Fish Oil explained in 250 Words

By Steven Ashton

I'm realizing the true benefits of taking fish oil supplementation.  Combining a high quality, highly concentrated chocolate liquid form fish oil along with better mechanics and a tweak to my nutrition, I have noticed a substantial decrease in my recovery time.

It is well documented science that taking Omega-3 fish oil improves overall health by decreasing inflammation and improving cellular function.  A good fish oil improves your body's ability to do just about anything.  All these benefits and a lot more can be had for about $1.60 per day.

What you need to know: Fish oil is the best source of omega 3, omega 3 contains DHA and EPA.

The omega 3's are essential fatty acids which are severely lacking in the typical diet.

Just because a product has 1 gram of fish oil does not necessarily mean that it contains 1 gram of omega 3's.  Lower quality fish oil supplements contain more fish oil than omega 3's  which means you have to take a much larger dosage to get the minimum omega 3's.

Look for the average EPA+DPA or total EPA+DPA. The higher the better.

The most concentrated forms are the best.

How Much? Optimal Daily Fish Oil Dosage: between 3.5-5 grams of combined EPA and DHA per day. SFH recommends a minimum of 3.5 mg per day!

Where To Get it? The most concentrated fish oil supplement that I know of is Stronger Faster Healthier's Super Mega 3 Contains a whopping 2615 mg of EPA/DHA per tablespoon! CrossFit9 store is the local source.  Order online and pick up the next time you are at the box.
