(Part 2) Best omega-3 supplements according to redditors

Cycle: TTC for 22 months


Ovulation cycle day: I stopped using ovulation tests a few months ago as my cycles have always been pretty regular, and I started forgetting and didn't want to spend more money on them. I knew about when I would be ovulating, so we just made sure to hit that window. I noticed EWCM on CD 12 and my app calculated (I assume from previous history) that I ovulated on CD 16.


Relevant BD/BD method (SMEP, Shettles, etc.): BD on CD 9, 12, 14, 17 and 23!


Tracking methods and apps used: Glow app


Symptom spotting: I had fatigue and headache on CD 16 and 17 and the sore breasts began on CD 18 and haven't stopped since! I've also noticed in the past week that my nipples have been sore. The even bothered me throughout the day from rubbing on my bra! I thought it was definitely odd that my breasts were that sore for so long.


Day of positive test(s): The evening of Friday, June 2, CD 28, DPO 12! I bought a test on my way home from work because I just had a feeling. Honestly though, when I took it I was just expecting a negative, as that has always been the result. I could barely finish in the bathroom before it turned a blazing positive!! Didn't even have to use 1st morning urine!


Supplements and medications: I have been taking prenatals since before we started TTC. I wasn't sure how soon we'd conceive, so I wanted to be sure I had a good supply of nutrients in my body beforehand, in case it happened quickly. Here is the list:

New Chapter Prenatal - (3 pills a day)

NOW DHA/EPA - (1 pill a day)

Solger Folate - (1 pill a day)

Vital Proteins Beef Liver -
(I was taking 1 pill a day, now I upped it to 3 pills a day)

Viva Naturals Krill Oil - (1 pill every other day)

Great Lakes Collagen Powder - (I haven't been taking this while TTC, but I've already purchased some and will be using it every day!)


Birth control history, if relevant: I haven't been on birth control in many, many years.


Health conditions/medical tests: Chronic headaches, although I have noticed that it's pretty much food related. That and my acne. I've been eating much better the past couple months and it's made a HUGE difference. I never was tested for anything, since we were TTC for 22 months. Hubs did get tested in March and everything came back completely normal. I had my yearly checkup in July, so that was when I was going to discuss my next steps.

Other (advice, magic secrets, freaking out, miscellaneous): According to all the apps and my calculations, today I am 4 weeks, 1 day! Hubs and I couldn't be more excited!! I know it's still really early, and that scares us a little, but we've never seen a positive test before and today I AM PREGNANT! It's been a hard 22 months for the both of us, but when we saw that positive, it made it all worth it. As for how I'm feeling today: I have been cramping a little bit and my chest is still sore. No morning sickness yet, but honestly I can't wait for ALL THE SYMPTOMS! I'll be calling my doctor on Monday morning to schedule my first appointment. :D


If anyone has any questions, please let me know!

I WAS GONNA POST THIS TOO. I've been taking the oil for a little longer than you after some unsolicited advice from a customer haha. It has like the worst aftertaste ever but it's totally worth it. Glad it's working for you too!

You could always get these fatty acids from algae.

Here's where I get mine (I get my ALA from flaxseeds and my Omega 6s from walnuts but my DHA and EPA come from these vegcaps):

Happy supplementing. :)

Lecithin 1200mg pills 1 to 2 times a day. I take 2 pills 2 times a day. You can take 2 a day, 10 a day, whatever. My bottle says take 3 pills, 1 to 2 times daily. It takes about 2 weeks to build up it's full effect and is safe to take indefinitely. You'll notice a difference in a couple of days, so don't feel like you can't ejaculate for a few weeks or something. Since there is a bigger load, I orgasm easier. I think my orgasm threshold is based on how much 'load' is stored up. Women also take it for clogged up milk ducts. It's cheap stuff, about $15 for a bottle of 400.

http://www.amazon.com/NOW-Foods-Lecithin-Softgels-1200mg/dp/B0013OXEI2/

Pygeum also helps, but Lecithin is the biggest one, and safest. I don't feel comfortable about taking pygeum indefinitely.

