Where can I find quality fish oil?

To find quality fish oil, here are some insights from Andrew Huberman and health expert Rhonda Patrick on the Huberman Lab.

Key Recommendations

1. Look for Reputable Brands:

   • Brands should ideally be tested for contaminants and provide transparency about their sourcing.
   • Some brands mentioned include:
     • AG1
     • Momentous

2. Quality and Testing:

   • Ensure the fish oil is third-party tested to confirm the concentration of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) and check for contaminants like mercury and PCBs.
   • The International Fish Oil Standards organization offers resources for third-party tested supplements 1.

3. Oxidation Levels:

   • Check for oxidation levels (Totox number). Aim for a Totox score under 10, ideally under 6, for optimal freshness and efficacy 1.

4. Storage:

   • Store fish oil in the refrigerator to minimize oxidation and extend shelf life 1.

5. Dosage:

   • A common recommendation is to aim for about 2 grams of EPA daily for health benefits. It's crucial to verify the EPA content listed on the supplement's label 1.
