As a functional nutritionist to professional athletes and sick people, I am a biochemistry geek. You are the first MD I have seen who umderstands micronutrients. Wonderful!
Thanks for watching. I'm a chiropractor with interests in functional medicine and functional neurology. Best, Dr. Jin
@@DrJinSung Excellent! Now that makes sense! Chiropractors always understand nutrition better! Chiropractors have kept me moving throughout the year. With 5 her oates discs and scoliosis, I am extremely active still because of nutrition and chiropractor. Many blessings!

Sir plz tell can I take fish oil while having ovarian cyst
@@DrJinSung HEMP OIL has a good source of nutrients too which isn't mentioned what's your opinion ?
Absolutely correct. Drs only know what Big PHARMA prescribes in their Drug Manuals. Nothing about Nutrition. If you're sick go to a Naturopath
Wonderful presentation
Thanks Dr Sung for your great videos. I really appreciate your great videos-short, simple and informative explanations.
Thank you so much for clearing things up. Great video. Easy to understand.
Excellent and informative. Thank you.
Great pitch of videos
Thanks for this video Dr.Sung great information
Great presentation. Many thanks!
Superb video brother!
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Peace and blessings 🙏
Great info...i love it....thanks👌🏿👌🏿🤓🤓
Great video and very simple 🌹 thanks
excellent video
Dr Sung...very nice breakdown of this topic. I will definitely pass this on.
Wow, this video is packed with so much important information!
Thank you Doctor. You explain things so well.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Dr. This really helped me to better understand fish oil. 🤯👍😁
Dear Dr., TYVM with much love.
Liked and Subscribed.
Thanks for the great video and info!!
Great video. Thanks.
Thanks for the perspective and I fo.
Maybe you could have explained what a PCB is.
liked and subscribed, thank you doctor Sung
thanks doc. for the most compliete info
You rock! thanks for explaining what to take and how much
When i find a physician that has some nutritional knowledge. I will consider their advice.
Thanks for this !
Whenever I take 2000mg of fish oil I get terrible anxiety until I stop taking them.
I read somewhere that fish oil high in EPA can increase symptoms of anxiety and depression in some individuals.
I'm wondering about this too.
Thank you for your video. Just want to know if you can recommend a brand since you have did the foot work
thank you
Great information, thanks! But why not recommend a particular supplement! Which Algal Oil--Natural TG-bound would you recommend? Thanks!
I believe Dr. Sung more than I believe in some of these clinical studies against fish oil.
Thank you!
Doctor Sung, you are the best!
I love him. He is humble and does not threaten us with illness. He only talk about health benefits of supplements, food and herbs. I feel safe with him. Other health practitioners scare me with horrible images on the videos and they focus on illness which really depress us even more.
Dr. Greger recommends 500 mg DHA via Algae oil daily. Some don't have EPA...but I just received a brand that has both.
Are OTC fish oil good quality and safe since they are non regulated? There are some studies that say DHA reduces affect of EPA when both are combined. Have you heard of high purified EPA called Vascepa? When do you take DHA/EPA vs EPA?
Added my thumbs up for the video Dr. Sung. 👍🏽I'm glad the, "Nordic Naturals" fish oil supplement I'm taking is a good brand! Consider me subbed. ✌🏽
Thank you
Enjoy your videos! Thank you.
Glad you like them!
@@DrJinSung They are wonderful! Thanks for breaking things down for us in an easily understood manner. Incredibly helpful!
@@DrJinSung
I bought Cod liver oil n took only one but gives me like missing heart beat for a second n even tried Alaskan wild Salmon fish oil from Costco brand the same thing. Appreciate your help 🙏😊
Thanks Doc!
I know for me that when I take Krill Oil it raises my HDL better then fish oil. I have not take as high a dose as what you suggest though but will have to try it.
Great stuff, doctor. Would you please do one on rosacea and one on autoimmune disorders? Thanks!
Fish oil won't do anything for rosacea. There's no epa/dha in the skin so how can it help?
@@emedia12 I think she wanted a general video on the topics and not one relating to fish oil again
Great information Dr!! straight forward and easy to understand thanks!!!
Why kill a fish and exctract its fat when you can go directly to the source - algae? The doc specifically made it a point to open the video with the statement that fish don't make those omega 3 fats. 🌿🌱
For me in Germany it cost much much more
@@SchnuffiJames I'm sorry you don't have affordable algal oil. I wish it was available everywhere, but it's a relatively new industry. Give it time. In the meantime, maybe you can purchase it occasionally, just to show support. Please believe me, it'll keep growing. But we all need to pitch in. It costs us much more, as a society, as earthlings, to have depleting oceans. When humans fish, they cannot posibly pull out just desirable species, but also an enormous amount of bycatch.