OP, here's the vegan D3 I buy.

Bonus vegan omega-3.

Edit: to answer your discussion question, my line is my health. By law, at least in the United States, all medicine and medical procedures must be tested on animals. Also, most prescriptions meds contain animal products already (gelatin, lactose, shellac, etc). It sucks, but we have to live in the confines of reality. I am vegan as far as is practicable and possible, after all.

Sorry to hear that. Here is a vegan omega 3 supplement: https://www.amazon.com/Potent-Vegan-Supplement-Essential-Vitamin/dp/B00QCR00SW

this has omega 3, 6 and 9's: https://www.amazon.com/Vegetarian-Formula-Essential-Purity-Products/dp/B01EVITLHE?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_2&th=1

This was my question. Also, is it available on Amazon?

Edit: It seems like another fat, to aide in absorption. I read a few articles, and not much was conclusive.

I found some on Amazon here.

This may catch some flack on here, but you could consider investing in some soy lecithin. It's a pretty good emulsifier and one that is probably most accessible for home use. There are plenty other emulsifiers and even different types of lecithin. Then we get involved with HLB values, but we'll save that discussion for a later date. There are food-based sources of lecithin like mustard and egg yolk, you could try that I suppose.

Source on soy lecithin

If you're curious about naming convention of emulsions, read on...

The emulsion you're describing is an oil-in-water emulsion. Oil being the dispersed phase and water/milk being the continuous phase. (Milk itself is an oil-in-water emulsion, but let's ignore that for simplicity sake) There are different ways these phases interact. When the dispersed phase is nicely distributed in the continuous phase, we call that a good emulsion. When things go wrong we call it:

• Coalescence - this is when dispersed phase particles come together and touch and then proceed to form a larger particles
  
• Flocculation - this is when particles attract to each other and form "flocs", the particles remain intact but form agglomerate-like structures
  
• Sedimentation - the dispersed particles settle to the bottom of the emulsion; usually this means that the dispersed phase density is great than that of the continuous phase
  
• Creaming - the inverse of sedimentation; particles rise
  
• Phase inversion - when the phases switch places; whipped cream is a version of this
  
• Others...look up Ostwald Ripening if you want your mind blown!
  
  Here's a picture summing it up.
  
  When an emulsion "breaks" this is a combination of creaming and coalescence. In your situation fat droplets rise and merge together to form an oil slick. So how do we prevent this? An emulsifier is the easiest way. The exact mechanism of how emulsifiers work is very complicated and can't be fully explained without talking about stuff like Gibbs' isotherm. Looking at it simply, emulsifiers prevent the dispersed particles from coming together.

Pro tip: Add 1tsp per lb of butter sunflower leciten when you add the herb. Works as an emulsifier that helps bind the thc to the fats.

WANTS:

• Lululemon Boogie Shorts. They are tiny, but I finally have the confidence to wear them and I absolutely love them. So comfortable and allow for big range of motion. The roll down ones are my favorites. Drooling over the pretty blue pair and the herringbone pair.
  
• Knee Sleeves. My sister is getting me a set.. really excited!
  
• Fabletics Doon Sports Bras. I have one and it's always the first one I wear after I do laundry, which means it's my favorite :)
  
• Outdoor Voices Hoodie. I won an Outdoor Voices tank top in a competition and the fabric is just like butter. I signed up for their mailing list, which gives you a 20% code, so I may end up getting this for myself eventually. They are $$ like Lululemon, but made in the USA.
  
  WHAT I WOULD GIVE:
  
  
• Mesh Shoe Bag. So nice when you have a pair of lifters.
  
• No Slip Hair Ties. My absolute favorite. My hair actually stays in a ponytail when I use these, even while doing stuff like jumping rope!
  
• Mary Jane's Pain Relief Salve. Not exactly legal in all US states (yet), but this stuff works better than any salve I have ever used.
  
