OMEGA-3 Fatty Acids | Massive New Study
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2020
- There’s a massive new study looking at Omega-3 which we have to go through. There’s a lot of controversy around omega-3 and if it actually protects the heart or not. What this new study did is combine all of the data we’ve currently got, so it’s called a meta-analysis, and gives us an overall answer.

What is the test to check omega profile so we do that first rather than blindly ingesting omega 3?
Brad, if you continue to eat carbs and sugars, omega 3 will do very little! Grains and sugars are the real cause of heart disease.
Thank you for this valuable information. I’m a Canadian and I could not find your suggestion on amazon.ca: however, I used the info to choose a highly recommended product.

Nice work dr Brad. One question. I have a 2 months supply of fish oil. Do you advise to store it in the fridge?
Very underrated channel. Concise, to the point, study backed, references + personal opinion. You have my sub sir!
Yes but not the best
he knows where to look for the best trends, that means topic being in the dark for 10+years transformed into mainstream
Bruh, if only that monotonous voice could be swapped
Me too
@@xana5649 are you saying there's another channel/presenter you'd recommend? Can you please tell us.
Also it depends on who is conducting these tests. Pharmaceutical companies mage HUGE money off of Statins so they have incentive to diminish the results of a natural substance that you don't need a prescription for like Fish oil. I believe the pharmaceutical industry is very manipulative and their last concern is people's health over profit.
They have behaved the same way in the COVID trials.. belittling any treatment with low profitability.. even manipulating data and regulatory agencies
I totally agree with you, pharmaceutical companies would fight any alternative which might give healthier life to people away from their patent huge expensive medicine
fish oil is big business lol
@@TonyT-fz8od agree ..and this might be the cons side of the omega 3
Yea, but the supplement industry also has an interest to sell you fish oil for example, which is a waste product otherwise.
Been taking Omega-3 supplements for 10 years and plan on continuing everyday for the rest of my life. Excellent video.
Which brand ?
It would have been interesting to look at inflammatory markers in these studies as well.
I dont eat any seafood at all, so i take omega-3 supplements on/off periods. My resting heart rate drops significant when I take the omega-3 supplements regulary, no questions asked. There is so big a difference, that it cant be a coincidence. I have even tested it when im stressed out, and it really works. We are talking about 5-8 BPM.
You nailed detailing everything, including the LDL increase information. Phenomenal channel.
Great information. Thanks, Brad for sharing this.
Thanks for sharing this valuable information Dr, very well explained.
I'm your newest subscriber.
Supplementing with fish oil has been incredibly helpful in reducing my joint pain. For that reason alone I plan to continue to supplement with fish oil. 👍
Great content as always!!
Great work, thank you!
I've been a big fish oil fan for many years. Thanks for reviewing the latest information.
More great thoughtful information...thank you!!
I know its much harder, but I would love to see more information on the benefits of EPA/DHA on brain function!
Been taking fish oil for almost a decade. I use algae oil now with all the overfishing issues. Tested my blood levels and my omega 3 is just outside the top of the range, and omega 6 is just outside the low end of the range. That’s a solid ratio lol
Good info thx.
How are you feeling healthwise with omega 3?
Can your recommend a good algal oil brand?
Am i the only one that has to turn the speed up to listen all the way through informative videos?
It is a constant dance between that and not missing out any important info
What incredibly valuable content
Great content as always 😀 thanks doc 😀
Nice video thanks dr ❤❤
Thanks for links to studies. I have been taking EPA/DHA on non fish (salmon) days for some time, I will continue to do so. Cardiologists seem to dislike EPA/DHA supplementation as it blunts the statin effect on LDLc and the disproven belief that EPA/DHA increases bleeding events.
Meta analysis papers, in my experience, are excellent at disproving the clinical effects of most theories as they often bundle poorly constructed studies (short term and low doses) along with the good. I advise anyone looking for a signal in the noise: don’t just read the abstracts or summations, look the study construction and results.
That wasn't a signal in the noise just more noise tbh
The best omega 3 source without heavy metal is algae oil. Best of all, it helps protect against over fishing.
Good episode. Could you please do some material about royal jelly ?
The issue with most omega 3 studies and subsequently meta analyses is the dosage is MUCH too low for an appropriate therapeutic effect. Unless a study shows a minimum dosage of EPA of 2 g (assuming it is EPA that shows benefit). This typically equates to roughly a couple of teaspoons or a tablespoon of liquid and often times 10+ capsules.
