Omega 3 has DHA and EPA. It has an active role in anti-inflammatory pathways. People taking 3 grams of Omega 3 a day had noticable strength and hyperthrophy compared to control group (30-50%, depending on muscle group). Considering that suggested Omega 3 to Omega 6 ratio in body is 1:3 while modern western diet pushes that ratio to 1:10 and in some cases it was noted as 1:50 then I highly think most people are highly deficient in it which shows through their inflammatory body responses.

Yea, it possibly increases atrial fibrillation risk.

The problem with supplements is that
>you have no gurantee what actually is in the pill, supplements are infamously poorly regulated because they're not medical products
>in case of fish oil, even if it indeed is unadulterated fish oil, it isn't a shelf stable product and goes rancid (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jan/17/revealed-many-common-omega-3-fish-oil-supplements-are-rancid)
>they make it easy to overdose on something you wouldn't feasibly be able to overdose with by eating food
>they lack other ingredients present in food that make specific nutrients safe to consume, like fiber in fruit slowing the absorption of glucose into the blood
Just eat salmon, sardines and atlantic mackarel.

Helped me with ldl but even those ldl hdl, tg thing is kinda outdated now since they find even more about ldl, small particle, big particle, dense particle. If youre worried about calcium in your arteries, control your blood pressure, do cardio to make your blood vessel not stiff, get more vitamin k2.

makes your breath smell like dead fish

only if you store it in the fridge

>>77342618
Is this actually true?

>>77342630
look into it

>>77342630
If you aren’t storing your fish oil and pre/probiotic in the fridge you’re throwing your money away

>>77342926
Placebo bullshit. It sits in a hot warehouse for days/weeks/months before you ever get your hands on it.

Literally just eat a tin of sardines every other day. Delicious high quality sardines. You can eat them straight outta the tin like I do, or make them into a recipe like fishermans eggs.

i had problems with my thumb joint for more than a year. after about 2 months of fish oil caps it went away.

>>77342560
I take it preventatively so I literally can't know

>>77342584
Does that mean something that says "Omega 3" is different that something that says like "Fish Oil Omega 3"?

I keep seeing the basednce on this going back and forth and stopped taking it since i heard it goes rancid (the thought is too disgusting for me) but if there is a way to keep it from going to shit i might re add it to my stack.

God bless the European Union.

I can attest to this somewhat, though I spam other vitamins as well. Using the nordic natural liquid omega made my knee clicks go away but took like a bottle and a half. I also was taking MSM and glucosamine at the same time though.

omega 3 can help with brain health because omega 3 is required by the neuro sheath as an insulator and anti inflammatory mediator.
it's unlikely to cause much change to the body though as almost all of the omega 3 needs of the body involve the brain.
so if you take it and suddenly your head feels better, sure it did something.
if you have secondary symptoms that suddenly feel better after taking it, you almost surely would have had chronic migraines, brain fatigue, etc that would also be noticeable and quantifiable.

the problem is even the most reputable sources of the supplement have vastly different variables every single day.
you have to buy reputable and check the dates (should be about two years out) and after that just hope it wasn't sitting in a warehouse at room temperature for three months before getting on a hot ass truck multiple times to sit in a store closet for two more months before finally being put on a shelf.

i think current studies show by the time it hits the shelf some of the supplements are already going rancid, by the time it hits your home and you get halfway through the bottle. more than half of what would be left would be going rancid.
it's a valuable supplement if you have low 3 dietary intake, but it's just not that high up the ladder for me.
if you eat eggs for instance (real eggs not the sterilized diet walmart eggs) you get relative okay amounts of ALA and EPA/DHA already and are unlikely to need a omega 3 supplement if you occasionally eat fish and other sources also.
Omega 3 stays in the body for up to 6 months, it's not used daily it's literally replaced daily in small amounts. Which is something a lot of shills don't tell you.
The omega 3 fats literally go rancid within your own body, that is intentional.
They go bad, they break down, and your body replaces them with fresh omega 3 fats every single day.
If you are severely deficient your next large omega 3 source is used instantly.

so personally
I low dosage omega 3 to save money and just learned to eat better. likelihood I would ever be deficient is so low it's basically impossible unless once again I just got unlucky with a batch and it's all bad in the capsule.
Which means the body simply cannot use that particular amount and has to process it to get rid of it or use it for other purposes.

Remember friend, supplements are supplements. If you have to take any amount at anything more than supplemental amounts.
You should just fix your diet or lifestyle.

>try to get them from real fish
That's fair, it's just that fish is expensive over here (Ireland). Despite this shit being an island, they never eat fish, other than fish and chips (unhealthy as fuck). This is especially weird for me because in my country we have a huge fish industry, sardines are a staple there.

I mostly eat meat over here, the only fish i get sometimes is canned tuna, but I can splurge a bit more for some good quality fish on occasion, will try to do that.

On a sidenote, this makes me wonder if some diseases are more prevalent in countries that don't eat fish due to that specific factor. I guess it's not easy to tie the health issues specifically to lack of Omega 3 in studies.

>>77343229
I'm a german/irish immigrant and my grandfather on moms side from Ireland said the same thing about his grandfather or some shit
>papa why do we not fish
>we cannot afford a boat
like wut ??

anyways going to what you're discussing, yeah there is some correlation to those health issues.
Japan for reference eats almost 3 times the fish than Americans do and they have quantifiably less diseases in relation to the omega 3 cycle.
However in recent years they also have a strong correlation with symptoms related to water pollution in direct correlation back.

remember law of diminishing returns, a minimal source of food weekly for a specific nutritional goal will do more for you than daily supplementation due to the nature of different transport mechanisms.

Most of these sorts of issues are a legacy of British colonialism. During the Potato famine, Ireland was exporting food. This is because the productive farms were owned by Brits who were selling the food abroad while people were starving next door. Similarly all the fishing rights were owned by Britain. Not sure if that is still the case today but the older folks probably still live according to these rules.

I have a half bottle of cod liver oil. The catch: the expiry label is december of 2024.
Be honest with me lads: should I continue taking it? It still smells fine as far as I can tell, was stored in the fridge

>>77343290
Yeah I talked with a colleague about it and she told me the same.

That being said, it will probably never be popular because there is a vicious cycle with this:

>People didn't buy fish
>Because it doesnt sell, fisherman have to raise the prices to keep afloat
>Now that prices are high, its selling even less

Sad, but it is what it is. I'm pretty sure if we ignore fish and chips, most Irish people go years without having fish.
