PDF guide here: www.yogabody.com/omega-3-supplements-youtube EDIT ERROR: 2:42 should say 100 pills (not 200) in the bottle. Apologies for the confusion.
1. Bottle should be dark or opaque. 2. Source should be among fish, krill, algae. More on this later. 3. Cost per dose calculation. Epa + dha atleast 1g per day. 4. Red flag - ethyl esters, exp date, no boutique brands 5. Buy 3 month supply max. 6. Prefer smaller fish' oils, larger fish means more chances of toxicity. Krill and algae are pretty expensive, but more ethical.
Best video on this topic I've ever seen. I appreciate your thorough explanations and the fact that you aren't pushing any particular brand(s). Thank you!
No, you're wrong, the best information is what I am going to tell you " you can't trust what is inside these bottles until you leaving it to a chemist lab to check what really is inside every capsules!"
@@Reza-u1w From a consumer who does not have access to a “chemist lab”, the only trustworthy information about Omega 3 supplements is on vlogs like the YOGABODY, who gives us knowledgeable and helpful guidance.
You are one of the best presenters I've ever seen. Right now - this afternoon - I'm trying to pin down what to buy in terms of an Omega-3 supplement. Several other videos were hopelessly confusing; you told me what I need to know. Please do more of these.
According to Dr.Rhonda Patrick, fishoil manufacturers convert it to ethyl ester form to extract out the mercury in the fish...so-called molecular distillation. Since Krill is at the bottom of the food-chain, it doesn't collect mercury or much other toxins that need to be extracted out.
THANKYOU. I needed to learn the omega 3 confirmation. I’m a practicing omega 3 supplement and whole food consumer. Your video enlightened me to my betterment. Especially on the supplements. Respect ❤
As a medical provider- this was amazing and very helpful. Any chance you have a video similar to types of magnesium and benefits of each? Keep up the great work!
Magnesium Taurate or magnesium Glycinate are some of the best. The ones below are to be avoided: Magnesium sulphate Magnesium oxide Magnesium hydroxide Etc
The Herpes treatment solution channel on TH-cam @herbalistdoctorkingsley (HERBALIST DOCTOR KINGSLEY) is simply too great not to share due to its fast and effective outcomes. I saw massive development after making use of Dr. Kingsley's herbal medicine
I take sea buckthorn oil which contains omega 3, 6 and 9 and the rare omega 7. The latter is very good for skin health. Sea buckthorn oil also contains vitamin C, E and beta carotene along with many b vitamins and minerals.
As a scientist, I really appreciate the unbiased knowledge shared here! It would be amazing to see similar videos covering other supplements, like magnesium. I’ve heard there are various forms of magnesium, and it can be quite confusing to understand which might be most beneficial. Thank you for your work :)
This is so informative and very easy to understand. Hoping you keep on making this kind of informative content with different supplements, really helps a lot what and how to choose/buy properly.
@3:45 a dose of 2 pills/day from a bottle with 200 pills means a supply for 100 days, not 50 days. taking 4 pills/day would result in a dose of 2400 mg (2.4 g) of EPA + DHA
The recommended dosis for a healthy adult in a context of average supplementation is not a gram. But only 250mg. The key is regular low supplementation and not high dosage.
Luke, you are so amazing to watch. I love the energy you convey to us - a sense of genuineness that really reaches out to us. I have been watching your videos for some time. This was a very informative video.
A very helpful and informative video. Thank you. After feeling very tierd in the day I started taking OMEGA 3 SALMON OIL- 600mg Total DHA & EPA @ 3 soft capsuals twice per day. So total 1200mg per day. Great results with in 24 hours already!!! Then I decided to buy the MEGA OMEGA FISH OIL 200 ml bottle Fish oil - oil form not capsuals - 5ml DHA & EPA = Total of 13007 mg (13gram!) Please note the difference in the description of each fish oil bottle - I took that non capsual form for a week and my symptoms of tierdness returned and I am back where I started feeling low and tierd.
