Let’s talk about the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids and what would happen if you started consuming them more often.
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for the body, but our bodies can’t produce them.
You can get omega-3 fatty acids by consuming a high-quality cod liver oil or fish oil supplement. I prefer cod liver oil because it has additional vitamin A and vitamin D.
However, it’s best to get your omega-3 fatty acids from food. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids include:
• Fatty fish
• Sardines
• Grass-fed beef
• Organ meats
• Eggs
EPA and DHA are important omega-3s. EPA mainly helps reduce inflammation. DHA primarily helps support the brain. Omega-3 fatty acids may even help people with asthma and allergies.
Consuming more omega-3 fatty acids may potentially help with certain symptoms, including:
• Dry eyes
• Dermatitis
• Macular degeneration
• Arthritis
• Arrhythmias
• High blood pressure
• Leg cramps
• Insomnia
• Menstrual cramps
More potential benefits of consuming omega-3 fatty acids:
• Improvements in fatty liver disease
• Increased calcium absorption
• Decreased risk of certain types of cancer
One small issue some people experience after taking fish oil is burping. You can take fish oil in capsule form, which shouldn’t cause burping. If you’re vegan or are allergic to fish, a good alternative is consuming algae.
It’s important to note that omega-6 fatty acids compete with omega-3 fatty acids. One of the biggest causes of a deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids is excess consumption of omega-6 fatty acids.
If you have trouble absorbing fats easily, you may want to try taking purified bile salts to increase the absorption of omega-3 fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps increase your awareness of the importance and benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. I’ll see you in the next video.
I’ve been doing that for at least 6 months. (Cod Liver Oil). Huge difference for me! Skin on my whole body is improving. Not nearly as much dryness and crinkly skin. My face is more hydrated, sun spots are fading. My hair is growing back in. Dry eyes are gone. Hands are not so sore. I feel better overall. 🤗
@Rapid141
That's wonderful 👏.
I need to try it for all the things you were going through as so am I.
PLEASE may I ask which brand you are using?
Thanks in advance
Which brand do you take
I'm taking salmon oil as it was on sale. I've eaten cod livers in their own oil for years, nasty tasting stuff but I know it's good for me. I've done a tin of it over a few days every week. I've taken it for years, honestly, I've seen absolutely no benefits, but it's supposed to be beneficial so I continue with it

Thank you doctor berg!! I’m a pharmacist and watching your video daily helped me so much for my family specially for my kids. Everyone around me so surprised because I have a kids (age3,4and1) that eats salad with salmon and drink smoothies, eat healthy everyday ..
thank you! I’m helping people around me as well by sharing your videos and the info I learned from you.
Thank you so much!!

Any chance you could recommend a lab that can test batches for heavy metals for us high dose consumers. It is my understanding the concentrations become a problem when consuming over 2 grams a day. I was taking Lovaza? But am suspicious about the omega 3 discount brand my insurance switched me to.

Good job
Dr Berg,
I owe you a debt of gratitude. In 12/22 I was grossly over weight and decided to lose some pounds. Through you I decided to use intermittent fasting and added a keto diet in January that is how I lost 110 pounds by June thirtieth. Now I am 189 pounds OMAD full keto from now on. I exercise daily eat a lemon each morning, take my ACV with electrolytes, cold shower, sauna and swim. Thank you much doctor.
Great character you have. Keep up the good work.
Well done Larry, keep fighting the good fight. 👍

Dr. You have been very helpful. I safer from chronic colitis - IBD and your videos have really been helpful
Thank you for confirming the benefits of fish oil, so I will begin to supplement with fish oil, along with the other food sources you mentioned that I already eat. I watch your videos daily. Thank you for educating the world. Those that want to take control over their "OWN BODY'S HEALTH" can really be well informed on how to do that. I've been watching you for over 5 years and my heath at 66 is better for it. 👍

I recently started eating fish often and over 3 months I stopped taking birth control & have not gotten cramps like I use to. Use to vomit for 2 days due to the pain until birth control. Birth control made me crazy though, mood swings like no other. I'm so happy I found the nutritionist I did. My life is so peaceful now.

