What is Fish Oil? Omega-3 Benefits & Side Effects

[SteadyAimer]

What a smart man

[slafoullouss]

What do u guys think about krill oil?

[ThePhatIndian]

Anything wrong with Optimum Nutrition's Fish Oil (in terms of concentration and purity, etc.)?

[BestPriceNutrition]

@ThePhatIndian it's like the others in that it is molecularlly distilled so it's not on the level of Minami. Hope this helps.

[keonihavea]

i love manami's epa formula. im allergic to most fish and im asthmatic. since i started, i use my inhaler less during my crossfit workouts and rugby training.

Someone said DHA is much more important than EPA. Others, like you guys, said EPA is more important. For those who told me that DHA is important is that our brains is make up of about 60% of DHA fat. And when needed, our body can easily convert DHA into EPA, is not as easy other way around. What do you think.

I consider myself as a healthy person with no health problem, however, I do want to improve my brain. What do you think I should be taking? More EPA or DHA?

[BestPriceNutrition]

@lauls85 we hate pitting them against each other as you need both. If you look at tissue in the body most of it is DHA, however the research is finding the functional effect of EPA to be greater especially w/ cognitive function. Also the body more easily converts EPA to DHA than the other way around (despite conventional wisdom). Check out the studies referenced on Minami Nutrition's site (they are peer reviewed studies). Bottom line is you need both, but more EPA. Hope this helps.

I like how all your videos are based purely on logic and science. Very informative indeed.

Just a lil' tip though. I have noticed in some of the videos you keep hitting the table with your hands. Not a big deal but the noise is a bit annoying.

[BestPriceNutrition]

@neotrixter thanks for watching and thank you for the tip (others have said the same thing) so I am trying to stop doing that.

[f3l0ny33]

Awesome info guys - your videos are tremendously appreciated!!!

[BestPriceNutrition]

@f3l0ny33 thank you for watching

[LarsGenius21]

Great info here. Thank You.

[BestPriceNutrition]

@LarsGenius21 Thank you for watching.

[omarthebj]

What do you guys think of megared krill oil and how it stands up to fish oils, and if would be a worthy alternative?

[BestPriceNutrition]

@omarthebj the problem with Krill oils is that it has been over fished and that has effected the quality, it is very cheap to harvest because of the fishing methods used. Also there is a lot of hyperbole about Krill oil being in a phospholipid form as opposed to the triglyceride form from fish oil, this is all marketing as there is no evidence to validate this being a superior form. Hope this helps.

@BestPriceNutrition Thanks John for the informative video. If you could make another video that compare different brands and explain common production processes that affects quality. I was wondering, I'm currently taking New Chapte's Wholemega. Should I use Minami instead or stick with wholemega? and are they comparable in terms of quality? Thanks

[BestPriceNutrition]

@khld1 New Chapter Wholemega is good however I do prefer Minami as they do not use molecular distillation (they never reach the high temperatures with the Supercirtical CO2 extraction). Also the amount of EPA and DHA per cap is so much higher which is nice. Thanks for watching.

[Weho2]

hello this is john and FUCKING CHUCK NORRIS!!!!

[BestPriceNutrition]

@Weho2 lol, I'll let Bruce know, he will get a kick out of the comparison.

[zippi771]

Minami is a great company!!!

[AntonSlizzardhands]

I'm allergic to all seafood and shellfish. Is flax oil my only option?

[BestPriceNutrition]

@AntonSlizzardhands that or there are companies such as Flora that make vegetarian DHA (algae based).

[RicardoManuel16]

Actually, new guy talked a lot and i liked it.

[BestPriceNutrition]

@RicardoManuel16 yes Bruce is very smart so I try and stay out of the way :)

[tdolan121]

Thanks for not appealing to the lowest common denominator. Love your work!

[BestPriceNutrition]

@tdolan121 thanks for noticing, not everyone appreciates that.

[SyntaxEddie]

Omega 3 Just eat it:-)

[freeze1305]

wow 21mins.....disliking and moving on jeez. Make it shorter!!!

[BestPriceNutrition]

@freeze1305 oh come on give it a change, there's lot of good info :)

[watchitnow17]

Great video, full of facts! ... also good save on the phone call haha

[BestPriceNutrition]

@watchitnow17 thanks :)

[jdc021]

Great video! I have found your advice inspirational, it has lifted my training to another level. The query I have is this, are you advocating taking omega 3 fish in addition to the Udo's choice dha 3.6.9 blend or as an alternative? If I could easily buy from you guys when I live in the U.K I would! I am still considering getting Insu pro shipped over! Many thanks for your nutritional tips!

[BestPriceNutrition]

@jdc021 really depends on your diet, if you need the extra healthy fats than we recommend adding Udo's Oil (original version), if you eat a lot of olive oil, coconut oil, etc... you can just go with Minami fish oil.

[jdc021]

@BestPriceNutrition Thank you very much for your reply! :-)

[jerrymedrano]

I heard fish oil makes your body odor increase or makes you smell like plain fish?

[Athrun000]

@jerrymedrano My girlfriend had fish oil for years... and she smell nice like flower...!!!!

[BestPriceNutrition]

@jerrymedrano never heard such a thing, I take it and have never been told I smell bad :)

[viciouspercent]

what brand would you recommend?

[BestPriceNutrition]

@viciouspercent Minami Nutrition

[FearTheVirtuoso]

very good video. thank you.

[UpalKashey]

thank you for providing great vids

[spot603]

My parents just bought 800 fish oil pills from CVS because it was cheap (don't have a job) lol Damn! I should have watched this video first )= What do you think I should do? Should I return them? I dont want to kill my liver lol

[BestPriceNutrition]

@spot603 well if you can return them, then you should. Sorry in most cases we would say the other stuff is fine and you can use it, however with omega 3s you really want to be selective.

[biguglyoatmeal]

Excellent information, gentlemen. Thanks very much.

[chris1p]

Where can I go to get more info on the reflux issues you touched on? Think I may have that issue...

[chrisstefanetti1]

yeh great vid fellas, very thorough. I also would like to know how much omega 3 you suggest having each day???

[BestPriceNutrition]

@chrisstefanetti1 the general consensus is that 1g of EPA & DHA per day is sufficient to maintain optimum performance of the cardiovascular system in most people. Other condition specific amounts include: Heart and Cardiovascular Disease Prevention = 1g EPA + DHA/day w/ high blood triglycerides = 2-4g EPA & DHA/day. Depression 1g (no DHA) day, Bipolar Disorder 1- 2g (no DHA) day as supplementary treatment with standard therapy

[ybbolb]

Thanks for for video!! So how much EPA/DHA do we need in a day??

[TheMRamstaff]

@ybbolb some say bout 1300

[BestPriceNutrition]

@ybbolb @ybbolb the general consensus is that 1g of EPA & DHA per day is sufficient to maintain optimum performance of the cardiovascular system in most people.
