We can't test in the UK but probably if we go private. Not sure. My supplements are: EPA 300mg DHA 500mg DPA 35mg Total omega 3 835mg. We take daily. Is that enough? We also have ground chia seeds, hemp seeds and walnuts daily too. We're wfpb with soya milk with no oil and meals out are minimal.
That's enough for sure. Recommendations are generally ~500 mg combined EPA and DHA.
Man I may be missing it but where the link to that supplement, and how many a day to take if that supplement
14:19 great question but the answer surprised me because in spite of his vast knowledge of omega 3s and omega 6s, he couldn’t be more wrong about farm raised vs wild caught salmon. The ALA of farm raised fish is off the charts higher in the farm raised fish not to mention the increases in heavy metals, etc., etc. The information is out there. In all of his vast research I don’t understand how could have missed that. Simply Google it.
What’s the brand of omegas does he take
What if you bulk load omega 3 rich foods in the morning and lets say you waited till dinner to consume omega 6 would you increase your conversion?
what i currently do is, for lunch, i add sunflower oil to my pasta and i take 2 capsules of fish oil. but my question is: should i take the fish oil for dinner? so that it's far away from the omega-6, since you say they compete for absorption.
No, ALA competes for conversion with omega-6. If you're taking EPA/DHA directly, then there's no concern.
What brand was algae was it?
Dr Tim Radak has a brilliant video on RUclips on whether or not vegans need to supplement with omega 3. I have been reading about and listening to talks on this subject for several years. I do not believe people need to supplement with DHA and or EPA or eat fish. Many people live healthy lives without both and it all has to do with your general diet profile. For me it’s all bunk.
That is a really bad argument. Just because it works for many, it could not work for all. Sucks if you are one of them.
Their is a lot of genetic variability how much you can synthesize on your own. Especially nordic-europe men seem to be bad converter, even with a good 6/3 ratio. A (biased) popular german nutritionist argues this might also be the case for arachidonic acid and it could be favorable to supplement this.
I don't eat fish, so I take a small amount of DHA / EPA (maybe 1 gram per week) and let the debates continue.
You should check your omega 6 to 3 ratio first but consider taking more. There is a prescription form, and I am usually not a “pill” pusher but it can provide you with the highest quality of omega 3 (DHA and EPA) that is available. Bill Harris is a great source for information on it. Look him up on RUclips.
I think the daily requirements depends on baseline omega 3 levels. I will soon do the omega 3 HS index and then adjust my supplementation according. It is a long term test reflectint roughly the last 90-120 days of DHA and EPA
"Reduction of risk of cardiovascular event??? Really?
Seaspiracy documentary stopped me eating fish....a few years ago...
Get tested, and by the way, INSIDE TRACKER!
Makes me question if this is just one big ad or if the information is actually legit..
You can test your 03 index with omega quant.
@@TheProofWithSimonHill the subtle message is that you should get tested before doing any health intervention, I guess?
I appreciate your content and right to monetise, but it's a sliding scale towards Huberman (he's taken AG1 for 10 years and loves the taste, apparently) or Dr Oz.
In my opinion walnuts actually worsen your ratio if you try to achieve a good ratio (lets say 2:1 omega 6 : omega 3).
The only way to achieve a decent ratio would be to consume not much fat but macadamia, flax and chia. Some olive oil, high-oleic canola oil, hazelnuts and avocado in moderation.
That's super restrictive. I tried it, it's not fun.
Unless you drink flax seed oil like crazy to compensate the omega 6 intake, which is also not fun...
I believe 4-1 to 8-1 for omega 6 : omega 3 intakes seem appropriate from the studies I’ve read.
