age and will be 16 this year. She is very happy and healthy for her age and yes the tumors where real and all the cancer was dead. I paid extra to send in the tumors to a lab for autopsy just incase she needed cancer treatment. The results came back and the cancer was "super saturated" in the yummy fish oils.
FYI, get the triglyceride form of Omega 3s, not the ethyl ester form, since it is much more easy to absorb. It will say what type it is on the bottle - usually the triglcyeride form is about 40-60% more expensive than the ethyl ester form.
I started taking omega-3 and in 30 days my inflammation is gone but I feel the hate flowing through my veins just as before, stronger now, crystallizing in my mind the answers
Good video. I'd be interested in finding fish oils that *aren't* rancid. Dr. Mason of Australia worked with a lab to test as many oils as they could get their hands on, and no matter how "fresh" they were all rancid. So I've taken to eating wild caught, water packed sardines at least a few days a week. (My cats love the water and get some of the fish oil goodness) Oh and you left out two important benefits of DHA - lowering triglycerides and increasing HDL.
I been struggling with chest pains, breathing problems and many things for the pass 5 years and doctors did nothing to help me. I started having back pains as well and they just wanted me to do gastroypass saying I'll be able to lose weight and get rid of my back pain. I said if I can get rid of my back pain, I can do the exercise I need to do to lose weight. Since I've gained a lot of weight because of being inactive due to my back pains and the pandemic. I suffered and they blamed everything on my weight when my blood test shows other problems. I watched your videos about Vitamin D3+K2 and Glutathione and I bought both of those products and in a few weeks, I started feeling better. I'm now able to move again, no more back pains, body odor has decreased, skin is more smoother and I feel 10 years younger and now going back to the gym to exercise and lose weight. I feel like I got my life back. Thank you Dr.Berg.ngs to lose weight
Awesome good luck 1 day at a time God Bless 🙌
Wow

Dr Berg,
I owe you a debt of gratitude. In 12/22 I was grossly over weight and decided to lose some pounds. Through you I decided to use intermittent fasting and added a keto diet in January that is how I lost 110 pounds by June thirtieth. Now I am 189 pounds OMAD full keto from now on. I exercise daily eat a lemon each morning, take my ACV with electrolytes, cold shower, sauna and swim. Thank you much doctor.
Great character you have. Keep up the good work.
Well done Larry, keep fighting the good fight. 👍

WELL DONE LARRY!!!❤
So nice to read your success story, Larry 👍😊 Keep going on treating your health so wisely.
So i watched this video. It is informative but the title threw me off. Cause i thought i was going to be informed on how consuming Omega 3 is reflected in the body in 30 days. Rather we just got information on what does omega 3 do and help with.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 🐟 *Omega-3 fatty acids are essential as the body can't produce them; 70% of the population lacks Omega-3, leading to potential health issues.*
00:38 🐟 *Cod liver oil is preferred for Omega-3 due to added vitamins D and A; quality matters more than cost in choosing fish oil to avoid rancidity.*
01:18 🧠 *EPA in Omega-3 aids in reducing inflammation, benefiting joints and heart; DHA is crucial for brain health, comprising 20% of the brain's gray matter.*
02:14 🌞 *Cod liver oil historically used in Nordic countries during low sun exposure winters for its vitamin D content; vitamin D intake can impact asthma.*
03:05 🩺 *Regular Omega-3 consumption might alleviate dry eyes, dermatitis, age-related macular degeneration, arthritis, and high blood pressure.*
04:05 🦴 *Omega-3 aids in calcium absorption; deficiency might lead to leg cramps, difficulty sleeping, menstrual cramps, and insomnia.*
04:58 🚫 *Fish oil capsules can prevent burping; alternatives like algae-based supplements exist for those allergic to fish or following a vegan diet.*
05:27 🩸 *Blood spot tests can evaluate Omega-3 levels; excessive Omega-6 consumption (e.g., soy, corn oils) can compete with Omega-3, leading to deficiencies.*
06:21 🔁 *Imbalance between Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids (e.g., consuming too much Omega-6 from soy, corn oils) could cause inflammation, affecting Omega-3 absorption.*
06:58 💊 *Consider bile supplements for better Omega-3 absorption if lacking a gallbladder or facing gut inflammatory issues.*
07:39 🌾 *Animals fed grains have lower Omega-3 content; grass-fed animals have higher Omega-3, impacting human dietary intake.*
Thank you

Omega-3 can play a big part in creating hormone balance, primarily because of its anti-inflammatory properties.