• Arnica Gel. I put this on any bruising I get from the barbell after a workout and the bruises heal much faster!
  
• Life Extension Fish Oil. My favorite fish oil ever.

I've been getting mine from Amazon. This one. It's the only one I've found without carrageenan which my bowels don't like. The amount of carrageenan in a capsule may be too little to matter.

I also take b12, D3 (fungus derived), a multivitamin, and a tiny dose of calcium carbonate (stirred into oats or whatever). The b12 is a 1000 mcg tablet take at four-day intervals, and the D3 is 5000 IUs taken at two-day intervals.

Okay, so a while ago I said I was going to make a gummy bear tutorial and I never did so I thought it was about time I at least made a write up for them. This recipe will get you right around 200 gummy bears.

Tools:

• Small non stick pot with a lid
  
• medium non stick pot
  
• 60ml Syringe - Here
  
• stiff silicone spatula - Here
  
• 2 small pyrex dishes - Here
  
• Candy theremometer - Here
  
• Fork to stir with
  
• Gummy bear molds (or any other you like) - Here I also just found these
  
• Measuring Cup
  
• Measuring Spoon
  
• Strainer - Here
  
• Medium/large bowl
  
• Partchment paper
  
• A few large tupperware containers
  
• Dram droppers for the flavorings - Here
  
  Ingredients:
  
  
• 1 Package of Jello (85 grams if you have a scale) in the flavor of gummies you want
  
• LorAnn oils concentrated flavorings - Here
  
• LorAnns oils mold Inhibitor - Here
  
• LorAnns oils Preserve-it Antioxidant - Here
  
• 5 Tbsp plain gelatin powder - low quality / less chewie here High quality / more chewie here
  
• 1 tsp of Soy lecthin powder - Here
  
• 1/2 cup of Real Fruit juice of the flavor you want to make, get creative here, needs to be cold. Cold water can also be used but the flavor is not as good.
  
• 1/4 cup of sugar
  
• Glycerin - Here
  
• 6 grams of Concentrates (AKA: BHO, Shatter, Wax, Oil, Hash oil, etc)
  
• 1 Tbsp Coconut oil
  
• Cornstartch
  
  Decarbing
  
  Pre-heat your oven to 250F - 260F, use the digital theremometer to keep an eye on the temp to make sure it stays around there and does not get above 260F. I like to place my concentrates into the small pyrex dish and decarb in that. Put the dish with your concentrates in the oven for 30 minutes. You can check it around the 30 minute mark and see if it is fully decarbed. Look for it to be pretty clear of all little "carbination" like bubbles. When those are mostly gone you are done decarbing. It will take around 30 minutes. Go a little longer if you want couch lock / sleepy time gummies.
  
  When it is done decarbing pull it out and set it to the side for a minute.
  
  Infusing the coconut oil
  
  Grab your medium sized pot and put a few inches of water in it. get it to a boil then turn the temp all the way down to a very low heat. When the water is ready place your dish with the freshly decarbed oil into the water bath and add the 1 Tbsp of coconut oil to the dish.
  
  Let the two mix for a few minutes until they are nicely combined. It shouldn't take long maybe 10 minutes max.
  
  Grease your molds
  
  At this point if you dont have silicone molds (I do and I still grease mine for precautions) grease your molds so you don't forget to do it before adding your gummies.
  
  Preping fruit juice (or water)
  
  In the second small pyrex dish pour your real fruit juice / water or whatever base liquid you are using for your gummies. I havent tried much besides fruit juice and water but you can experiment with other liquids, but don't do an experiment on a batch with THC in it just in case something doesn't work out.
  
  To the fruit juice / water add 1 tsp of soy lecthin and stir with the fork. Place the dish in the fridge for 5 minutes or so and stir again. Let it sit in the fridge stirring occasionaly until the soy lecthin is fully desolved.
  
  This liquid mixture NEEDS TO BE COLD for the blooming process to work so make sure to keep it cold.
  
