I love this channel!
So glad to see that Braggs has started selling DHA EPA, now i dont have to worry about getting counterfeit junk made in China and distributed through the USA with all the thoughtfully packaged trappings of a small company that really cares LOL>
I saw a doctor that advised big doses of EPA/DHA daily (4g/day was the most effective) against depression, he also said that it only worked for people who had big inflammations issues (CRP). For people with no inflammations, he said it made their depression worse. Everything was in a study and the video is there on YouTube
does body make epa from dha . .my suppli has only dha
I had stop dreaming at night, now that I'm taking 500 MG of DHA I started to get vivid dreams at night.
Another Dr. Greger Useless video. Why bother making a video when there is no conclusion, no advise, no nothing. He always says, next video, but there is no next video.
You’re a real hero for what you do! Love all your videos I watch them all day. Could you do a video going over research and studies on fillers in supplements. Like magnesium stearate and titanium dioxide. There’s a ton of controversy and and lack of information regarding sourcing and health effects. I would trust it coming from you! Thank you doc you’re awesome!
According to Brenda Davis, Japanese and other Pacific Islanders cannot produce enough enzymes to convert ALA omega-3 fatty acids to EPA/DHA fatty acid. Maybe, evolution of certain races and their relationship to their environment has to be factored in. I will continue to consume salmon and sardines to get my EPA/DHA as algae supplements are too expensive for the average person especially in food deserts where algae supplements are non-existent.
What brand do you guys take
Been having memory problems for the last couple years (been vegan for 4); started taking 900mg omega-3 from algae daily and noticed a drastic improvement in my cognitive function (speed of recollection and clarity of memory) after a week.
As long as that DHA doesn't stand for Democrats Hate America.
One major variable that is poorly tracked is partially hydrogenated oil or trans-fats. This is not found in nature. Individuals display many different primary inflammation responses to it.
It can cause chronic tissue inflammation and pain. Chronic inflammation is a precursor to many diseases, even fatal ones.
These trans-fats interfere with hormone & neurotransmitter production, cell wall integrity, and childhood development.
Trans-fats can be very slow to be eliminated from body tissue. I am convinced that elimination of dietary trans-fats, consumption of heathy fatty acids, and the burning of stored body fat are all essential to permanent recovery from chronic inflammation.
People respond in dramatically different ways to healthy fatty acids, depending on their tolerance or disease from trans-fats. Studies on ALA, EPA & DHA are also confounded by trans-fat variables.
Partially hydrogenated oil has finally been banned in USA peanut butter, probable due to the immense consumption by kids, the large amount of it in each serving and undeniable studies that link reduced IQ in kids to peanut butter consumption.
I have been consuming only Smuckers brand or fresh-ground peanuts for many decades before this ban.
I hope it is banned in all food products; especially starting with foods targeted towards kids, such as candy and breakfast cereal.
The excuses for using trans-fats are that it improves "mouth feel", as it is softer than cold lard even before warming up in the mouth. Mixed with oil, or replacing it, it reduces the transfer of oil to packaging. It may exchange food oils for a rancidity-delaying "vegetable shortening".
LOCK HIM UP !!! crooked dTrump !
DHA supplements make me feel really bossy and manipulative. I don't know why. It's good because I've had two promotions in the last 4 years, but still.

PUFAs are not stable, and are dangerous to your health. Eat fresh food, stay away from omega-3 supplements if you know what's good for ya!
Can u recommend any safe sources?
So what does the recommendation of 2 tbsp of ground flaxseed cover? Is this enough for DHA or is algae supplementation needed additionally?
I need HELPPPPP!!! I'm in a nutritional dilemma!! I'm 5'11 130 lbs and trying to gain weight on a vegan diet. The best and easiest way for me to gain is to eat a ton of peanuts, cashews, and almonds. However, doing this throws my Omega 6:3 ratio out of wack (so much Omega 6 in nuts)! Is this okay considering the main source of Omega 6 is whole foods or must I change something???
thanks for this video