As a gardener I grow a weed called "wild Purslane" that is rich in Omega 3, in South Africa we have a bush called fat bush, also rich in Omega 3. Then there are Chia seeds that I use with cream for a pudding, rich in Omega 3. Not expensive at all, and totally natural and I love sardines.
Fish oil truly helped me reduced my sciatic pain. I learned that it was anti-inflammatory that's why I took it then I noticed my sciatica not too painful anymore. I took California Gold.
I only have the Triglyceride form of high strength Omega3s from Nordic Naturals in gel cap form. Excellent absorption. I rotate it with Krill oil from Sports research and other omegas 3-5-6-7-9-11 in a complex. Note: You need adequate bile and lipase output for optimal assimilation and absorption of omega3s. You need 1000mg for ageing brain and heart, and 1500mg for therapeutic applications. That's only DHA+EPA. Other omegas like 5-6-7-9-11 must also be kept in balance. It's not as simple ad just guzzling omega3s. Tip : Store your omega3s gel caps in refrigerator. Do not buy non-encapsulated omega3 oil in bottles, it will go rancid fast ! There are many brands, but Nordic Naturals triglyceride form rules. If you are looking to optimize liver, heart, brain health also consider methylated B vitamins, glyine taurine, methionine, carnitine, potassium, magnesium, zinc, essential aminos.
BRAVO!!! This was really infomative and I love when people talk about research and even share some of the sources. While you didn't share specific sources, you did effectively explain there are so many and , naturally, not everyone agrees. While all topics can be a bit overwhelming, you made it just slightly less so.
This video is absolutely amazing! I am subscribed to body yoga and it’s a favorite that is my go to for most things that I have questions about. You’re very easy to follow, understand and very nice to look at! Oops excuse this old woman🤭. Your sciatic video is an excellent instant relief for me. I just love rock the baby that ones fun and funny at the same time. You are an inspiration to many. Keep doing what you’re doing your one of my faves!
Thank you, Lucas It seems that we should also consider the level of oxidation while digesting the omegas And It seems that polyphenol oil sufficiently stabilises the omega-3 so they are able to make it all the way to our cell membranes where they play a crucial role In means of anti-inflammatory effect of omega-3 we also need it to oxidate the oil as slow as possible so the anti-inflammatory effect lasts as long as possible
Hi Lucas, great video. I am from India. Please guide as how much Epa & Dha is enough for a 53 year young woman 😊 and also can I take all three - fish oil, flax seeds and chia seeds? Thanks in advance.
truly well made video. he managed to talk in a balanced way about many topics in detail, like the differacne in bioavaiblity of epa dha and the omega 3 contained in sources like soy and chia seeds. thumbs up for the well done job
I think key points for choosing omega 3 are: 1. Sources - where the company sources their ingredients? 2. How they are processed? 3. Of course see the reviews but beware of paid reviews which are now a norm in the market. Boutique vs mass produce does not necessarily mean their products are bad.
Behind the scenes, the source oil is the same in most brands was what I was saying... for example you'll find Neptune Krill oils in nearly all the top sellers, algae oil has like 3-5 manufacturer. Doesn't matter whose sticker is on the bottle.
@@YOGABODY.Official My point is the sources are different e.g. extracted oil from New Zealand/ Australia vs. America or Europe. They have different farming practices etc.