  Mixing the dry ingredients
  
  In your small non-stick pot mix the following together: 85 grams of Jello, 5 Tbsp of Gelatin, 1/4 cup of sugar. Completely mix them all together and dont let any of them get wet yet. Stir and stir until they are completely mixed.
  
  Blooming
  
  Take your mixed dry ingredients and pour in your friut juice (water) soy lecthin mixture. Stir it and get everything evenly mixed and make sure there are no lumps. When everything is evenly mixed place the lid on the small pot and let it sit for 10 minutes.
  
  This is called "blooming" the gelatin and allows the gelatin to absorbe the water. The water needs to be cold because gelatin activates at about 120F and after that will start to set when it cools. We don't want it setting right now.
  
  

repost since i've done this for someone else before and good luck!


Hey man i'm also schizo 20M and like you have had an almost complete regression in symptoms, I attribute this to both medication and supplements(2.5mg zyprexa) which is not even considered a therapeutic dose yet it does the job for me, I typically take it 2-3 times a week and other then making me sleepy I don't experience less motivation just general lethargy. Anyways now for the supplements, i've done extensive research and experimentation and id' say the most relevant ones are N.A.C,EPA fish oil, and sarcosine also throwing in a bcomplex multivitamin with folic acid could indirectly help.

Sarcosine is known to do exactly what you want which is increase motivation, it also seems to help somewhat with social skills which I honestly have not noticed i've seen benefit in motivation though and overall sense of well being. http://schizophrenia.com/?p=740
//N.A.C has been shown to reduce inflammation WHICH IS KEY in getting rid of positive symptoms and helps with negative ones. In my experience this reduced my stress by a moderate amount. http://schizophrenia.com/?page_id=706
E.P.A fish oil has been shown to help prevent schizo, it reduces inflammation, and protects the brain from further damage. In my experience it helped with my overall sense of well being as well as with anxiety.

Now for reputable sources Fish oil:https://www.amazon.com/Nordic-Naturals-Promotes-Optimal-Function/dp/B002CQU4Z6/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1476809252&sr=8-1&keywords=nordic+naturals+fish+oil+epa (I take 2 g a day)
Sarcosine http://brainvitaminz.com/products/sarcosine-180-gram
I take 2 grams of sarcosine a day. N.A.C this one is easier find and purity usually isn't a problem I take 1,000mg, if i'm under alot of stress 2,000mg never exceed 2,000mg
Taking these three supplements have benefited me greatly and have shown to be even more effective when taken with medication. My symptoms have regressed so much that I can take adderall with little to no increase in positive symptoms.

Some other things you should look into Meditation:Just 20 minutes a day split into two sessions
Low inflammation, No grain, low sugar diet (>26Grams of sugar) I'm currently in the process of creating a low cost accessible diet that I can send you when i'm finished if you'd like, infact feel free to PM me, text me/call me what ever I'd be glad to help.

Here's one: Black Seed Oil - 120 Softgel Capsules (Non-GMO & Vegetarian) Premium Cold-Pressed Nigella Sativa Producing Pure Black Cumin Seed Oil with Vitamin E - Made in The USA - 500mg Each, 1000mg Per Serving https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0714PK8VV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_KDuDDb1XEY8VX

I take Life Extension Foundation Omega-3 because I trust LEF implicitly, I wanted the best money could buy, and I sense there's a scientific justification for including olive oil extract. However, you've inspired me to do a little more research, and it looks like I could totally be saving a ton of money by using a less expensive brand without sacrificing the quality of the omega-3.. I could even double my dose and save a lot of money.

Check out this gem of an Amazon review...

I have read that 2-3g of omega-3 oil is a 'theraputic' dose, used clinically for the amelioration of some cardiac, neurodegenerative, and inflammatory disorders. I think the more omega-3 you take, the better, but I would hesitate to exceed 2g without consulting my doctor. According to researchers at Oregon State University, contrary to the general perspective that more is better, "excess amounts of omega-3 fatty acids can alter immune function sometimes in ways that may lead to a dysfunctional immune response to a viral or bacterial infection".