Dr., thank you for providing your personal supplement regimen. How would you alter it to suit someone who is on a one-meal-a-day diet? By the way, have you stopped taking resveratrol? Would you consider Berberin 500 mg a good replacement for Metformin? Thanks
Very interested in what are your thoughts on vegan alternatives like sea algae omega 3 and your personal diet aswell!
Thank you for such an informative video!
Besides of EPA +DHA content, heavy meatal, and third party test, what do you think about acidification? Should I get a blister pack type?
I might be missing something - if mortality rate benefits seem to plateau at 500mg/day, why did you choose 2g/day for you supplementation? If you're comfortable sharing, of course. :)
The risk of getting a heart attack is correlated with the amount of omega-3 you consume.. however in the event you do get a heart attack, the risk of dying from that heart attack remains the same over 500mg/day.. which means someone who doesnt supplement has a greater risk of dying in the event of a heart than someone who taking at least 500mg/day
In Scandinavia we drink a shot of cod liver oil every day. We have been rated the happiest people in world. Is there a correlation?
Happy people?
I assume, you haven’t seen the smiling faces of the poor people in Africa.
Diet Vitamin D to supplement the deficiency from the lack of sun
@@Ciupanezu1923 i got lithuanian and Slovenia. what do ya make stuff up?
Hello Dr Brad thank you for the informative video. What's your opinion on Krill oil. I currently take one which includes EPA and DHA. It also contains Antaxthin. I heard krill contains less heavy metals generally.
I've been wondering about Omega 3 recently, and Dr Brad delivers!
Im more interested in the brain and joint health, than heart health tho.
Personally i take 6000mg daily with 1000mcg methyl b12 (A recent study reported by us has demonstrated that combined supplementation of both vitamin B12 and omega-3 fatty acids together increases the levels of BDNF)
Dr. Paul Saladino makes an interesting argument. All of these studies on omega-3 supplementation are done largely on people eating diets high in oxidized and inflammatory omega-6s (industrial seed oils, seeds, nuts, etc). The greater amount of omega-3s does balance the high amount of omega-6s. But Saladino points out that there is zero evidence that omega-3 supplementation benefits those who don't have excess omega-6s.
The fact of the matter is all PUFAs are oxidative, even as omega-3s are anti-inflammatory. PUFAs can even oxidize in the body after becoming incorporated into the cell membrane. Too many PUFAs in the body means more oxidative stress than the body can handle and the endogenous antioxidants get used up. The body doesn't need large amounts of PUFA for healthy functioning. All the PUFAs we need we can get from pasture-raised and wild-caught meat.
Pseudoscience galore. Carnivore people are in a massive echo chamber. Just because one random guy on the internet says something, does not make it true. Hahahaha
@@Dan-xn1vl - The problems with industrial seed oils and high levels of PUFAs is not about the carnivore diet vs all other diets. Many other experts, doctors and scientists, have warned about this and most of them weren't advocating a carnivore diet. These aren't random people. They are professionals who have dedicated their lives to researching and treating dietary-related health issues.
@@MarmaladeINFP No no no. You said “ALL Pufas are oxidative”. That’s BS. No doctor or scientists say that. Yes, omega 6 soy in high quantities is harmful, but we’re talking about Omega 3. Perfectly healthy.
@@Dan-xn1vl no done, read his comments again. He was implicating excessive intake of oxidised omega-6 as being the problem and omega-3 being unnecessary if we were to reduce the omega 6 intake. Therefore it is irrelevant to his comment whether omega-3 are in themselves healthy or not. Capische?
@okrad.okrad No, they’re actually not. Keto-Carnivore-Paleo folk all recommend you stay away from Omega 6, even the most non-oxidized, fresh, raw, nuts and seeds. Oxidation makes it worse, but the question is about Omega 6 itself.
2:30 for once again the other studies that did not show much benefit, were they corrupted? That simply is a part of the factor of how we have to look at these things now when it comes to anything that could interfere with pharmaceutical financial gain. If you’re going to dive into this type of material you’re going to have to consider other opinions outside of the main stream .
I think one of the issues with omega-3 studies is getting a high quality source. Buy a good brand like Nordic Naturals and always store it in the fridge.
Great video. I've been taking 2 grams a day for several years and will continue to do so (although I might switch to the brand you mentioned). This is purely anecdotal, but I seem to experience less muscle and joint pain when I take Omega 3.