How to use it? In empty stomach or after eating food?
00:04 Omega-3 fish oils are essential and most people are deficient in them
01:01 Consuming fatty fish and other omega-3 rich foods can help reduce inflammation and improve brain health.
02:03 Cod liver oil is beneficial for kids and has been used for many health benefits in Nordic countries.
02:55 Omega-3 fish oils have multiple health benefits
04:02 Omega-3 fatty acids have multiple benefits including reducing liver fat, increasing calcium absorption, reducing cramps, aiding sleep, and decreasing cancer risk.
05:03 Omega-3 blood test and alternative sources
06:00 Consuming too much omega-6 fatty acids can lead to omega-3 deficiency.
06:58 Omega-3 fatty acids absorption can be improved by adding purified bile salt as a supplement.

I started taking Omega 3 fish oils many years ago. I am 75 and all my friends are on multiple drugs, they have had to have cataract surgery and many have macular degeneration issues. They all have numerous types of medical problems. I have often wondered if my habit of Omega 3's is the reason that I am very healthy. My eyes actually improved a few years ago and I do not have to wear glasses while driving. I eat only organic, non processed food and always buy grass fed, free range meat.
What brand of fish oil do you take?
Yes what brand?
@LoisLopez-gg8gz I suggest Cod liver fish oil it has two addition of vitamins A and D³ the brand that I'm using is Carlson Norwegian Cod liver fish oil it's amazing it helps me with my inflammation and also you will have clear skin
@LoisLopez-gg8gz i take qunol ultra purified omega 3 works well 👍
Eat fresh sardines. Calcium and vitamin d in addition to the DHA and EPA. They are lower in contamination than larger fish like salmon. They are also inexpensive.
Take note. Atlantic Caught Salmon is farmed salmon and has a higher Omega-6 content over the Omega-3, Pacific Caught Salmon is generally wild caught and has a higher Omega-3 content over the Omega-6. There is a difference and farmed salmon is not a very good alternative to Wild Caught.
Did not know "Atlantic Caught" is farmed but you are right. Thanks for the info.
Yes. One must also consider the toxins added to the usual farmed fish feeds 🤦🏻♀️
How do you know the fish oil is farm or caught?
I appreciate that Dr. Berg doesn’t big you down with unnecessary info. He makes everything very easy to digest
You mean, relevant info?

One thing nobody ever mentions, but something I noticed when I started taking fish oil/Omega-3 everyday was a noticeable drop in my stress level, less anxiousness.👍

My 8 year old daughter loves eating sardines and mackerel. Loves, broccoli. She loves eggs olives mussels. Tbh other parents look at her and say they couldn't get their kids eating that kind of food. I think it's how you start them off from an early age.
Mackerel has a high concentration of mercury, something to think about giving it to kids.

Dr. Berg, glad I ran into this episode about fish oil. When you mentioned how important DHA is for Memory, Function, Cognitive Function, Focus.. these are the areas I have significantly having trouble with by the 4th week of weaning off Zoloft, completely (but slowly tapering off in the span of 3-4 months to zero). First it was my focus, then short term memory (I keep forgetting where I put my keys, phone, lock the door, or why I go somewhere, every day..) and then I had difficulty in making a sentence or trying to convey something, it was like my cognitive functions was significantly slow or foggy - that my sister noticed it was difficult to understand me and I would pause a lot in between words just trying to find the next word :( Then I had to tell my family I took the decision to get off it after 13 years on it. I did take Magnesium Glycinate daily at night to help what it can especially with anxiety. But those areas I have mentioned still in "repairing" or feels like "rewiring' is happening.. my speech is better now, not so slow and no more slurring when I speak, and my long term memories of things seems to come back and surprise me. Feels strange to suddenly remember what felt.. "lost" you know? But now I feel like maybe I should take fish oil again to help? Also they're good for my heart. I am 34 but I still have tachycardia & arrhythmia even after WPW ablation. I've consumed before but stopped for a long time and there are new info that I didn't know then which I knew now, thank to your knowledge. I'm 4 months Zoloft-free now and I know it has its challenges and lots of side effects that are coming in every few weeks but I am determined. Just need to deal with the cognitive function issues for now. One day at a time! Thanks Dr. Berg, it gives me hope that perhaps my cognitive is gonna be okay, and that's by fish oil perhaps!
Your videos are so informative and accurate to my findings.I was on medication for hypothyroidism no surgery but was given radio iodine with kills off the gland.I began to educate myself (watching your videos)on supplements I chose and 10 years later no medication.Regular thyroid levels.😊

In the Nordic countries, it is traditional to consume fish or cod liver oil and seal oil. The balance between Omega 3 from fish and sea mammal sources is important. Seal oil contains a different ratio of Omega 3 types and is more bioavailable for humans.

I consume 2240MG a day. I have been taking the supplements since around January of this year. I can tell you it has helped me with dry eyes but also i have noticed i just feel better overall. My skin and memory has improved as well. I would suggest finding a good source and start taking it if you dont get it in your diet. I use the PRN Supplement. Its around $50 a month but worth it for me.

