WHY ARE OMEGA-3s SO BENEFICIAL?
Omega-3 fats are a type of essential fatty indispensable for overall wellbeing. They support heart health by reducing triglycerides, lowering blood pressure and the risk of abnormal heart rhythms. They also promote brain function and development, enhancing memory and cognitive abilities, making them vital for all age groups.

Additionally, Omega-3s possess potent anti-inflammatory properties, helping to alleviate conditions like arthritis and improving joint health. They can even aid in mood regulation, potentially reducing the risk of depression and anxiety.

  • 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.

    One of the rare videos I watched fully. Clear way of explaining about omega's. Good accent makes it watchable..
  • @JonAS-MR
    I can’t get over how good your videos are. I’m not shopping for omega-3s but I watched the whole vid start to finish. Great job man.

    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!
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • @andinels
    That was one of the best informative videos that I've seen about vitamins. You're a star Lucas..... sharing this video with everyone! Thank you! 🙏
  • 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 ❤
  • @lockhandle8276
    What a professional!!! Dude you should become a presenter full-time!
  • @jtlon1
    Thanks. I really appreciate your advice and the quality of your videos is exceptional too. Small token of my gratitude.
  • @brandismartin
    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!
  • @twbishop
    @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
  • @shifaph3551
    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.
  • @moomin7461
    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.
  • @user-sm5wj8fh4p
    Finally! A video that gets straight to the point! Thank you so much. I'll be taking your advice on the next purchase. Thank you!

    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.