Please consider this. 🙏
@@non-applicable. Both your original point and rebuttal were well reasoned and logical - you changed my mind and I will reconsider my buying preferences. Well done!
@@nickneuburger4528 I'm so glad! 😊 People sometimes forget, I think, that every bit counts. Small actions done by many people result in great things. Thank you for caring!!!
Fish oil is good for your brain , its good for your blood lipids , keeps everything moving along nicely , fish oil is wonderful stuff. I use the red Krill oil , oil from north fish oil is the best, Salmon , Krill .
@Dr. Jin W. Sung, what diet plan do you follow? You seem to be in great health.
Would quality fish oil help with mylenation? Another question: is it possible to RE- mylenate?
I took EPA/DHA for almost a year and a slight decrease in my omega 3 to 6 ratio resulted. So I gave up. I’d like to return to eating sardines, mackerel and try adding salmon eggs.
But thanks for covering this matter.
How much g of EPA?
canned cod liver is an omega 3 bomb. 14 grams of omega 3 in a 100g can.
@@julirohfit8570 Don't you get worried about heavy metals accumulating in your system over time tho?
@@tommicallef7841 if i'm eating it it might be once a week max, i'm switching from salmon to sardines to cod liver. i googled about heavy metals and it says to avoid these at all cost:
Swordfish.
King mackerel and tilefish.
Shark.
Barramundi.
Gemfish.
Orange roughy (deep sea perch)
Ling.
Southern bluefin tuna.
which im not eating any of. i'm eating packaged mackarel time to time not sure if its king mackerel. also recently i've been purchasing grass fed grass finished meats online from pure nature. no weird chemicals in it and full of nutrients. i've got 2 kilograms of beef liver stocked up now it contains almost every nutrient your body needs. i got like 20 grass fed burger patties being delivered tommorow.
@@julirohfit8570 nice. yeah, I need to try more organ meats. I have heard too they are packed with nutrients compared to a regular steak
Curious how helpful flax seed oil or other Omega 3 vegetarian/vegan supplements are vs fish oil. What would be the best option, alge?
Can do you please do a comparison on parent essential oils vs natural omega 3 oil?
Thanks Dr
I started taking fish oil 6 months ago and after 3 months i was pain free. I have psoriatic arthritis in my feet. well no more pain for me. it's been a miracle. thanks for the good video.
What type of omega 3 did you take if you dont mind telling?
@@angamanu162 I buy "aqua omega"brand high in EPA.
@@randocommando6826 Thank you!
Fantastic video. For those of us who have had our gallbladder removed, what can we do to add support as mentioned in the video? Is there anything to supplement in conjunction with fish oil? Thank you.
Use bile salts. Watch dr berg on this.
So what's the conclusion? Omega-3 DHA suplementation good or bad?
In the UK you will be lucky to get 500mg of EPA/DHA combined. And most of it is processed using hexane as a solvent to extract it.
Would have loved to hear the recommended dosage for Krill oil, since EPA/DHA are much lower dosed, but with higher bioavailability.
Yes please. I take krill
It all depends on the brand, the manufacturing and the quality of the krill oil. You want your absolute epa/dha level to be above 8-12% in your blood. I take a epa/dha test every 120 days to monitor and make sure I get adequate levels 👍
@@coastaldiva :)
@@Kennethopdahl how do you get this test? Is it a lab blood test?
Dont take krill, yes its more bio but more expensive & you need huge dosages daily.
Do not take more than 2000mg of dha and epa a day because it will thin the blood too much.
I like this dr because he does not threaten us with illness. He gives us hope, talking about the health benefits. This will lift up our mood, mind, give us hope and joy. If doctors talk about illness, it will make us sicker because what we focus on will increase, will manifest. I feel safe listening to this dr. He knows a lot. Is he MD?
Hi doctor does fish oil contraindicated to those people who have high uric acid???
Merci pourquoi ne faire une traduction en français je connais tous les produits dont vous parlez
Mais j'aimerai comprendre vos explications.... Merci
As a male adult, can I take Nordic naturals brand 4 softgels a day to obtain 4,000 mg of combined EPA/DHA? 2 soft gels of Nordic Naturals contains EPA 1125 mg and DHA 875 mg = 2,000 mg of combined EPA/DHA.
taking fish oil led to me suffering with heart burn a year down the road... sans fish oil, sans heart burn. I stick to just eating fish a few times a week now. Tastes good too
Dr. Saladino MD states that it is not necessary to take omega 3 supplements if you are eating enough meet or beef tallow. What is your opinion Dr. Sung?
