For those interested in supplementing Omega-3 oil in their diet (which should probably be everyone), don't get Omega-3 off the rack at the store. Most Omega-3 supplements (even at GNC/Vitamin Shoppe/etc) consist of a small amount of Omega-3, and a lot of filler "fish oil" which does nothing for you. Furthermore, in order to get the levels of Omega-3 you need to really see benefits (roughly 500mg DHA and 500mg EPA per day, 1000mg DHA/1000mg EPA if you have heart disease - but ask your doctor) you would need to consume so much of this filler you will really start to see side effects (fishy breath, gastrointestinal distress, etc).
Here's an example of what you will see at the store: https://www.amazon.com/Nature-Made-Burpless-Omega-3-Softgels...
Notice there's 1000mg of fish oil there, but only 300 mg Omega-3 (only 250mg of which is actually DHA/EPA) and they don't even give you the ratio of DHA to EPA in that 250mg - you need an even split to see best benefits as they work together.
What you need to look for is pharmaceutical grade Omega-3, which is basically just concentrated so you don't get the filler oils. I'm a huge evangelist for OmegaVia (https://omegavia.com/), since they also use a enteric coating on the pills so they do not dissolve until they hit your small intestine. As a result there are zero fish breath/burp side effects. Give it a try, it's a game changer.