Concerning your question about omega-3 supplements: Fish oil isn't vegetarian. As other people have mentioned, there are great vegan omega-3 supplements based on algae. Check out this one as an example.

Of course, make sure that your doctor is fine with it before switching. As long as the goal is simply to get EPA and DHA, I don't see why it would be a problem to use the vegan supplement instead of fish oil.

About recipes: I'd recommend checking out this great database which originates from this post in r/veganfitness.

You could also ask your vegan teammates about recipes. I'm sure they'll be happy to give you some tips, vegans are generally glad to help others move towards a vegan lifestyle.

Totally off topic, but I gave my son a high DHA fish oil supplement. (supposed to help with mental health, depression, ADHD)

Coincidentally, it completely cleared up his skin. He discovered this accidentally when he ran out and started breaking out again. He begged me to reorder it.

At first I didn't believe him, but I tried it myself and have not had any acne since. I've been taking it for about a year now.

Now I've put it on auto-delivery, we're not allowed to run out!

I really wish someone had suggested this when I was in high school.

edit: It's this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MXG1G2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

There are many vegan sourced EPA/DHA supplements if that is what you are aiming for. For example:

https://www.amazon.com/Deva-Nutrition-DHA-EPA-Nutritional-Supplement/dp/B00AN86PGC/ref=sr_1_10_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1536801651&sr=8-10&keywords=vegan+epa+dha

As others have already pointed out eating meat even once a month won't be cost effective if you were to eat enough of it to get the vitamins and minerals in a high enough concentration. Absorbability is also a concern in this case as you run into the same issues as taking a multivitamin (some things such as calcium and iron can't be absorbed at the same time).

All you really need to supplement is B12. Also D3 if you live in a colder climate. For optimal health adding a tablespoon of ground flax seed and a EPA/DHA omega-3 supplement. Everything else (such as iron and calcium) you'll get enough of if you're eating a balanced diet (whole grains, beans, leafy greens, etc.).

Here's a cost breakdown:

• B12 ~$0.13/day
  
• D3 ~$0.30/day
  
• EPA/DHA omega-3 ~$0.42/day
  
  So that's less than $15/month for the first two and an additional $13/month for the last one which you really should be taking anyway (unless you regularly eat fish, but that's really not a good idea).
  
  Edit: ground flax seeds are ~$0.16/day (~$5/month) if you buy them pre-ground, cheaper if you buy them in bulk and grind them yourself.

I believe the reason people take fish oil is for the omega fatty acids. These also naturally occur in other foods, it just happens to be very abundant in fish oil. Amazon has some vegan options which are about the same price or cheaper compared to the fish oil options, but you might be able to find vegan options at a natural food store/pharmacy as well.

I notice my skin and hair are all around shinier and healthier feeling. Other than that I don't notice any major differences. Maybe there are little things that are going on inside that I really can't pinpoint, that DO make a difference. Either way, I'm happy with the one I've been taking for about 4 months now. Link below. Love this brand of supplements.

Soy lecithin is very good for you and has a mild taste (I like the taste). I put a spoonful on yogurt or mix it into other meals (like beans). It's also an emulsifier so it's great to add to smoothies and the like, because it helps.. well... emulsify whatever you're mixing.

It's also MUCH cheaper to buy a big container of it than to buy supplements - which is just the granules packaged in capsules and the price jacked up.

Here is a link to the kind I usually buy - great price, too.

https://www.amazon.com/Fearn-Natural-Foods-Lecithin-Granules/dp/B00014FCRQ/ref=sr_1_6_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1499905379&sr=8-6&keywords=soy+lecithin

thank me later.

I take these and recently had labs done with my functional medicine doctor and she said my omega 3 levels looked great and that she usually never sees normal omega 3 levels in other patients.

My advice would be:

1. Really the only thing that would help with potency would be to add some lecithin.
   
   Which would not actually increase potency, but makes it bioavailable and able to pass through cell membrane. So, with lecithin, it will hit you faster and you body will be able to process more of the cannabanoids because it's not having to be processed through any organs (i.e. liver).
   