I wonder about the soft gel caps is that actually bad or good for people. when I was a kid many years ago my grandparents and parents used to make uis kids take a spoonfull of cod liver oil daily ( yes back then it taisted gross) but now that I Oam older I am not which to buy becsaue its seems more expensive, I bought a small bottle of it and it cost 27 CAD it lasted maybe a month the softgel caps seem cheaper but not sure if the caps are good or bad forme, I do find it currious becsaue back in my childhood the bottles were very cheap and allot larger then now it is like they upped the prices 2000% just because it is good for people
I never read any research on how bad rancid or oxidized polyunsaturated fatty acids really are. I suspect they are extremely bad but on the other hand, I can't explain by what mechanism.
What is your take on Vascepa?
So are you saying , if im taking MEGA RED 4 in 1 500 mg. Fish oul & Krill oil i need to take 4 of these a day to get the 2000 mg. dose you recommend?
What about polyunsaturated fatty acids being too unstable and prone to oxidation to be consumed by warm blooded animals?
Is it bad if EPA and DPA levels go a bit high? My omega 3 ratio is ideal, steady at 8% (and this took some adjustments to dial in). But my EPA and DPA are slightly above the suggested range. Not sure what to make of that...
If my dr wants me to take 4G per day, what is the cheapest brand that meets the Natural/TG-bound profile? I've been taking GNC's triple strength brand for years because of the high EPA/DHA numbers, but it's too expensive.
Take only 1000mg of DHA AND EPA total a day. Safer. Buy Nordic brand, not cheap brand.
Hello Doc. I have Neck Hernia Disc. I take lots of vitamins and medicines also went to ortopedi Doctor and had an MRI. Almost 4 months now . So suffering everyday. When I go to sleep and sometimes certain movement makes my left arms in pain so pain. What's should I do?
How much of that 2000 in fish oil is bioavailable, as opposed to krill oil?
My 1000mg cod liver oil has only 144EPA and 107 DHA is it worth me taking ?
How about Swisse? They are good manufacture? How to identify good and bad manufacture/lab processing this? Thank you in advance..
Thank you Sir best Doctor in the world 🌎
Can you recommend a brand name w/ what you
Excellent presentation. My choice is sometimes Cod liver oil, twice a week and Perilla oil three or four times a week. What do you think of Perilla oil?
I like it. Used a lot in the Korean diet.
Dr. Sung, I have elevated platelets (640 10*9/L) and I am concerned. It has been elevated since my late 20's. Is Fish Oil beneficial for me or would that just increase my platelets even more? I have never been told to take aspirin or anything for this...they just tell me 'well it looks like that has been an ongoing issue for you'...there is a reason for a blood test and there is a reason that the blood test results remain high or low...I just would like your opinion on this please
You ever find out a answer it appears he don’t answer questions?
Cod liver oil is my favorite.
Thanks for the great info. I’m curious what a person can do to support a low functioning gallbladder. Can you provide some information on that? For reference, I am a healthy weight/bmi, athletic (14-18hrs various activity/cross training a week), eat a mostly healthy diet (lots of fiber, lower in fat right now), not diabetic, no hypertension, no gallstones, etc. my doc just says my gallbladder is low functioning. They want to remove it but I’d rather try to support it and help make it happy if it’s possible.
Make sure you thyroid is functioning at optimal. Then support gallbladder with bile salts or ox bile.
HOW does one support a sluggish/absent gall bladder?
How do we support the gallbladder if we had it removed. Mine was removed 😢
CSF when we sleep and Leishmania amastigote in the central nervous system?
I would love to hear your opinion about which is the best EPA vs DHA ratio in Omega 3 supplements. I know that one helps lower inflammation while the other one is good for the brain. At the same time I was reading a study which revealed that a large amount of DHA actually counteracts EPA's benefits thus it's recommended to take a supplement that has a lot more EPA than DHA.
Both are anti inflammatory. While DHA is known for being a building block in the brain, DHA has not as of yet been shown to improve cognitive function, but has been shown to potentially increase LDL and triglycerides. Using a high quality general fish oil as well as a EPA only solutions seems to be optimal.
@@seanruskowski7311 Is using a epa only supplement safe or do I need dha too?
@@seanruskowski7311 Is that bad that it increases LDL and triglycerides?
@@jayxcv5409 Yes, LDL is bad when oxidized (from glucose/sugar)
Triglycerides are best kept as low as possible.
@@seanruskowski7311 what is high quality fish oil brand? Nordic?
That is scary to know that DHA increase LDL and triglyceride.
I saw a video that was saying if you take serrapeptase that you should stop taking fish oil because it will make the blood to thin. Does anybody know about that?
EXCUSE ME? The gallbladder is a bag, not much different to a balloon that holds bile while it waits for the fat to come down from the stomach. The liver makes the bile.
