EPA and DHA explained

When you hear anything about fish oil, the acronyms EPA and DHA always come up. But what do these terms actually mean?

[@mubafaw]

Wow! Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Thanks for this great explanation! 😊

[@saga3826]

Very good video and simple to understand! Answered my questions about EPA/DHA especially at the end. Would you consider 3/4g of fish oil is safe (i use your product).

[@Angela-Gee]

Is it good for hair /skin?

[@hellomehellome1170]

Do all fish has DHA and EPA?

[@LesliePeter]

Great video and it's very informative.

[@PatrickBateman191]

I think studies show DHA is more effective against inflammation. Check it out and maybe make a new video

What can happen if we are too high in linolenic acid?

[@TeaLeafThief]

We need to find a balanced ratio between omega 3 and omega 6 oils!

[@ginoasci2876]

Tom Winters: what could happen if we are too high in linolenic acid?

[@PrzemysawWojtasik]

@@TeaLeafThief The best omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is 3: 1. Usually we have 20: 1 .... only the highest quality fish or algae oils can restore the proper balance

[@mreudeco]

EPA thins the blood but DHA doesn’t very important.

[@PrzemysawWojtasik]

Great video.Thank you. Most fish oils are preserved with tocopherols. Generally kept on shelves, they can go rancid quickly. More expensive products are additionally preserved with polyphenols of olive oil. Tested for rancidity, they can remain fully valuable for months. It's best to use them. I don't give others to my family.

[@snake1625b]

What about taking a combination of high dha pills and high epa pills to reap the benefits of both low inflammation and brain health

[@logical_lb3059]

If you're pregnant yes take DHA, otherwise just epa

[@bcnumeroum1]

Nice video! There are vegan sources as well, not olny from fishes...

[@decom707]

Yeah, Algae. The thing those fish get these from in the first place.

[@jimcua6589]

Do walnuts have epa and dha ?

[@cancelled_user]

Plant sources usually only have ALA, which in the body is (very little amount of it) converted into EPA and DHA. Also, you need to keep your LA (Linoleic acid) intake low in order to increase ALA conversion into EPA/DHA as LA is competitive to ALA in this respect.

[@john0094]

Only Ala

[@PrzemysawWojtasik]

EPA and DHA are not found in plants growing on the ground. They can be obtained from cold-water fish or from algae. The most valuable oils are preserved with dyes obtained from olives (olive oil polyphenols - on the label)

[@94nolo]

For any of you vegans out there, they do have algae Omega 3 supplements now

Thank you for great knowledge 🙏🏻❤️

[@fogatron503]

Epa and dha actually come from algae that the fish eat. Skip the middle man and eat the algae.

[@letsgoviral777]

Thank you!

Exactly! I was going to comment that this video is incomplete, missing essential information

[@馬哥艾分享]

Nice

[@FromthisInstanceOn]

Would be nice to know how much is a good amount to take, my tablets have 180mg of EPA and 120mg of DHA

[@wellnessdr5572]

Inadequate dosage

[@z821]

Not enough

[@TeaLeafThief]

It's undeniable.. but I hate that it signed off as a company. Agendas everywhere.

[@kelvs825]

Thanks :) , I just Take notes from all you said 😃

[@LeviathanBreed1]

I would have appreciated this video more if it had not mentioned fish oils a billion times and make it sound like fish oils are the sole sources of DHA and EPA. There are plenty of plants that are rich with Omega 3 and DHA/EPA like algae, flax seeds, chia seeds,...

[@manu3939393]

I'm no expert but it seems to me that flax seeds and chia seeds mainly contain ALA and not EPA and DHA. Very little ALA is converted to EPA and DHA

[@LeviathanBreed1]

@@manu3939393 algae has plenty of DHA and EPA. Without the mercury and cadmium found in fish and their oils.

[@manu3939393]

@@LeviathanBreed1 Might be true, but who eats algae on a regular basis, especially in quantities that are sufficient for EPA/DHA?

[@LeviathanBreed1]

@@manu3939393 it's called supplements.

[@LeviathanBreed1]

@@mel.mefferd true, but cellulose is still important in the form of fiber. Digest or not, we take algae for the omega 3. Unlike fish, it doesn't contain toxic metals like cadmium and mercury.

[@manusheunis6298]

I just love the assumption that Omega 3 & ALA can ONLY be gotten from fish oil. This is in fact not true. As a vegan, I know that there are many plant sources with abundant Omega 3 in them. In fact, some MORE than fish. Algae, flax, walnuts, avo etc etc. The Omega 3 in fish oil, like protein from meat, is in fact 2nd hand, as the fish consume algae, which is the actual source of Omega 3.

[@t_c5266]

and to nobody's surprise, the vegan makes sure everyone knows that hes a vegan you're why people hate vegans.

[@alejandrogn4]

Lol but ALA conversion is very minimal

[@barefootlumberjack]

Epa and DHA do not exist in plant foods.

[@alejandrogn4]

@@barefootlumberjack I just found out DHA does exist in algae but not EPA