There is one more variability to consider. Omegas from fish oil capsules have been shown to actually increase inflammation due to rancidity of the oils in some cases. I eat chia, flax, and walnute regularly instead.
After going through the recent NIH summary, I’m still on the fence with omega 3’s. One concern brought up was the increased risk of prostate cancer which may be related to rancidity.
Thanks a lot Dr. Brad , very informative as usual 👍I'm thinking of supplementing with algae oil
Thank you
hi doctor, can you talk about Coq10 and multi vitamins please
Awesome thanks
7:32 my understanding is that LDL is not inherently bad until its Apo B100 protein becomes glycated by glucose in the blood and then undergoes further oxidation...it’s the small-dense oxidised form that’s bad. Surely the answer is to minimise glucose in the diet and not worry about high LDL?
Basically keto
@@alicantuncer4800 yes keto is best, but even folks who don’t want to go to that extreme will benefit tremendously by minimising intake of sugar and refined carbs. But this is on a tangent to the thrust of my comment, which is to point out that LDL’s the victim not the villain in this story.
Hi Doc, great content. So Omega 3 , poly unsat, I worry about rancidity caused by the storage and transport time of a supplement that could have damaging effect. I realize the uno brand is sealed , but I still worry. My current solution is to buy cod livers in cans. I still worry about the same thing . What's your view on this aspect of these unstable oils ?
Hello Brad, very good, but it's not clear why you specify extra virgin olive oil as any kind of olive oil seems to be mostly oleic acid. Do you reccomend the extra virgin for other things it contains?
Would be interesting to also understand if or how the ratio of omega3 to omega6 affects cardiac health. is omega3 intake a relative or absolute value.
It is both.Omega 6 to omega 3 ratios are important as is omega 3 deficiency.
can you discuss the role of TMAO in coronary artery disease. and how it is created in the body. thanks for your videos
I’m eating fish at least 2 times a week ( sardines, alaskan salmon) instead of taken pills.
Keep eating your sardines 🧅🍅🧄
Are there any studies / findings about:
- Selen
- Uridin Monophosphate
- L-Theanin
- Green Tea Extracts (whatever that means ...?)
- Rodiola Rosea
I would be interested in such, as there are lots of (often causeless) rumours going around the net and I' m really ethusiastic about your brilliant researched videos and the presentation you do, comming to the important points (!).
I also love the different points you cover (safety, effect, side-effect, etc.) and how accurately you separate the findings of the studies from your personal decisions
Thanks a lot for all the work you do (as I know it is really hard work to read, understand and summarize those studies) :-))
There is also the the third often forgotten long chained fatty acid: DPA. I read a few years back that DPA is actually more potent than both EPA and DHA. If that claim is true then that's definitely worth to consider.
I currently take krill oil since I very rarely eat fish. Krill oil is absorbed better and is more potent.
Does krill oil have DPA? Lately everyone is saying most omega-3 oil in capsules is randid, oxidized.
The best omega 3 foods is wild caught salmon, pasture raised eggs,grass feed beef,caviar.
@Fred Forbes you mean wild caught clark bars.
@Fred Forbes Most people i know just don't like fish, it just doesn't taste good and smell atrocious.
I ate great value walmart wild caught packed in water, salt, from Thailand. Omega-3 around 2000mg. Tasted good. Skin on sardines
I take fish oil because it helps my brain functioning not even for heart lol.
wtf u talking shit eat 5 eggs per day and you get 250mg its enough go fuxking training eat a lot meat and its good wtf u talking oil
@@justdonis1891 you write like your brain already suffers from atherosclerosis, presumably because of that strange diet of yours

Labdoor is great for third party testing on vitamin and supplements
Nice Dr Stanfield, I try and get most if my omega 3 from seafood low on the food chain. The trouble with Omega 3 supplements is that many are rancid by the time you consume them. Store capsules in freezer.
I stored all softgels(oil inside) and vitamins B in the fridge.
Thanks for the information! What do you think of Zinzino's BalanceOil (Omega-3 + OliveOil)?
@Dr Brad Stanfield, how do you feel about vegan omega 3s? I have a fish and shellfish allergy unfortunately but take a vegan version....
Very informative, I have been taking it for a while now.... It also helps in muscle recovery for gym and martial arts activities...
