📕 Miniguide: Omega 3

[Steroidify_Rep]

The health benefits of consuming omega-3 fatty acids are widely known, the problem is that the general population consumes doses much lower than those recommended, so a correct supplementation will always be very useful, the problem is that all Omega 3 products are not the same.

:man:t3:*:microscope:Supplement needs:

In the scientific community there is an established consensus on what dose you need to take:

:grey_exclamation:500mg of combined DHA and EPA daily for healthy :running_man:t3: people.

:grey_exclamation:1000mg if combined DHA and EPA for those with risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.

:grey_exclamation:3-4gr combined of DHA and EPA for those who suffer from hypertriglyceridemia .

:memoifferences between products:

:exclamation:The main difference is that most manufacturers use synthetic fish oil in the ethyl ester form, which has a worse absorption, is not the natural form of Omega 3 and is more unstable (they tend to go rancid).

:grey_exclamation:Some manufacturers use plant derivatives such as alpha-linoleic acid (ALA), which does not have the same positive effects.

:grey_exclamation:The best way to find a good fish oil is to choose a brand that contains the IFOS © seal of quality.

I didn’t no this that’s really interesting information. Im not big on dietary supplements but omega 3 is proven. I believe that its just like said you have to get a quality brand.

If you are dosing over a gram I recommend a liquid version instead of gel cap.

Few things I tell everyone they need. D3, omegas, zinc, aminos during your strength work

 

[Bigmurph6]

I didn’t know you could purchase in liquid format atleast not in the store? Do you get it online

 

[Bigmurph6]

I use aminos but im going to start omega 3 again for heart health do you recommend a brand I know @TBU has a good brand

I use Thorne research. They are medical grade company. Many naturopathic docs use Thorne products. Not sure the code because I wholesale account. Carlson makes one and they are in vitamin shop, whole foods

 

[Kad1]

Carlson you can get at vitamin shop or whole foods

 

[Bigmurph6]

Im going to look at Thorne
I don’t recognize this name and I am looking for the purest raws to start ugm supps I have someone but if someone is better than im going with them and omega 3 p5p and others will be the first out I wonder if they can provide medical grade in bulk raws or atleast bulk ready made products.

I’ve been using EVL (Evolution Nutrition) for quite some time and appears it has all I need. Did quite a bit of searching and this company overall appears to dose their supplements sufficiently and has great reviews. I also use their multi-vitamin. Not very pricey at all for either.

Preaching to the choir, but wish it was mandatory for companies to show a lab test to confirm all the ingredients are optimal. There’s just so much crap out there. Besides these 2 I don’t currently take any other supplements aside from milk thistle for liver health.

Right now I hate all omegas but Kenny, I’ve been sorting omega blend liquid caps looking for leakers all night and the damn things are like gushers adding about double the work
