Anyone supplementing with DHA?

[Renew1]

Curious if anyone is using a DHA powder, or other direct DHA supplement...

Health benefits of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) - PubMed

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is essential for the growth and functional development of the brain in infants. DHA is also required for maintenance of normal brain function in adults. The inclusion of plentiful DHA in the diet improves learning ability, whereas deficiencies of DHA are associated...

* I put it in this section because this is where most of the high-quality conversation happens about various compounds....
But also because this supplement could potentially be of great benefit to those using Anabolics.

Maybe not exactly what you mean as you said direct DHA, but I've been taking some form of omega-3 supplement for like 15-20 years daily. Right now getting 300 mg of E-DHA (Ethyl ester DHA) daily from my current omega-3 supplement. DHA should be good for the brain, eyesight and for the heart.

Thanks brother.
I take Omegas, but I saw this supplement, and it sounded interesting.

I bought 8oz of fake crabmeat aka alaskan pollock for 2.49 this week. Bought a ton of it, no cooking, just eat it or warm it up. I'll add quinoa/rice and dip it in some wasabi and pickled ginger.

I've been taking Biotest Flameout for quite some time, which is more DHA focused vs EPA (2,200mg DHA, 880mg EPA per serving).

I know things like this are harder to pinpoint, but do you have anything to report?
I'm leaning towards using it

Dang thought you had one. I always loved that junk when I was little but it’s more potato starch than pollack usually. Like very low protein.

 

[Cobranipple]

Yessir! 900mg of DHA derived from Algae, along with something like 100mg from krill oil and 620mg from ethyl ester fish oil.

I see many people here taking Fish oil/omega 3 supplements. Don’t you worry about oxidation level of these supplements and the totox score.

Almost none of the companies give any information about the oxidation level of their product. But I saw some studies suggesting majority of them are highly oxidized and rather detrimental than beneficial to health. What do you think?

I remember reading about this years ago, but at the time I got the impression, that it's about the lenght of time the capsules sit on a storage and store shelf and the oxidation happens through time. I saw some people say, that if you get those bad fishoil burps after taking a omega supp, thats a sign of some oxidation being happened. But that's just something some people posted on a forum, I don't know more about it. With some omegas I have gotten those bad burps, but most of the time I don't get them.

Some people say to check freshness of fish-oil we can break open one and if it taste like fish it’s oxidized. But don’t matter what brand every time I open a cap it taste somewhat fishy (dont taste or smell bad but fish like taste) Don’t it mean all of them are bad or good Im not sure.

Because it’s FISH oil. It should taste a little fishy.

Olive oil tastes a little like olives. Mac oil tastes very much like macadamia nuts. Coconut oil…you get it.

No I’m not worried. But if you are, just eat some baked salmon several nights a week and call it good.

 

[NoAddedHmones]

Sardines a few times a week and call it a day.

Ethyl-ester fish oil products are supposedly prone to oxidation and the easiest way to beat that is to just buy krill oil.
•More bioavailable
•Has the same Omega 3s
•Contains phospholipids that fish oil does not
•Contains astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant
My particular brand that I buy is Kori but Walmart brand is likely just as good.

It's the easiest way to make pollock more expensive than it otherwise would be, which leads to fewer funds available for junk food thus more cutz long-term brah. PM any further nutrition inquiries.