Heeeey, I am under the same impression. I practice several Combat Sports too. Once our Boxing coach killed it with a grueling leg routine and after the 3rd of 4th day of DOMS and having checked for supplements to help it, I tried increasing my actual dose of Omega 3 and the next day my legs felt considerably better, less sore, so I kept it for some more days. I up my dose of Omega 3 more often, when I feel sore and seems to be great advise. Cheers from SJ, Costa Rica!
Skip the fish, go directly to the source, algae for your EPA & DHA. How do you think fish get it! I’m happy taking my Vegan Omega-3 capsules. 👍 Dr Brad’s advise on supplementing omega 3.
I am a big fan of fish oil. Great breakdown of the Omega-3 studies. Thanks for reviewing the latest information.
Hi, Dr. Stanfield, do you have statins for yourself ?
Are you aware of the dangers of Lp(a) and how there are no medications for it except some Niacin and Flax seed ?
Thanks. Hoping to hear from you.
@Fred Forbes what shall I ask you? And why ?
He responds to many people and has to me in the past as well.
Hi, I don’t take a statin personally. My blood cholesterol levels are good, but if they were questionable then I’d likely take a small dose of a statin.
In the large scale trials, niacin doesn’t seem to offer the same protection against heart attacks compared with statins.
Hope that helps
@Fred Forbes Don't be rude ! He has his own professional life and his family with a newborn child. He is not entitled to answer my questions always but let's be more thankful to him for the loads of free information we have at our access because of his efforts.
Best wishes from India 🇮🇳
Please, be kind to others, 2020 was already a bad year for us all.
@@abc_cba I second the motion.
This Man Talks Like A Genius...
I've been taking EPA/DHA (between 1g and 2g per day and a mix of fish and krill) for ten years or more. My LDL is through the roof (190), but the doctor wouldn't dare suggest statins since everything else measures great and I'd just say, "show me the oxidation, then" and he can't...
And your CAC is probably zero.
If he used Boston Heart, you could check: bostonheartdiagnostics.com/test/oxpl-apob-c-2/
@@Rhythmandosyche I've had an oxidized LDL test (at my request), which was 40 μg/L (lab upper limit is 235) and my GGT (glutathione scavenger pathway) is 15, so there doesn't seem to be major oxidative stress going on. I don't think the high LDL is from the fish oil - I anyway take a shedload of supplements; everything Brad takes and more (except Metformin, where I take Berberine) - it's probably more to do with my low-carb diet. But the doctor is happy so far, and so am I.
Ref omega 3 and the brain. Prof Smith at Oxford with the Vitacog study showed that EPA/DHA WITH Vitamin B - mainly folate, B6 and most importantly B12, reduced brain shrinkage in people over 60 by about 40% . This was shown by brain scans which showed the memory centres of the brain were being preserved. Note** vitB does not work by itself, same with omega 3, only Together. Brain shrinkage when over 60 is about 1% a year and more in dementia patients. The EPA/DHA used was equiv 2.5g of omega 3. The video on youtube did not mention amounts of vit B.
Since this video was made a meta-analysis came out in 2021 finding that EPA alone is significantly more effective at reducing CV risk than EPA and DHA together.
excellent information you share with us, Doctor. I ingest a good quality fish oil ; I also take castor oil and olive oil to sum up my trinity of oils.
Thanks again. I DO take cod liver oil.
What about Red Krill oil? Given it's better absorption?
Good question, i've been taking it for 10 years so I'd like to know too
At 5:47 the study on the screen that's underlined and that you are reading aloud says: "INCLUSION criteria. You say EXCLUSION criteria.
Took fish oil for years. After reviewing your other omega-3 vids months ago, I decided to ditch the pills and stick with several fish meals a week (salmon, sardines and occasional white fishes). Trying to remember the other issues. There was pill oil rancidity, but it looked like you picked a good brand. Also, I don't recall any studies taking into account people eating a low-carb diet that eliminates most sugar, grains, and seed oils (a diet that I'm counting on reducing chronic inflammation and CVD; I certainly feel and look better). Please correct me if I'm wrong about that.
You are correct.
Do you eat canned fish or is it all fresh?
@@betsyrocks Frozen wild salmon (can't beat the price at Aldi), canned sardines (in olive oil or spring water; olive oil sardines tastes better to me), the other fish frozen, too. The kids love the skin-on salmon, so it must be good!
Do you guys know what about berberine + excersise? Is it similarly problematic than metformin + excersize or there is a different mechanism for berberine?
That’s something I would like to know too..