Dr Berg I would love to see you do a video on the effects of these vitamins on certain prescriptions, for example. Vitamin d along side a thiazide diuretic which already increases your calcium in it self, or magnesium and other blood pressure medication.
I have always used cod liver oil for my little ones but lately I bought another brand for my omega. Thank you for reminding me of the reasons why I used to only use cod liver oil. I had some trauma to my body last night and almost died after losing so much, so I forgot a lot of things. One, why I specifically used cod liver oil. Thank you again for the reminder and thank you for the new information. Thank you for all you so brother. Blessings.

I been struggling with chest pains, breathing problems and many things for the pass 5 years and doctors did nothing to help me. I started having back pains as well and they just wanted me to do gastroypass saying I'll be able to lose weight and get rid of my back pain. I said if I can get rid of my back pain, I can do the exercise I need to do to lose weight. Since I've gained a lot of weight because of being inactive due to my back pains and the pandemic. I suffered and they blamed everything on my weight when my blood test shows other problems. I watched your videos about Vitamin D3+K2 and Glutathione and I bought both of those products and in a few weeks, I started feeling better. I'm now able to move again, no more back pains, body odor has decreased, skin is more smoother and I feel 10 years younger and now going back to the gym to exercise and lose weight. I feel like I got my life back. Thank you Dr.Berg.ngs to lose weight
Awesome good luck 1 day at a time God Bless 🙌
Take note. Atlantic Caught Salmon is farmed salmon and has a higher Omega-6 content over the Omega-3, Pacific Caught Salmon is generally wild caught and has a higher Omega-3 content over the Omega-6. There is a difference and farmed salmon is not a very good alternative to Wild Caught.
Did not know "Atlantic Caught" is farmed but you are right. Thanks for the info.
Yes. One must also consider the toxins added to the usual farmed fish feeds 🤦🏻♀️

Hey doc reply if you see this so I can check back on your youtube,
I'm curious about the effect of ingesting Fish oil, Cbd oil and Magnesium together, I don't eat fish so I take fish oil supplements and because of some back injuries I've been getting insomnia so I take cbd oil and magnesium to help sleep, though not everyday. I've done a little reading and noticed a relation between all 3 or maybe I'm missing fundamentals
Thanks Dr. Berg for the informative video! How much Omega 3 needs to be consumed daily to see benefits?
My 8 year old daughter loves eating sardines and mackerel. Loves, broccoli. She loves eggs olives mussels. Tbh other parents look at her and say they couldn't get their kids eating that kind of food. I think it's how you start them off from an early age.
Mackerel has a high concentration of mercury, something to think about giving it to kids.
I applaud you. Most parents are completely ignorant. Hit the kids with 72 shotts give them nothing but gmos sugar dyes and chicken nuggets see what happens.
@@billybongthornton4285
This only applies to King mackerel
Small one is OK
I’m from Maryland and I was eating crabs, oysters, mussels, and clams when I was 7. I always loved steamed seafood and didn’t like the kids’ menus with all the fried stuff.
There is no need of that.. that's over the top
Omega-3 can play a big part in creating hormone balance, primarily because of its anti-inflammatory properties.
I like Google as well 👍
@@jonathanheywood5482 happy to hear that
Are canned sardines from Costco (wild planet brand) that much worse than fresh sardines? I don't even know where to get fresh Pacific caught sardines, seems impossible to find in some states
@@JT.962😊
How to use it? In empty stomach or after eating food?
Omega-3s and omega-6s are incorporated in cell membranes and can last inside these cells for quite some time. Omega-3s stay in your system anywhere from about six weeks to six months. The amount of omega-3s that stay in your system also depends on the amount you receive through diet or supplementation.
Vitamin B12 is stored in excess in the liver, decreasing the likelihood of deficiency. Stores of vitamin B12 in the body can last around 2 to 5 years without being replenished, so it can take a long time for any problems to develop after a dietary change.
Thank you for this valuabl info! Apart from fish oil, what do you recommend supplement for best anti oxidant?
My ophthalmologist told me to start doing this several years ago. I am so glad that I did.

