Fish Oil Isn't What You Think, Here's Why

  • 4 minutes ago

Fish oil has been marketed as a cure-all…

But here’s the nuance most people are missing:


👉 Omega-3s (EPA + DHA) are essential

👉 Balance between omega-3 and omega-6 is key


Most people today are overloaded with omega-6 fats (from seed oils + processed foods)… …and then trying to “fix it” by adding omega-3 supplements on top.


Here's what most folks don't realize:

👉 Many of those supplements aren’t pure omega-3 They often contain omega-6 fats too. So instead of correcting the problem, you could be keeping yourself stuck in it.


Now let’s talk about fish oil

👇 Many conventional fish oil supplements:

• Are highly processed and prone to oxidation (rancidity)

• May contain contaminants like mercury if poorly sourced

• Can contribute to oxidative stress when degraded

So while the intention is good… the quality often isn’t.


✨ Better ways to support healthy omega-3 levels:

• Whole foods: wild-caught salmon, sardines, anchovies

• Krill oil: more stable + highly bioavailable

• Algal oil: a clean, plant-based source of DHA (great for vegetarians & sensitive individuals)


✨ Also don’t skip this part: If you really want to optimize your health:

• Reduce excess omega-6 intake (seed oils, processed foods, chicken)

• Support your body with antioxidants
