Are you confused when it comes to buying omega-3 supplements? You know they’re good for you, but with so many options available, how do you know which is best for your health and your wallet? This video will help you make a more informed decision.
Omega-3 fats are essential for your heart and brain health, your mood, anti-inflammation, and more. And while most health practitioners would agree on the benefits of supplementing with omega-3s, the wealth of options available online, in pharmacies, and health food stores, vary wildly in price, potency, and quality. So, if you’re spending hundreds of dollars a year on these lipids, you want to make sure you’re making a good choice.
In this video I’ll help you get a better understanding of what to look for when choosing an omega-3 supplement, the key differences between sources, label red flags to watch out for, and crucially how to get the best value for money.

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.

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!
Wah Bhai. Badiya 👍
Which omega 3 supplement would you recommend?
Get your math strait, dude.
Thanks!
Underrated content, zero bias, only knowledge.
Thanks for the nice feedback!

One of the rare videos I watched fully. Clear way of explaining about omega's. Good accent makes it watchable..
Thanks for your support!
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.
@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
Yep! Even if this bottle provides 50 days supply, the daily cost should be $49 / 50 = $0.98 / day, not $1.02 per day lol.
Yeah.. I thought something was wrong with me.. it should be 100 days indeed
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.
is omega 3 lower effect compare to fish oil?
Why you dont buy omega 3?
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 ❤
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.
Thank you for your kind words! We appreciate your feedback!
- YOGABODY Team
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!"
@@user-co9ck3ob6p 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.
HI does krill oil have the same high levels of Mercury etc?
What a professional!!! Dude you should become a presenter full-time!
Appreciate your kind words!

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.
is it good for skin? hyperpigmentation to be specific! i m buying it for that sole reason only is it worth it?
is it good for hyperpigmentation on skin? i have heard it’s great for stretch marks also?
The best!
@dailybuzzxx2973 No, omega3s do Not target hyperpigmentation. For that niacinamide, GSH, vit C, vit E.
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.
Thanks for your support, Shifa!
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.
Thank you! As always, such a great job breaking down the information. I learned so much!
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! 🙏
Thanks for your support, Andrea!
fish oil.. not vitamins
This is so concise, helpful and appreciated. I can’t wait to start my certified online stretching course with you later in the year.
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.
Excellent video. This was so very helpful! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Really appreciate you sharing this Lucas.
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!
👍
Thanks. I really appreciate your advice and the quality of your videos is exceptional too. Small token of my gratitude.
Thanks for your support!

Liebe Grüße aus Österreich😊 bin auch hin und weg😊
Thanks for this concise yet apt video.
Extremely comprehensive, thank you!
Thank you for the clarity especially the numbers and amber bottle color.
Just stumbled across your video ... wow!! What great info and i sight .. i really appreciate your honesty .. I'm a subscriber now!!
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.
I might try it. Do you know the best brands? I have dry skin still, despite everything!
Thank you, Lucas! Very informative as always!
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.
Thank you for your kind words!

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!! ❤
Your kind words mean a lot!

Great video. Seen many on this topic. This one is the best. Thanks.

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 good info ...1st time viewer
Thank you for your research and providing great information.
Fantastic. I have gathered lot knowledge about it and before buying definitely will check all this shbject. Thanking you very much.
So well explained. First time watching your video but I subscribed without knowing your channel content. Thank you!
Hope you can learn more on health and wellness through our videos! - YOGABODY Team
Very Excellent Education Video. I call not only educational video but your good feelings for human kind. Salute to you. All the Best.
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
magnesium citrate is excellent but needs to be taken with food
200mg of citrate helps me with insomnia at bedtime
Ah yes magnesium is another one of those crazy supplements where there are like 30 types and each one does something different haha.
The Herpes treatment solution channel on RUclips @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
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!
Thanks a bunch for your appreciation @yvonnegarman3876!

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
👍
How do we apply this advice, exactly?
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
Glad you found the video informative.

One of the best buyer guides I have ever sean on youtube.
Awesome information on omega 3, appreciated :)
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.
Which supplement? I have sciatica too
Excellent information!! Thanks a million for sharing!! ❤
I found your videos this week seeking relief from severe sciatica pain.
Glad you found relief with our videos!

Cod Liver oil & organic Flexseed oil coldpressed ...
Highly informative! Thank you.
Merci pour vos vidéos - claires, concises, précises
Flaxseed flour called Farinha de Linhaça is popular here in Brazil.
Chia seed flour is less common but I still see it quite a bit. The flour forms are probably better to mix in liquids like yougert.
Such an insightful video, thank you so much!
Another HIT!!🙏🏽🌷
Thanks for making really helpful video 👍

Thank you for this video. Good information.
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.
Wow -- lots of information, and thank you!
Love it. Excellent video. What are your thoughts on basil seeds. Thankyou ❤
Great guide! Subscribed because of this video.
I live on a small island, surrounded by sea, and unfortunately it's becoming more difficult to get seafood. Seafood is becoming very expensive. I still eat fish once or twice a week and add tuna to my salads. However, very little of this is local and they're still expensive compared to other food. It's scary to think what's going on within the food industry.
Fun fact: One time I bought more than what I could consume during the whole summer, and didn't keep them in a cool place. Lets say... my intestines were not happy 🤣
This was an amazing explanation and breakdown. Thanks a ton!
So glad you found it helpful!

Very very informative video. Thanks.
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.
Good point! I've actually never gotten my hands on any...
Best omega 3 video I have seen. Thanks

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!
Great video, as per usual. Thank you. Any thoughts on seeking a supplement with phospholipids, that usually come with krill oil?
Very useful message from you sir, thank you
Excellent informative video!!!
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.
Very interesting and useful thanks a lot

THIS IS SO FKING AMAZING, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! NO BS NO GREEDINESS IN TRYING TO SELL YOU THINGS.
Thank you for sharing so valuable information.
I needed to know how to choose between 2 brands and now I know that the cheaper one is not really cheap. It contains less active ingredients.
Comparing some bottles of “the same” vitamins, I understood the price difference. This is so liberating.
I know how to choose now, regardless of the brand.

Sooperb explanation.Thank u.
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.
*Seven Seas Omega 3 capsules is the best brand; this isn't up for debate* 😂😂
Really intresting!! Thank you