Thanks for the video!
Do you mind if I ask regarding Krill oil vs Cod Liver Oil? I've been taking Krill oil for about 3 months now due to high triglycerides.
Thanks for your video, Dr. Berg. Do you know of any efficient method of checking the oil inside capsules, if its good or bad? There are tons of brands and tons of fakers. Maybe something like certain value to expect on OVP meter, or else? Thank you.
Hi, Dr. Berg.
I've been floating a theory about omega 3 for a while and I came across this video. I wanted to ask, is the reason for the reduction in visceral fat like in the liver a cause of increased adiponectin production? I've read that omega 3s boost adiponectin production as well as exercise. Thanks for the work you do.
Your videos are so informative and accurate to my findings.I was on medication for hypothyroidism no surgery but was given radio iodine with kills off the gland.I began to educate myself (watching your videos)on supplements I chose and 10 years later no medication.Regular thyroid levels.😊
Iv no gallbladder,fish oils drive my stomach crazy.
Any suggestions on what I could take instead?
I started taking Omega 3 fish oils many years ago. I am 75 and all my friends are on multiple drugs, they have had to have cataract surgery and many have macular degeneration issues. They all have numerous types of medical problems. I have often wondered if my habit of Omega 3's is the reason that I am very healthy. My eyes actually improved a few years ago and I do not have to wear glasses while driving. I eat only organic, non processed food and always buy grass fed, free range meat.
What brand of fish oil do you take?
Yes what brand?
@LoisLopez-gg8gz I suggest Cod liver fish oil it has two addition of vitamins A and D³ the brand that I'm using is Carlson Norwegian Cod liver fish oil it's amazing it helps me with my inflammation and also you will have clear skin
@LoisLopez-gg8gz i take qunol ultra purified omega 3 works well 👍
Eat fresh sardines. Calcium and vitamin d in addition to the DHA and EPA. They are lower in contamination than larger fish like salmon. They are also inexpensive.
Thank you, Dr. Berg, for the essentials for Omega 3, coupled with the food, and the seeds. etc The importance and the benefits of health are unimaginable. The video is loaded😍

@dr. Eric Berg DC at what age do you recommend start taking omega 3 capsules for someone who does not have any health issues and is generally healthy?
Dr Berg,
Everytime i tried to take omega 3 supplements, i got a very severe toothache (leading to extraction or RC). Do you think this is a side effect? Is there any alternative for me?
I was raised on fish and high-quality cod liver oil back in the 60's here in Norway. I still take a table spoon every morning. I also eat salmon, mackerel often and canned Sardines in Virgin Olive Oil almost every day. Cod with cod liver and cod roe is my favorite dinner if I can catch one.
It is amazing how mild cod liver is, Redmond’s salt is all it needs.
Was given Cod Liver Oil as an infant and taken it ever since , 75 with no aches or pains, great joints and bones. My mother was a dietitian and believed in Cod Liver Oil, natural C and Vitamin D daily, and that is what we were given even though our food was naturally sourced and healthy, mostly from farms or the garden. Super Markets were where you buy paper goods and cleaning supplies😂

I got prescribed 4 fish oil pills a day and in 6 months I was more mobile, less inflammation, I was able to stop taking my antidepressants and my cholesterol dropped significantly. Would recommend.
That’s just my singular experience, combined with a changed diet, more beans, and veggies and less red meat, more activity, and life is better🎉
I’ve been taking cod oil for a couple months and my skin is clear and stretchy it’s awesome. No more dry patches on my upper arms and I had a rash on my mouth and cutting out gluten cleared that up too. I have Hashimotos and this channel has helped a lot. Thanks!