Very interesting , i buy my EPA HDA from Holland and Barrett here in the UK ,not cheap ,but can be trusted .I use a small coffee grinder each day for fresh ground flax and chia seed. Great informative video thanks.
One more consideration in choosing which OMEGA-3 to buy is capsule size. I recently bought a bottle of Nature Made softgels that are an inch long and the largest that I've ever swallowed. They're so big that I have to follow them with food to get them to go down. Next time, I'm going to try to find something smaller, even if it means swallowing a few more. When shopping, I noticed a few brands with "half size" softgels. People who don't like swallowing really large pills might want to look for those.
Thank you for your concise thorough information on this topic! I deeply appreciate your ability to provide accurate data and application of the lesson to the viewer in a way that it can be put to work easily. I found your videos this week seeking relief from severe sciatica pain. You are e life saver when most practitioners only offer pills and surgery! Thank you SO much!! ❤
New Research! DHA/Atrial fibrillation: unless you have very little fish in your diet, diabetes or are African-American according to one research study, The increased risk of atrial fibrillation with DHA actually increases risk rather than decreases. They are now offering EPA by prescription as a result, although it's already available on Amazon. the reason we get more omega-6 fatty acids in omega-3 fatty acids in our diet usually has to do with the way our food is grown, greatly the amount of green versus grass in the diet of animals such as beef and chicken. And a lack of a chemical I'm only learning about now, DPA, seems to allow the body to turn EPA to DHA and back again, although I've only looked at one peer-reviewed research article about this so far. Meanwhile, if someone has already got atrial fibrillation, they shouldn't have DHA by itself without looking at the research first. It says that it almost doubles the risk of heart attacks from this condition. When you made this video, this information hadn't been published yet. it would be wonderful if you could add to it or make a new video to include the new information - and for me, I'm not going near algae oil.
Wouldn't it be better to get cod liver oil? It has omega 3s and also vitamin d and vitamin a. All you need to add is K2 and magnesium and you have perfect combination.
Great video, can you make a video about how to deal with flight or fight mode? Especially when night time. Been dealing with this for long time. Hope you can make a video on this topic. Love your content man.
Thank you for the clear and helpful video. Every time my Omega3s run low, I go through a similar process determining my next purchase. For cooking I mostly use avocado oil, also some olive oil and grass fed butter. Avocado is neutral tasting and has a high smoke point. Avocado oil is not at all difficult to find or expensive. Most grocery stores including Aldi have avocado oil; there are many brands on Amazon, mostly around 50 cents a fluid ounce. Unless you are deep frying that is affordable. Of course unhealthy chemically extracted oils are always cheaper than cold pressed oil but understanding their health effects, why make yourself suffer?
A good introductory video on omega-3 supplementation as it relates to their benefits and degradation. (Degraded or oxidized fish oil is now accepted by experts as not only less beneficial but more importantly as potentially harmful to our body.) However, this host may not have seen the most recent data that suggests that as much as 70% of fish oil supplements sold become rancid by the time of purchase. It is well known that even in glycerin capsule form fish oil oxidizes. The best way to avoid it is to buy it as a bottled liquid and not in the pill form which can conceal or mask the oxidative damage associated with rancid fish oil.
I found Irish sea moss not only gives you the omegas you want, but also a good source of iodine (something we lack in North America), in addition to other nutrients. I used your calculous and they are your best value for nutrients/$$$. Also highly sustainable.
You can eat the weed purslane, it very high in omega 3. Most of it is ALA and purslane is high in oxalate, though. Seems if you feed your chickens purslane, they will convert a lot to DHA and their eggs will be high in DHA. I dont mind eating a little bit of it when weeding my garden, but i couldnt eat a lot of it. I put flaxseed oil in my curried eggs, as the curry masks the taste, and have some of that most days.
I was surprised how good this video was. I got rasted Flax seeds. That good? Also I never kept any in refrigerator, they stay on table in those plastic closed bags. I guess I should put them in refrigerator?
I need to focus on my epa dha intake again. Thanks for the clear info. I like to add health costs into the equation of expenses down the road. Im grateful i can afford the algae oil, and that flax and chia are readily available in my grocery stores.
Hi there, I noticed you are mindful about Omega-3 supplementation-so awesome! Have you ever thought about testing your Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio? Even if you're already taking an Omega-3 supplement, it can be really insightful to see how your levels stack up. If you're interested, I'd love to share more details with you.
I could have sworn I was subbed to you but alas it says I am not. I have been looking into Omegas for a little while now because they are also supposed to be beneficial for depression, stress and S.A.D But man lemme tell you this will surely toss you down a rabbit hole lol. Good to see such an informative video (and without you trying to sell us!). We need more Bergs, Hubermans and Rockwood's in the world. Information on how to better your life, your health, and your well-being should ALWAYS be free. IMO anyway. Supplements, programs, products; they can be and should be paid to aid in research, tech, better products, testing, etc. But information on how to get started should always be something that everyone has access to despite how much they make, what their education is, what their status is, if they have a job, etc. Thanks for sharing, Lucas.
For years, I would source supplements by price. In retrospect, I feel pretty naive. This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on a supplement with no affiliate links or product promotion.
Just making videos to educate and help people get the best health is always our goal. No affiliates. No selling of supplements. Thanks for taking notice. Appreciate it. - YB Team
Thanks so much. It's so hard to see clear in the suplements! I really apprechate your help. Understanding the subject make me feel I have more power on my health and on what I consume!
I want to buy Omega 3 supplement due to my memory problem. Your video is good and informative. I wonder if white bottle is acceptable? Not the clear bottle but white one.
PDF guide here: www.yogabody.com/omega-3-supplements-youtube EDIT ERROR: 2:42 should say 100 pills (not 200) in the bottle. Apologies for the confusion.
Yes I spotted that 🙂
Algae oil, never fish oil. Get it from the source, they get it from algae before killed in Super Trawler nets and all the fish farms fish don't get it
❤❤❤❤❤
DHA is the real power house in Omega oil.
EPA is very limited in positive health effects.
How much DHA it has should be the first focus.
@@prioris55555sounds fishy
1. Bottle should be dark or opaque.
2. Source should be among fish, krill, algae. More on this later.
3. Cost per dose calculation. Epa + dha atleast 1g per day.
4. Red flag - ethyl esters, exp date, no boutique brands
5. Buy 3 month supply max.
6. Prefer smaller fish' oils, larger fish means more chances of toxicity. Krill and algae are pretty expensive, but more ethical.
Thanks for that!