I am late to comment. I have friend who is doc and he prescribed me generic lovaza which he also takes. He believes as I do that it is much more purified than non prescription versions. I take 2 a day as does he and not the 4 aday that you would take for very high trigliserides. What do you think? As a doc you can also get lovaza probably for less than fish oil. I follow you for a long time and would like to know what you think. Obviously it is off label but it is considered a good and safe product.
Question: If your heart rate is low [40-60] and your overall health is good [no vitamin deficiencies confirmed with lab results], should you take a supplement? I get Omega 3 daily from walnuts and occasionally eat fish.
Dr Brad have you researced apoe status and do you put any importance on such finding regarding health span and longevity??
Dear doctor, recently I happens to read a reserch based article that omega 3 increase the risk of arterial fibration, stumbled upon this article through google search, can you please give us your take on it, I hope that is not for normal people
very interesting and unbiased, only scares me a bit that some studies suggest that combining EPA and DHA in a supplement may void any potential benefits for heart health. I dont know why that would be but I hope its just a study error.
I can see the myopic focus on Ω3 to the exclusion of Ω6 effects leading to ambivalent data... in the presence of ^Ω6, Ω3 is ineffectual.
In relation to cardiovascular disease, one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of heart attacks, is to reduce your calcium score. The best way to do this, is with vitamin K2 and vitamin D. These will do better for your overall cardiovascular and bone health. Though omega 3's do also have other benefits.
Most heart patients are on clopidogrel is it safe to take K2 with clopidogrel?
@@summer7529 that's a question for your doctor. Even though K2 is found in many natural foods, it may have some drug interactions which should be cleared with your doctor before jumping into any type of supplement.
How about eating a pristine diet and eating lots of greens with K1 that will be converted to K2?
RESPECTED DR I have a question for you. Please answer my question. Can I take one day fish oil and second day multivitamin ? I means can I Take fish oil capsule a day and multivitamin capsule the next day? Please answer
Have fried fish or fish in cans any DHA and EPA or is it destroyed or even rancid by the heat?
if it's not rancid already when you take it, once it gets into your 98 degree body it immediately oxidizes and is very bad for you. fish oil is basically antifreeze for cold water fish. we are not cold water animals. we are warm blooded mammals. don't take this snake oil, antifreeze, toxin.
Hey Dr Brad! What are your thoughts on vegan EPA/DHA supplements? They are more expensive than the fish oil options, but might be worthwhile to avoid the heavy metals. Would love to hear your thoughts on them. Thank you for the videos. :)
Flaxseed
@@TheB2big Flaxseed does not contain EPA or DHA. The omega-3 it provides is the C-18 omega 3, also known as ALA. While healthy, ALA is not nearly as potent as EPA and DHA. Our body can only convert a tiny amount of ALA into EPA and then DHA.
Algae oil is metal free only if the algae is grown in clean, unpolluted water. on the other hand, most fish oils from wild caught fishes from credible brands have the metal contamination removed via molecular distillation.
I would like to know your opinion on lipid degradation, and if this is tested on the supplement that you use.
I am taking Nordic EPA and DHA. Have you looked into this brand?
I supplement through eating salmon, sardines, vegetables that have omega three in them. thank you for the information!!
I have been planning to not buy my next batch of fish oil due to oxidation concerns. Instead I have been increasing avocado and planting plantain herb seed. If I can’t get enough I may get a smaller dose of fish oil and keep in a freezer or fridge?
You should always keep fish oil refrigerated toslow the degradation. Avocado oil only contains ALA, not EPA or DHA. The body can only convert ALA to EPA and DHA very inefficiently and not in sufficient amounts to meet the dietary needs.
So, If I eat a can of sardines a week, ???
I believe there was a study showing that a lot of these supplements had aldehydes. Did your third party testers check for that? I'd be too scared to take the chance without knowing for sure there were no aldehydes.
What do you think?
you are right to be skeptical. fish oil is a straight up toxin. snake oil more like it.
No, no supplements. Just the right diet. Using the right fats (extra vierge olive oil, organic butter, unrefined red palm oil) and avoiding the omega-6 fats (sunflower or soy). Have a can of sardines, anchovies in olive oil or wild salmon on regular basis. Avoiding refined omega-6 (mainly plant fats pressed from seeds) fats is even more important than just consuming omega-3s
Personally I’ve been taking EPA on top of a mix of EPA and DHA. The ratio is 3/1 EPA to DHA. I was told EPA is more responsible for the anti inflammatory benefits and also despite belief has great brain benefits too. EPA decreases neuro inflammation, which helps with anxiety and depression esc. Hopefully I’m doing it correctly.
some of the trials seem to mention EPA specifically, if there were non epa (or dha) omega 3. Omega 3 is too broad a term. We need to specify epa and/or dha, to say omega 3 is likely to mislead and have people looking to boost omega 3 rather than epa and/or dha. Omega 3 as a term should not be used interchangeable with epa or dha.