Happier and healthier at 76.
Dr. Berg, I started your low carb routine at the end of May this year; now, I never eat sugar, or starchy foods or bread, I still eat healthy vegetables, especially broccoli, cauliflower cabbage kale and salads. My Arrhythmia heart doctor agreed to my healthy eating plan as long as I eat enough good green carbs for my heart ❤️. I am losing weight slowly but in a steady healthy fashion with my heart arrhythmia.

Wow
@@SeriouSXXFireworks Nordic Naturals; I am not educated on which is best though.
Omega 3 contains cholesterol, so I am not understanding how your cholesterol would have lowered taking this. I have been afraid of it increasing my cholesterol due to cholesterol being in Omega 3
Dr Berg, your videos are so informative and thanks for that. I have one question. I had markings on my nails like tiny dots and when I took the omega 3 supplement, then it disappears within couple of months. As soon as I stop taking the supplement, it’s back again even though I try my best to eat fish or food with omega 3. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations since I am planning to start the supplement again? Thank you.
Interesting, I'm curious to know too.
I consume 2240MG a day. I have been taking the supplements since around January of this year. I can tell you it has helped me with dry eyes but also i have noticed i just feel better overall. My skin and memory has improved as well. I would suggest finding a good source and start taking it if you dont get it in your diet. I use the PRN Supplement. Its around $50 a month but worth it for me.
I'm on my two months on Fish oils, as someone that lives on a tropical island which can be very hot some times I can assure you my eyes benefits well of the fish oils, my elbow bursitis and
It helps with sinusitis too!

Does fish oil help with stress and anxiety?
Dr. Berg! I need your help here. Whenever I take any omega-3 ( and I've tried four different brands, both vegan and fish oil ... ) I get horrible, horrible insomnia. I can't sleep for 2 nights after even taking a single capsule of omega-3 I've tried half a dozen times over the course of a few years, and I cannot tolerate it. I have other health problems as well, which is why I wanted to try omega-3s to see if it had any positive effects. Could this reaction to omega-3 indicate something about me or my other health conditions?
OMG I need this.
I'll go buy this supplement right now!
Good video. I'd be interested in finding fish oils that *aren't* rancid. Dr. Mason of Australia worked with a lab to test as many oils as they could get their hands on, and no matter how "fresh" they were all rancid. So I've taken to eating wild caught, water packed sardines at least a few days a week. (My cats love the water and get some of the fish oil goodness)
Oh and you left out two important benefits of DHA - lowering triglycerides and increasing HDL.
Just check if they add anything else to the water, for example salt or vinegar cats shouldnt eat that on the long run afaik
In the Nordic countries, it is traditional to consume fish or cod liver oil and seal oil. The balance between Omega 3 from fish and sea mammal sources is important. Seal oil contains a different ratio of Omega 3 types and is more bioavailable for humans.
Seal 😅🤮
Thank you for a great video. Could you shed some light on Algae Omega 3 supplements? Are those have same effect as Fish Oil? If so, which brand can I use? Thank you!

I take a krill 350 mg once a day. I have Cod liver oil also , using up my Krill oil 1st.
I can't say this enough, Dr. Berg helped me with my right arm pain that I had for 2 years with the liver detox . I used Kefir, blueberries, and Kale in a smoothie 2 weeks and still do the smoothie once or twice a week. Thank you, Dr. Berg! I'm spreading the word about your channel.
I make my own kefir and love it with blueberries in it. I don't do kale due to the oxalates and quit blending up smoothies after watching Dr Lustig says it destroys the benefits of fiber by chopping it up.
@lisahylton2449:
!I take a krill 350 mg once a day. I have Cod liver oil also , using up my Krill oil 1st. !
No, you don't "take" it. You eat it and only a small part of what you think you have taken is being absorbed. Fats taken with the food meet pancreatic lipase in your gut and break them down to glycerol and fatty acids, PUFAS are not exception here. A part non digested by lipase are used by bacteria in your gut, and some of PUFAs is lost with the faeces.
So it's not so simple as it seems.
Thanks! Could you please also tell us any bad effects of fish oil if you take it long term. 20 years ago, I took fish oil one per day for more than one year. Then I found there are many small cysts in my body. I thought it might be caused by fish oil I took, since then I stopped to take it. Now I want to take fish oil again but not sure if there is bad effects.
Thank you Dr. Berg! I'm planning on ordering your COD Liver Oil through the website but I'm from PH, will it have any effects on the vitamin? Thanks so much!