magnesium citrate is excellent but needs to be taken with food
200mg of citrate helps me with insomnia at bedtime

Of course unhealthy chemically extracted oils are always cheaper than cold pressed oil but understanding their health effects, why make yourself suffer?
Many avacato oils are fake. Chosen brand is pure.
We are lucky in Europe, those supplements are good quality and very affordable.
A good introductory video on omega-3 supplementation as it relates to their benefits and degradation. (Degraded or oxidized fish oil is now accepted by experts as not only less beneficial but more importantly as potentially harmful to our body.) However, this host may not have seen the most recent data that suggests that as much as 70% of fish oil supplements sold become rancid by the time of purchase. It is well known that even in glycerin capsule form fish oil oxidizes. The best way to avoid it is to buy it as a bottled liquid and not in the pill form which can conceal or mask the oxidative damage associated with rancid fish oil.
But then every time the bottle is opened and closed it will oxidize more than the pill?
Fantastic. I have gathered lot knowledge about it and before buying definitely will check all this shbject. Thanking you very much.
Merci pour vos vidéos - claires, concises, précises
I found your videos this week seeking relief from severe sciatica pain.
Glad you found relief with our videos!

The big difference with krill oil is that it is better absorbed by the body, and it has Astaxanthin in it.
Im trying krill oil now, but the EPA DHA are low combined to 370 mg 🤨
@@Medoritchie You can’t compare it fish oil though as it’s better absorbed by the body, and it has Astaxanthin in it.
What a great video, as always ! Truly love your content, thank you, Lucas ! With much appreciation for your time and knowledge !
Thank you so much for your kind words and support!

Thank you Lucas, Now I can shop for my Omega 3's with confidence.
I found Irish sea moss not only gives you the omegas you want, but also a good source of iodine (something we lack in North America), in addition to other nutrients. I used your calculous and they are your best value for nutrients/$$$. Also highly sustainable.
no sea moss no good mite work for you but it over hype
Thank you good info ...1st time viewer
Question about calculation: if it is 2 pills per day and there are 200 pills in a bottle, would it be a 100 day supply? The video says 50 day supply.
Sorry, careless mistake... I was doing the math on all three bottles and we mixed up the math shown with / shown.
Thank you for your research and providing great information.
You can eat the weed purslane, it very high in omega 3. Most of it is ALA and purslane is high in oxalate, though. Seems if you feed your chickens purslane, they will convert a lot to DHA and their eggs will be high in DHA. I dont mind eating a little bit of it when weeding my garden, but i couldnt eat a lot of it. I put flaxseed oil in my curried eggs, as the curry masks the taste, and have some of that most days.
Good point
I was surprised how good this video was.
I got rasted Flax seeds. That good?
Also I never kept any in refrigerator, they stay on table in those plastic closed bags. I guess I should put them in refrigerator?
I need to focus on my epa dha intake again. Thanks for the clear info. I like to add health costs into the equation of expenses down the road. Im grateful i can afford the algae oil, and that flax and chia are readily available in my grocery stores.
You saved me at least 2 weeks of research! Thanks
you're welcome 👍