Every time I take fish oil supplements I get weird shiny squiggly light randomly appear in my vision. It will usually happen once per week. Any idea what causes this?
Question now is If I consume fish on regular basis, do I need to take omega supplement?
my n-1 annecdote : all metrics responded well to high quality krill oil at 1g epa/day
Thx for the post. 4 days / week, if I am not eating fish that day, I will take 2 grams of omega 3 from wild salmon in the evening.
Any opinion on LIPOSOMAL GLUTATHIONE (GSH)?
Before supplementing people really should work out there dietary intake from foods and aim for a lower relative Omega 6 intake whilst increasing there Omega 3 intake because the ratio the higher it gets the less effective the body is in making DHA and EPA....
I do not make delta 6 desaturase and have to take arachiidonic acid endogenous. I also have a problem with LCAT and have to take lechitin as well.
Hi doc. Have you considered about Vitamin B's (Vitamin B complex or certain Vitamin B forms) to be added in your stack?
Nutritional yeast are great for all B complex vitamins.
He does not like Vitamin B, it correlates to a higher death rate and we do not know why yet.
Thank you so much for all the responses. I hope Dr. Brad will cover these topics soon 😇
@@evab2132 what kind of yeasts? Can you recommend some?
Great question. I’ve looked into adding other B vitamins into my stack, however looking through the research I could not find a compelling reason to. I get enough from my diet. The only B vitamin I supplement is B3 (niacin and NMN).
Regarding B12, there’s an observational study linking high B12 levels to a higher death rate so that’s why I don’t supplement that.
Hope that helps
APOE ɛ4 allele and lower CSF Aβ42 levels were associated with less transport of DHA to CSF. Brain amyloid pathology may limit the delivery of DHA to the brain in AD. SOURCE: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4928349/
Given the above, will you still recommend taking DHA if you are an APOE ɛ4 allele ?
here we have "born 3" eggs, they feed the chicken flax seed and you get an egg that has .3 grams omega 3 (.6 omega 6) and is loaded with vitamin E which is vital for the body when it has to deal with polyunsaturated fat... heat will also oxidize poly's so with the egg you can gently cook it by boiling or poaching it... combine one of them a day, or a small serving of (gently cooked) fatty fish, with flax/chia seed and get your omega's the healthy natural way (not in a pill)
I have been using high quality omega 3 for years. I had my bloodwork done. recently. The doctor said my good cholesterol (hdl) was way higher than my bad cholesterol(ldl). I do not eat any fatty fish. I take a combination of epa/dha, but higher epa.
Algae based?
@@Listen2DeathMetal No, i use fish oil from MorEpa and sometimes Solgar. They are a bit more expensive.
Hi! It is also dependent on omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. If you have low dose on omega-3s and high dose on omega-6s, omega-3s won't work anymore. Damage is too much... There is a really good book about this stuff. It goes through hundreds of studies about omega-6 and omega-3s. James DiNicolantonio, Joseph Mercola - Super Fuel. You should check that out. 🙏 ...and greetings from Finland 👊
so if bloodwork shows a current bad ratio, you're saying taking the Omega 3's doesn't help?
@@sagebrushnv it's just a factor like many other things.
OP just added to the list, the ratio could be a factor.
I have been told to take 3500 mg for the best effect and so I take 2-1000 capsules twice a day and eat fish twice a week along with other supplements. The improvement on lab numbers is staggering.
What needs to be stressed more clearly is how much EPA + DHA is actually in your fish oil. Brands like Kirkland, for one example, come in 1000mg soft gels. However, they only contain 250 MG of EPA/DHA, 50 MG of "other" omega 3 fatty acids and the remaining 700mg is basic fish oil or essentially fish fat. Just a fyi
Please review what you have stated Dr. You first trial quoted DIABETIC patients so it should be totally discounted by ALL non diabetics. Therefore Omega 3 is probably highly beneficial. Especially when combined with Niacin.
agree. that is a totally different study. it's apples and oranges compared to general population studies.