Absolutely grateful and thankful for this information of wellness!
Dr berg you are the man, I started my journey a year ago. Started implementing all that I can from your videos. I weighed 220, now I'm 181 and I dont fit in any of my clothes now. I do healthy keto and IF, apple cider vin, cod liv, trace mineral, sour kraut, kefir. Stopped drinking and smoking, you have completely changed my life. Thank you so much. I can never go back to my prior life, I jus cant tolerate living that way anymore. Thank you!

Hello Dr. Berg. My father had a bypass surgery 13 years ago. He is slim and active. But when he takes omega fat 3 capsule, he complains of heaviness and therefore he has stopped taking it. Can you advice what can be done? Thanks
Dr. Berg
when ever i start taking fish oil my lips start splitting
i try drinking alot of water still the same result
anything wrong with me or i am doing something wrong?
i have been consuming since childhood but quit for 20years and recently started 2nmonths again and just went out of stock . thanks for this knowledge. needed indeed.
Yes. Some of the other Dr Berg’s videos /articles on omega 3 may help further.
Thanks doctor
you are a river of tenderness and wisdom🍀🌹
Glad to help!
after watching one of your videos, I started taking fish oil, and my eye floaters disappeared!!! thank you Dr. Berg🙌🏽♥️♥️
Wow 🤩 🎉🎉
question @Dr. Eric Berg. whenever i take these i feel an intense stress in my neckmuscle and rhomboid muscles, they also make me nauseous as the oil flavour keeps returning to my mouth making me taste it throughout the day. any advice on these issues?
Dear Dr. Thanks for all your support. Would you recommend Blackmores Fish oil? If yes how in year to take it? Thanks in advance for your time.
I was taking sea buckthorn oil for awhile (its expensive though 😕).
It has all the omegas. It would be great if you could discuss sea buckthorn for those of us who dislike fish oil.
I agree, I hope Dr Berg considers discussing some plant-based options too. There are people who can't consume animal products, in addition to those who don't want to.
All I needed to hear was that it's essential for body function; 70% of people are deficient, and we can't make it on our own. Thank you for having a quick link to buy it.
respect for this Dr.!!!!
from Ethiopia❤❤
I appreciate your support!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION DR. BERG
Thanks! If you like this video, go ahead and share it with someone that you know that can truly benefit from it.
I've been taking cod liver oil all my life. Everyone I know up here in Canada takes it since we don't get a lot of sun in the winter and for overall immune support.
I belong to a coastal region of India and we have an average 5 servings of oily fish like Sardines, Mackerel, Tuna, Seer fish, Halibut, etc per week with brown rice , coconut oil and veggies.
The life expectancy in our region is over 85..
Great 👍
Where do u live Jai
Hello doc
As mostly all fish oil (omega 3) capsules have enteric coating (methacrylic acid copolymer) which is a synthetic and not at all good for our body. Is it worth to take fish oil (omega 3 epa and dha) in this form?
Also i have seen many brands don’t disclose whether they have added this synthetic enteric coating. How to differentiate whether the one m taking is not having? Is it imp for these brands to disclose the same in ingredients?
A really informative video. Thank you!
I consume Omega3 for almost 2 years, although the pain doesnt go away but it really lessen my menstrual cramps. And my skin also start more glowing. My source fatty fish, 4 egg(daily) and some supplement(daily).
My hair loss reduced significantly after consuming cod liver oil for 4-6 months. This was a side benefit as I was consuming it for a different diagnosis based on deficiency found in my blood test.
Which company do you use
Did u take capsule?? Or actual fatty fish?
@@user-gm9ml5se6lHave you tried using cod liver oil while doing healthy keto at the time?