this was so useful;thanks
Nice video. Thks for sharing!
My bottle says wild Alaskan salmon Fish oil 1000mg. Omega-3-0. EPA-80 DHA-0 .15 cent per count 😢 I eat 1 can of sardines a day in olive oil
vege oil😂
Thank you for the clarity especially the numbers and amber bottle color.
Should you keep your Omegas in the fridge?
Yes, slows oxidation.
Same reason you keep any food in your fridge
Hi there, I noticed you are mindful about Omega-3 supplementation-so awesome! Have you ever thought about testing your Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio? Even if you're already taking an Omega-3 supplement, it can be really insightful to see how your levels stack up. If you're interested, I'd love to share more details with you.
@@Jantoené yes please share that information. Also, I recently started fatty 15.
I could have sworn I was subbed to you but alas it says I am not. I have been looking into Omegas for a little while now because they are also supposed to be beneficial for depression, stress and S.A.D But man lemme tell you this will surely toss you down a rabbit hole lol. Good to see such an informative video (and without you trying to sell us!).
We need more Bergs, Hubermans and Rockwood's in the world. Information on how to better your life, your health, and your well-being should ALWAYS be free. IMO anyway. Supplements, programs, products; they can be and should be paid to aid in research, tech, better products, testing, etc. But information on how to get started should always be something that everyone has access to despite how much they make, what their education is, what their status is, if they have a job, etc.
Thanks for sharing, Lucas.
I appreciate this. Thanks so much for the support!
You lost me at 4:13. If the bottle is 200 pills and a dose is 2 pills, wouldn't that be a 100 day supply?
That’s my maths as well 🤔
Can you plz make more review videos of vitamins n and supplements, it’s very helpful
We'll take note of this for future videos!

Definitely sticking to the Algae oil, the fish documentaries I've seen are very disturbing. I wish people knew how cruel eating animals is.
ok
A very informative video! Thanks
I spent 30 mins on this video, just b/c how can one have 200 pills only 50 days😂. Should be 100 days right?
You're right, it's 100. Sorry for the confusion!
- YOGABODY Team
😂 I can relate...me too
For years, I would source supplements by price. In retrospect, I feel pretty naive. This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on a supplement with no affiliate links or product promotion.
Just making videos to educate and help people get the best health is always our goal. No affiliates. No selling of supplements. Thanks for taking notice. Appreciate it. - YB Team
Thanks a bunch for your appreciation @billjeffries3648!

Am I the only one scratching my head as to how 200 pills is a 50 day supply?
4 a day , I guess?
0.5 dollar per day
It’s stated above by him that he made a mistake, should be 100 pills not 200.
200 pills become 50 day supply when you have 4 pills per day
I think you are because everyone else has taken the time to read the apology for mistake?
Thank you for the great info.
NoSeedOils....
Y?
Seed oils contain ALA, and the conversion rate of that in the body to DHA and EPA is really low.

Thanks so much. It's so hard to see clear in the suplements! I really apprechate your help. Understanding the subject make me feel I have more power on my health and on what I consume!
Informed choices are the best choices. Glad this video helped!

They’re not essential. Omega-1 fats are.
Could you please tell me what you mean. Thank you.😊

I want to buy Omega 3 supplement due to my memory problem. Your video is good and informative. I wonder if white bottle is acceptable? Not the clear bottle but white one.
Excellent Video on Omega 3, Thank you!
