Spoiler alert: there are plenty of ways for you to get the good stuff without having to eat a load of mackerel * sigh of relief * 😬 Got any more questions? Let us know in the comments below 👇
You are a fraud - you represent Salmon farmers. Stop misguiding people into buying farmed POISON. DW has made a documentary on Norwegian farmed Salmon and they even provided test results. Its sad people fall for these scams.
The question is the dosage you recommended is 3g of fish oils and somewhere between 1000mg to 2000mg of EPA & DHA combined B U T the product you showed in the video “Myprotein Essential Omega-3” has only 300mg of Omega 3 which is 180mg from EPA and 120mg of DHA and the recommended dosage is 1 soft-gel. I’m confused. Should we just consume 5 soft-gels everyday ?
I suffered from severe unpleasant life-destroying depression from the age of 14 to the age of 41. At the age of 40, I started taking Omega-3 and after 7 months it started curing my depression, i haven't suffered a day of depression in 19 years. I wish I had been given Omega-3 When I was a child, I would have had a completely different life. Omega-3 also cured my sensitivity to the cold and my painful joints, which had meant I couldn't walk properly and it cured probably a dozen other more minor symptoms. Thank you Omega-3.
Thx for an exelent teaching. One thing… The balance between omega 6 and 3 is also of utmost importancy and this ration us ussually way off in farm fish since they get a lot of omega 6 in their food. Use Wild caught fish only. ❤️
Nearly everything in this video is accurate! However, only omega 3 is essential as it can actually convert to omega 6 also. And farmed salmon also has a high concentration of omega 6 which somewhat counteracts the benefits of the high omega content within.
Thanks mate. Farmed salmon is higher in omega-6 than wild but it seems likely that total omega-3 intake is more important for health than an omega 3: omega 6 ratio (a concept that doesn't seem to have any evidential basis in the literature). I'm very interested in what you've said about n3 conversion to n6... by any chance could you share a citation to this, please. I'd like to read up in case there's something I'm not aware of
@@rkirwan1 anecdotally ive had more luck sorting out the ratio rather than just megadosing the omega 3 content of my diet. I'll have to remind myself of the author, but basically the lady that 'wrote the book' on omega 3 and the people of Crete cited a lot from studies around their population where the ratio was more favourable. I would also speculate that focusing more on the ratio would be of benefit if by matter of incidence you are limiting potential toxicities associated with high omega 6 plant oils etc. Sorry for the lack of correct wording its very late for me and way past my bedtime 🤓😂
@@rkirwan1 this is the omega book, I'm sure you can find a free way to view it but: 'The Omega Diet: The Lifesaving Nutritional Program Based on the Diet of the Island of Crete' And as for the 3-6 conversion, I recall reading it in an old biochemistry textbook in uni. Not much help, but it may have been erroneous as it was never listed anywhere else :/ Out of interest, would you speculate that high omega 3 levels within a cell have allowed us to have marked health improvements, by altering gene transcription, or by providing a cleaner substrate for metabolic machinery within the cell? Interested to hear your thoughts, considering not many people know much about fats despite their immense value within the diet
@@carnivore-muscle not at all mate, I appreciate the response. I totally agree with you on the other associations of lower n6 intake. Generally, diets that have lower absolute levels of n6 are like that because of low intake of processed foods which are often full of refined oils high in n6. It makes elucidating the effects of the specific fatty acids themselves quite difficult...there's a lot of other nutritional noise. There's definitely some merit to what you've said about focusing on the ratio in terms of the food environment today...which unfortunately sucks...
@@rkirwan1 Completely agree. Thanks for the reply. Keep up the good videos on nutrition, so many topics to cover and misnomers in the industry that people often misinterpret on the interwebs! :)
3:34 Wait what? Mackerel is the most delicious fish on earth. You just need to salt it, pop in on the grill and serve it with some rice and (instant) miso soup. I can eat that all day.
I make a "tuna' fish salad and substitute mackerel or sardines for tuna. When I add diced pickles, celery, red onions, and jalapenos I really can't tell the difference. I also add a few tablespoons of Siracha/mayo mix. So good I actually look forward to having it in a whole wheat pita sandwich. Very low mercury too.
sounds disgusting but if you blend sardines with orange juice and just take it as a "shot" you don't even taste it enough to make you vomit. I like to do it in the morning to wake myself up.