Or are you a bot?
Hey doc I hope you are fine I just have one question my age is 19 I started gym like 6 months ago added some whey in my diet got good results but weakness too in my legs joints elbows now what I want to know or get aware of is should I take multivitamins and omega 3 fish oil please do reply as soon as possible
I always check with Dr. Berg when I need answers related to my health😊
My ophthalmologist suggested I take Omega 3 for my dry eyes. It does make a difference!
I bet! Awesome 👏 Thanks for sharing!
Hi, do you mind if I ask which brand you take?
@@chelly2468 I take Nature's Bounty odor-less Fish Oil 1400 mg/980 mg of Omega-3. I got mine at Costco but I'm sure you can find it other places too.
@chelly2468 Make sure the EPA and the DHA are over 500mg
@@sammyazari4940 thanks so much! 🙏🏼
My dog had a bad reaction to the Parvo vaccine.* She started having seizures and muscle spasms so bad she would fall down. I found info online that omega 3's could help. I switched her to a tuna & sardine diet and supplemented with magnesium, calcium, and a little potassium and zinc. It was miraculous! No more seizures, no more spasms, she is back to her old self in less than 3 weeks. I am slowly decreasing the supplements to once a week and keeping the fish diet for one meal a day.
*she had an indirect exposure to a dog who later died of Parvo.
Same thing happened to my 1st Shihtzu "Butch" in 2004 who died 😢 my Shihtzu now is on a wild caught Salmon diet and he's better and over 10 years old.
Existen unas pastillas para perros y su nombre es AKTIVAIT. Mejoran capacidades y evitan espasmos. Mira su composición natural.
Maybe you shouldn't have allowed the goons to stick stick a needle into your dawg in the first place! ☝️
We had a litter of kittens and one could not stand because the back legs didn't work. The vet recommended cod liver oil and after one dropper he was able to stand. We were amazed.
@@keep_the_charge So sorry for your loss of Butch. I am glad things are better now.
Your info about anti-competitor of omega-3 which is omega-6 was enlightening. Especially because I am from Central Asia and Central Asians eat a lot of heavy oilly foods...
Is it okay to take cod liver oil supplements with water soluble vitamins? Or should they be taken at different times separate?
Hello Dr. Berg, and thank you for your videos!
I recently discovered your channel and I'm now learning a lot from you.
In this video you mentioned about Soy Milk and Omega-6, and what it does to your consumption of Omega-3.. I actually didn't know about this. So now I'm thinking on changing to Oat drinks. Will that solve the problem you described as the "competition"?
Thank you!
Soy Milk is not very good because they processed the soy. Oat milk, almond milk, rice and coconut milk are the best. My dermatologist warned me not to drink soy milk.
Read the labels. Avoid those that have seed or grain oils which are highly refined and supposed to be "bad." Almost all non-dairy drinks will have those in them. The good doctor here has lots to say about that. Also try to avoid anything with any kind of flavoring. The So brand makes a coconut milk without any of those nor any added sugars. And for my taste it only has a very mild coconut taste, probably because of no added "natural flavor", which is a chemical concoction that is not good for you. Supposedly. I'm just regurgitating things that I've heard here and from other sources.
@@stuartmoore6310 Thank you for your reply, but I'd like to know the contents of Omega 3 and 6, that isn't mentioned in the labels.
If corn can be "nixtamalized" with something like (sweet yellow) lime juice possibly... Could there be a breakdown mechanism for the Omega 6s that we're currently unaware of?
I have been doing Omega 3 Krill for 10 years but u did not mention if it is bad or good for you. I'm guessing it's real good because I feel great, my thinking is way better and my eye sight is almost 20-20 when it was as bad as -2.25 0n one eye and -2.50 in the other. Is Krill a good oil?
From my knowledge, Cod liver oil contains Vit A and Vit D, which will help our skin body in the winter especially the long winter without the sun. But I'm from the country with the tropical climate, so
Omega 3-6-9 or Cod liver oil is the best option for me? Thank you so much