You must be rich.
careful with mercury.
Omega-3s and omega-6s are incorporated in cell membranes and can last inside these cells for quite some time. Omega-3s stay in your system anywhere from about six weeks to six months. The amount of omega-3s that stay in your system also depends on the amount you receive through diet or supplementation.
Vitamin B12 is stored in excess in the liver, decreasing the likelihood of deficiency. Stores of vitamin B12 in the body can last around 2 to 5 years without being replenished, so it can take a long time for any problems to develop after a dietary change.

Primarily to help with my joints which it helps with 100% but the side affect has been no more brain fog and no more falling asleep in the afternoon? I also take magnesium and vitamin D. I’m not sure if long term supplement use is good but I certainly feel better than I used to.
Just started taking it and eating lots of fish 🎉
Very good. Keep it up!
30 days? I eat them for almost 5 years every day and it’s amazing. Never been sick, not until covid arrived…
And yes - quality does matter
I consume Omega3 for almost 2 years, although the pain doesnt go away but it really lessen my menstrual cramps. And my skin also start more glowing. My source fatty fish, 4 egg(daily) and some supplement(daily).
I took the 1560 mg of Nordic naturals and my blood pressure went back to normal. I will try the codliver oil too
I’m about a week into 1 teaspoon of cod liver oil per day. I haven’t noticed anything different yet but I’m keeping an eye out.
after watching one of your videos, I started taking fish oil, and my eye floaters disappeared!!! thank you Dr. Berg🙌🏽♥️♥️
Wow 🤩 🎉🎉
My Dr. Berg electrolytes come tomorrow! I ordered raspberry/lemon 100 servings 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
It’s really good stuff. I make sure I drink a bottle a day of it everyday.
@@FunDadHubby thanks for the reply. I can’t wait 🤩
That's great. Thanks for your purchase.
@@Drberg I’m going to be back to try more other things. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I take a krill 350 mg once a day. I have Cod liver oil also , using up my Krill oil 1st.
I can't say this enough, Dr. Berg helped me with my right arm pain that I had for 2 years with the liver detox . I used Kefir, blueberries, and Kale in a smoothie 2 weeks and still do the smoothie once or twice a week. Thank you, Dr. Berg! I'm spreading the word about your channel.
I make my own kefir and love it with blueberries in it. I don't do kale due to the oxalates and quit blending up smoothies after watching Dr Lustig says it destroys the benefits of fiber by chopping it up.