Do we have sufficient omega 3 in Almond, chia seeds, flax seed with all DHA EPA?? Please suggest sources for vegan. You are best guide for gym lovers sir.
So almonds and most tree nuts (other than walnuts) aren't a source of omega 3s. The omega 3 in chia and flax seed can be converted to the long EPA and DHA form but the conversion rate is very low and supplementing with a direct source of EPA/DHA may be beneficial. At the moment, the only vegan source of EPA and DHA is algal oil.
Try taking with a meal or cut the capsule open and mix it with your food. Some suggest that you put the capsule in the freezer to lessen the burps or taste. I cut it and mix it with Chocolate milk no problem. I just bought some vitamin with omega 3 gummy form for a friend.
It has been determined that the amount of omega 3 in the body of those who drink wine regularly is high, but the reason for this is not understood. Here is my assumption: Drinking wine with fish can lead to a synergistic effect. If you are a wine lover, take omega 3 supplements or eat fish regularly. The combination of wine and omega 3 can interact wonderfully for your health. Fish produce omega 3 to survive in cold deep waters. Take advantage of the synergy of wine and omega 3 to increase your endurance against cold water and cold weather conditions. Fish produce vitamin D and omega 3 to survive in deep cold waters. Vitamin D and Omega 3 may be the secret to survival. Taking a shower with cold water, swimming in the sea on a winter day can activate the defense mechanism and increase your body's desire to survive and thus encourage it to produce new substances.
So you say the science points to taking 1-2g of EPA and DHA daily but on the myprotein website your essential omega 3 product says there's 300mg per capsule and to take 3 daily. Why is the website suggesting a sub optimal dose?
300mg per capsule multiplied by 3 is 900mg per day. Which is a little short of 1g(1000g). So u are technically taking 1g per day as he suggested scientifically.
Spoiler alert ⚠️ Myprotein Omega 3 suplements contain high amounts of Omega 6 from filler SoybeanOil. It's stated in ingredients, but you maybe not aware what it means. As you're taking Omega 3 purely to improve the ratio of Om3 to Om6 you can forget about any benefits after taking this one.
I read that over 600mg of combined dha and epa is risky to take. Why are there so many sources out there saying don't take more than 600mg, do I take a risk if I take more than that dosage?
I would say eating fish is really healthy. The problem is that the research for fish oil is weak. Studies show that it does not work against e.g. heart issues. Maybe it has some effect on the brain but I also think that fish is better. Eating fish (which comes with protein and many other nutrients) is not the same as taking fish oil capsules.
The capsules also have a poor absorption rate. The body absorbs omega 3 fatty acids 3x better when eating fish. Eating a can of sardines at least 4 time a week would be a better option.
Genuinely, that's a question I don't think we have an answer to from the research available. Both have different functions in the body so I think looking for 50/50 is prudent or potentially more EPA than DHA. We definitely need more research before we can say this with more certainty
DHA van increase LDL cholesterol. EPA seems to be the most effective of the two. Get a supplement that has this in spades. Make sure additionally the oil is not oxidized, because then it's toxic rather than helpful.
Since I started taking some Omega 3 supplements and my limbs started hurting a little, good to know that it’s not connected but… WHERE IS IT FROM THEN???
Sorry I'm a bit lost on the daily intake consumption - 1.6grams per kilogram of whey daily? I happen to be 70kg's, how do you obtain the 28gram figure? Please share the calculation, thank you
I am just guessing here but I hope it helps. The optimal range of protein ist between 1.6-2.4 g/kg. In ur case, I assume, they just took the middle and used 2 grams. 70kg*2g= 140g of protein, spread out into 5 meals a day. 140g/5=28g of protein per meal. Hope it helps.

That's true for all supplements. Problem is most can't get all their nutrients just from foods.

The optimal range of protein ist between 1.6-2.4 g/kg. In ur case, I assume, they just took the middle and used 2 grams.