Are you saying people without a gallbladder shouldn't eat fish oil?
Right
why did cod liver oil gave me heart burn after taking it ? lasted 2 days it was brand green pasture =(( and heard good review on it I am sad that to me it did helped at all
Is omegavia a good company?
So, that's 5,000 mg triglyceride fish oil adult dose???
This is great! But to ascertain quality/bioavailability - how do I know which method the company I am buying from uses to make its tablets? Big-name supplement makers like Optimum Nutrition and MyProtein don't mention it - but should I automatically just assume the worst?
Yes
so doctor what products do you recommend ? thanks again for the video
In the beginning of the video is mentions Nordic Naturals Fish Oil.
Great info, but there is a recent study in Europe showing most of the over the counter Fish Oils were rancid or not what they were saying they were.
Epa and dha are volatile fatty acids, meaning that they can go rancid/oxidize easily.
A lot of the natural protection from oxidation is stripped away with the heavy metal cleansing process the manufacturers are obliged to do. And adding the right antioxidants back is costly. That's why when tested 95% of ppl taking a random omega3 supplemt still don't get to a healthy balance of 3;1 in omega6 to 3.
@@Kennethopdahl Agreed. If only there were better regulation of supplements.
@@hdtvkeith1604 in this instance it's the regulation that causes the issue, kinda. Since the regulation dictates that the heavy metals need to be extracted :p
@@Kennethopdahl what about Carlson's fish oil?
@@cmhardin37 I haven't seen anyone personally using Carlsons fish oil. From the bottle, it seems fairly decent. With 1300mg og combined epa and dha. To get get to a great level of 8% epa+dha in the blood, one would need to triple the dosage, to a total of 3-4g a day.
With this being said, the process of cleaning fish oil for heavy metals, most of the natural polyphenols and other molecules helping the omega3 to stay fresh and not go rancid in the fish are removed, and these need to be added back again. This is why you see almost all omega3s having vitamin e and some sort of herb oil, like peppermint, rosemary, etc added. Though, these additives are expensive, and most manufacturers do not care to add enough. In a recent study from Norway 9/10 store bought brands of omega3 went rancid within 10h after administered, and the digestive system needs up to 36 hours to fully take up the epa and dha, this is a big problem.
Consistently, clients I work with that take the omega3 test and who have been taking an omega3 brand from the store gets a omega6:3 ratio of 7:1 or worse. To stay in the optimal range you want to to be 3:1 or lower.
Can anyone please tell me how to find out what my body is lacking. What test can I take to see what’s working naturally and what needs improvement nutrients wise. Thank you!
When people and companies selling the Omega-3 supplement they always talk about EPA, DHA and sometimes DPA. But these are not the only Omega-3 FA, there are like 11 of them. What is with the other ones? Because I thought that the human body cannot synthesize Omega-3 FA in general, so 7 fatty acids would be missing. Are those just not as researched as the ones above or are they commen in other plants like ALA? I just don't get why when someone says Omega-3 fatty acids, everybody just thinks of EPA, DHA, DPA and ALA... And especially why the supplements only contain the 3 acids named above
So what's the final take? Yes or no?
Hello, I take 4 grams of Vascepa daily, IS this good for me or bad? I guess this is fish oil!
You mention gall bladder support a couple of times. Do you have any specific recommendations? Thank you!
I just listened again trying to comprehend! First he said it helps support gallbladder then later has it under a "concern".
Use Milk thistle its helped shrink the stones in my moms gall bladder
👍👍
Sardines/anchovies are the way to go. Supplements gave me arrythmias and I was using a top brand (Nordic Naturals).
I wonder the mechanism?
Yup. I hear many people complain about arrhythmia after taking fish oil.
@@freedomofspeech6905 Yeah it's not clear yet. Paradoxically when I stopped the supplements and returned to eating fish the arrythmias rapidly improved. Maybe supplemental form results in unfavorable lipid composition changes in the cardiomyctes in certain people at certain settings and messes the cell signaling and the electrolyte homeostasis. Go figure..
Sounds like out of balance but yes, fatty fish from the north and fish eggs probably the best way to go.
@@angeloselarja Have u tried Krill oil? i prefer krill oil over fish oil. I have yet to hear Krill oil triggers arrhythmia, plus its also good for your eyes.
Doctor! If someone is vegitarian, from where the DHA and EPA sources will be consumed?
I would recomend natural fish. Real fresh fish a couple of times a week at least, whether you have a gallbladder or not. It's not going to kill you. Fresh food is the best.
lol wkwkw
A lot of salmon is farm raised in polluted water.
@@JoeLinux2000 Poluted? Where do you find poluted sea water? Farmed fish yes, but it's better than factory made food surely?
