Only buy omega 3 brands that mention a low TOTOX-value. The lower the value the less oxidation.
Anything <30 is good and <15 is great.
It should also have an anti-oxidant like vitamin E.
15 is great but 8-9 or 4 is the best 🙂
Particularly low TOTOX values (≤ 5) ?? Is it good ?

It’s common knowledge that all the biohackers are vampires, just look at Bryan Johnson (and his latest video on sun).
🎯 Key points for quick navigation:
00:00:30 *🐟 Omega-3s are widely recognized for their health benefits, especially for heart disease and neurodegeneration.*
00:00:57 *📉 Research shows that a daily dose of 0.4 to 6 grams of EPA and DHA significantly reduces cardiovascular disease risk.*
00:02:06 *💉 Omega-3s improve glucose metabolism and have anti-inflammatory effects, beneficial for those with type 2 diabetes.*
00:02:34 *💪 Omega-3 supplementation can enhance muscle strength and mass, even in sedentary individuals.*
00:03:17 *📊 The omega-3 index is a key biomarker for assessing heart disease risk, with levels above 8% associated with lower mortality rates.*
00:06:04 *⚠️ High doses of omega-3 supplements (4 grams/day) may increase the risk of atrial fibrillation, especially in people with pre-existing conditions.*
00:07:43 *❌ The concern that omega-3s cause inflammation is not supported by studies; rather, they consistently show anti-inflammatory effects.*
00:08:23 *📊 A 2012 study found no increase in inflammation markers from daily consumption of oxidized fish oil over 3 to 7 weeks, despite higher EPA and DHA levels.*
00:09:20 *🐟 Most fish oils on the market are found to be rancid and may contain low Omega-3 concentrations and contaminants, highlighting the need for high-quality sources.*
00:10:02 *📏 Ethyl ester forms of Omega-3 are less bioavailable than their triglyceride counterparts, making it crucial to check supplement labels for quality.*
00:10:45 *🌱 Antarctic krill oil and algae oil are viable alternatives to fish oil, showing benefits such as reducing triglyceride levels and raising DHA in different dietary groups.*
00:11:55 *💚 To improve heart health and longevity, a higher intake of Omega-3s is essential, with an omega-3 index of at least 8% recommended for optimal health benefits.*

Good info
Thank you so much. This is so timely. I was just about to spend a lot of money on a bad product. Thank you now I know what to get.
I was actually waiting for this video, because of other people who make videos that reference meta-analysis but don’t go into enough depth to properly assess the risks. So the result is that they leave you with a vague feeling of fear and definitely not with all the data. Thanks!
The Ray Peat crowd avoids fish oil because it is a PUFA, like seed oils. Fish have lower body temperature because they live in water, so oil will not oxidize in their body. They argue due to human body temperature it will oxidize in the body, which is bad. They actually optimize the Omega 3 index in reverse, and say it takes years for fish oil to clear. I think there are also some studies that of prove it.
They say if you are eating seed oils, then yeah, fish oil is better compared to that and that’s why some studies show benefit.
Who is right? I don’t know. I have personally noticed my heart is a bit more “beaty” when I am on fish oil, and I don’t like the shiny smooth skin look, so I stopped taking it.
Me too. I’m totally confused. Dr. Mercola, Dave Asprey and other biohackers who have touted omega 3s for so long, all now have gone in the other direction. Dave Asprey says it’s just a matter of time before even Rhonda Patrick changes her tune on omega 3s too. Honestly, don’t know who to believe anymore. It seems that whenever there’s a new trend on the horizon, there are new studies to support it. Slim Land is one of the few biohackers I can still trust though.
What about flaxseed oil pills?
actually eating a salmon whilst watching this video
Because Derek mpmd put out a product lol
Thanks, very helpful info Was wondering about the rancid rumours Just checked my Alaskan Salmon bottle from Costco and it is trigs
I have taken good quality omega 3 for over 20 years. Carlson pure encapsulations, etc. I always had a bit of Af. I stopped a few months back, and AF has virtually gone. I now eat fish now instead.
What is AF?
But you seemed to say it had no effect on inflammation when it was rotten. Yet when it’s not rotten it has a positive effect. So implying that it being rotten isn’t negative would be incorrect. Unless you meant compared to not rotten oil.
No, yeah. You repeated that there was no increase for bad oil. But good oil decreases. So if you have bad oil and it didn’t go up then why is that not an equalizing effect of the omega 3 reducing inflammation but the badness raises it leading to net 0 change?
What about the Vit E they keep adding in most Omega 3 supplements? I rather don t wana eat so much extra vit E…
Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA, marine, minimally-oxidized, molecularly distilled, triglyceride form, low TOTOX value, phospholipid, krill – Taken at last meal of the day.)
Thank you! Very useful information! But I didn’t see a specific fish oil brand is in triglycerides form or not from the IFOS report. Where can I find it in IFOS?
