"This was one of the easiest additions to my routine. I know I don't eat enough fish, so this helps me fill that gap without overthinking it."
People usually take it for:
- Supporting heart, brain and eye health
- Filling the gap when fatty fish isn't a regular part of your diet
I don't eat fatty fish as often as I'd like, so this was one of the first supplements I added. Omega-3s have a lot of research behind them, and Dr. Rhonda Patrick talks a lot about getting enough of them from food or a supplement.
Why I like it: It fills a gap in what I eat, and it has years of research behind it.
What is fish oil good for?
It gives you omega-3 fats your body can't make much of on its own. The NIH says omega-3s help your heart, lungs and immune system do their jobs, and that supplements are safe for adults up to about 5 grams a day. Fatty fish is the food way to get them. A supplement fills the gap when you don't eat much fish. The NIH fact sheet →