No, you don't "take" it. You eat it and only a small part of what you think you have taken is being absorbed. Fats taken with the food meet pancreatic lipase in your gut and break them down to glycerol and fatty acids, PUFAS are not exception here. A part non digested by lipase are used by bacteria in your gut, and some of PUFAs is lost with the faeces.
So it's not so simple as it seems.
Dr Berg I would love to see you do a video on the effects of these vitamins on certain prescriptions, for example. Vitamin d along side a thiazide diuretic which already increases your calcium in it self, or magnesium and other blood pressure medication.
Fish oil has helped me a lot with dry eye.
I was raised on fish and high-quality cod liver oil back in the 60's here in Norway. I still take a table spoon every morning. I also eat salmon, mackerel often and canned Sardines in Virgin Olive Oil almost every day. Cod with cod liver and cod roe is my favorite dinner if I can catch one.
It is amazing how mild cod liver is, Redmond’s salt is all it needs.
Thanks Dr. Berg for the informative video! How much Omega 3 needs to be consumed daily to see benefits?
Between you, Dr Been, and Dr Gundry I've been convinced to try omega 3 fish oil to help me produce my own collagen and it's working. Me and my skin thank you.
I started having dreams at night after not for maybe 4 or 5 years. This is the main thing I put it down to.
I have been taking them for 3 years together with a daily turmeric and Glucosamine and Chondroitin tablets for my arthritic knees and been pain free since, hiking 15 miles in a day without issue at 68 years of age. They get a big thumbs up from me.
Wow
Brand?
If taking cod liver oil, is it beneficial to also take a D3K2 supplement too?
Yes vitamjn d3 and k2 together are good to takr
Yes, very much. Dr Berg’s videos on D3&K2 answer this.
I'm on my two months on Fish oils, as someone that lives on a tropical island which can be very hot some times I can assure you my eyes benefits well of the fish oils, my elbow bursitis and
It helps with sinusitis too!
I am doing two IT jobs and my eyes had terrible strain and dryness. I started omega 3 supplements and within days saw improvement. Honestly the only supplement I take
Amazing. Thanks for sharing your experience here. Stay safe!
What kind of brand of fish oil should we consume ?? Are there some of them what we should avoid
I was taking sea buckthorn oil for awhile (its expensive though 😕).
It has all the omegas. It would be great if you could discuss sea buckthorn for those of us who dislike fish oil.
I agree, I hope Dr Berg considers discussing some plant-based options too. There are people who can't consume animal products, in addition to those who don't want to.
All I needed to hear was that it's essential for body function; 70% of people are deficient, and we can't make it on our own. Thank you for having a quick link to buy it.
Doc, everytime I take Omega-3 fish oil, my heart is about to blow up. I get palputations, dizziness and I feel as if I am going to faint. I tried all the most expensive brands. What could be an issue? Love your informative videos, thanks for educating us.
Same here?
A real doctor helping people for free
When i was a baby in uk my mother fed me cod liver oil on a spoon that was just after the war i remember it was not a very nice taste the capsules you get now is a big step forward .😊
Very educational!
Absolutely grateful and thankful for this information of wellness!
Dr berg you are the man, I started my journey a year ago. Started implementing all that I can from your videos. I weighed 220, now I'm 181 and I dont fit in any of my clothes now. I do healthy keto and IF, apple cider vin, cod liv, trace mineral, sour kraut, kefir. Stopped drinking and smoking, you have completely changed my life. Thank you so much. I can never go back to my prior life, I jus cant tolerate living that way anymore. Thank you!
@@christophern2818Wow 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you, Dr. Berg, for the essentials for Omega 3, coupled with the food, and the seeds. etc The importance and the benefits of health are unimaginable. The video is loaded😍
Thank you Dr berg, i'm happy to say i and my kids takes cod liver oil before bed, ya! Am noticing improvement in my daughter's myopia~ thank you Dr for all you do to improve our health... Stay blessed🙏❤
Before bed? Is that the right time to consume?
Wow 🤩 awesome 👏 thanks for sharing 🎉🎉
@@shcyb1584Sleeping time is the repair time.
ive been taking Omega3 just because i heard its good for you and our body needs it. And now i see why.
I always check with Dr. Berg when I need answers related to my health😊
Aldi’s has organic grass fed ground beef for $3.99 lb. A steal!
I ❤Aldi’s😊!
A local man who raises grass fed beef said grocery store beef can say "grass fed" on the label even if only 20% of the diet is grass. So I don't trust it to be 100% grass fed.
Hey Dr. Eric I have something for you on Omega 3 from my life experience. My dog had 15 tumors or so. And 7 of them were cancer. But the autopsy on the cancer tumors showed all the cancer was already dead. I fish a lot of salmon. Enough so I get to eat it 2-3 times a week if I want and my dog gets it almost every day. I believe the cancer was super saturated in Omage-3 fatty acids and it caused the cancer to starve. All of her cancer was dead so not a problem anymore. But the salmon and the oils in it. Thats my proof the oils work.
That is awesome 😍😍
Sorry but cancer does not work that way.
@@gir1258 The Autopsy showed the cancer was coated in the Omega fatty acid. I am asking for more testing and research. Until then I will continue to save lives where I can how I can. Even with hatters like you around.
@@IsAmericaforSaletoChina is this fr? or u joking. not a sarcasm word but genuinely wanna know,is it?
@@mariyow1409Yes it is. My dog Kira is still here alive and well at 15 years of age and will be 16 this year. She is very happy and healthy for her age and yes the tumors where real and all the cancer was dead. I paid extra to send in the tumors to a lab for autopsy just incase she needed cancer treatment. The results came back and the cancer was "super saturated" in the yummy fish oils.
Dr Berg, what about a video specifically focusing on anhedonia, which is a symptom of depression?
Vitamin D is pretty helpful from personal experience.
Dysthymia too please
Hello. Thanks for the video suggestion. For now, please see my videos on depression: www.youtube.com/@DrEricBergDC/search?query=depression
@@asus.dios. did you have dysthymia as well?
Dr Berg’s videos/ articles on depression should help.
FYI, get the triglyceride form of Omega 3s, not the ethyl ester form, since it is much more easy to absorb. It will say what type it is on the bottle - usually the triglcyeride form is about 40-60% more expensive than the ethyl ester form.
I started taking omega-3 and in 30 days my inflammation is gone but I feel the hate flowing through my veins just as before, stronger now, crystallizing in my mind the answers
Good video. I'd be interested in finding fish oils that *aren't* rancid. Dr. Mason of Australia worked with a lab to test as many oils as they could get their hands on, and no matter how "fresh" they were all rancid. So I've taken to eating wild caught, water packed sardines at least a few days a week. (My cats love the water and get some of the fish oil goodness)
Oh and you left out two important benefits of DHA - lowering triglycerides and increasing HDL.
Just check if they add anything else to the water, for example salt or vinegar cats shouldnt eat that on the long run afaik