   As far as the quantity of lecithin goes, I have never been able to get a concrete answer, with data to back it up, about the ratio of lecithin to hash oil.
   
   But I will say that I have seen 2 different medical marijuana processing lab's recipes for tincture calling for almost a 1:1 ratio (one called for 1200g lecithin to 1400g hash oil). I've read a few reputable forum's that state the close to 1:1 ratio for hash oil to lecithin as well.
   
   All that being said the lecithin is almost certainly (as in every type I've tried) going to effect the color, consistency and taste of the final product.
   
   My advice on lecithin would be once you have evaporated as much ethonal off as you want, to add as much lecithin as you feel comfortable with. Even a little bit is going to help and you can't really put to much in (unless you are putting more lecithin than the rest of the tincture by weight, which would be noticeably a lot).
   
   2.Do not strain it. The main reason anyone strains edibles is to remove the plant matter. Which if using bho there should be none.
   
   
2. Once it has been decarbed it is (almost >90%) entirely active cannabanoids. So letting it sit is going to make a negligible difference.
   
   Last 3 tips.
   
   
3. I add a little bit of honey to give it a more tolerable taste.
   
   
4. Use low heat to homogenize the mixture, after adding lecithin, or just add the lecithin and stir while it's warm.
   
   
5. Adding the lecithin is going to either increase the portion size or decrease the potency per volume.
   This is simply because the added lecithin will increase the overall volume.
   So a 10ml serving of tincture without lecithin has more room for cannabanoids than a 10ml serving of tincture with lecithin.
   
   TLDR; adding lecithin (up to an almost 1:1 ratio) will help the tincture hit you faster and prevent your liver and digestive system from destroying precious cannabanoids, No need to strain it, and no need to let it sit once it has been decarbed.
   
   PM me if you need any clarification, but the process you have laid out will certainly work.
   
   Edit: looks like amazon no longer sells the lecithin I use (Piping Rock liquid sunflower lecithin).
   But here is a good alternate.
   
   Https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J8ET8IO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_1ethAbYZE3BM7
   
   I advise getting it from an online retailer, since it is hard to find anywhere, but potentially health food stores.
   
   My suggestion is to stick with liquid lecithin as opposed to granules and to get sunflower as opposed to soy lecithin.
   
   A lot of people have negative reactions to soy based lecithin, this is likely due to them being made from GMO soy beans which are known for causing stomach discomfort of varying degrees.

[Here ya go] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00250UC92/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_i_jh09Ab76B6T75)

Yes! As long as I continue with the daily regiment, it's keeping the rash at bay. I did miss one day, or evening (can't remember exactly), and I noticed a few new bumps. The original rash was scattered across my entire side/front of my torso (I had it BAD). Now it's reduced to discolored skin, that should fade away with time!

• Black Seed oil softgels: two gels twice a day (=1 tsp) https://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Herbs-Premium-Black-Soft-Gels/dp/B017KQZC6I/ref=sr_1_5_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1521477648&sr=1-5&keywords=amazing+herbs+black+seed+oil&dpID=51fJsWM3q7L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
  
  
• Black Seed oil liquid: applied to exposed rash twice a day when I get up in the morning, and before bed. I just wear a shirt to bed so the oil slick doesn't transfer to my sheets! https://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Herbs-Cold-Pressed-Black-Seed/dp/B0009J69I4/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1521477755&sr=1-4&keywords=amazing%2Bherbs%2Bblack%2Bseed%2Boil&th=1
  
  
• Milk Thistle: I take one capsule twice a day, with the softgels. https://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Silymarin-Marianum-Promotes/dp/B0013OULVA/ref=sr_1_5_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1521477799&sr=1-5&keywords=milk+thistle
  
  I'm so god damn happy that this worked. As I think I mentioned, this is my second time in Keto, and I stopped previously because of the rash. The first time the rash took over my entire abdomen, and I looked diseased. I discovered this thread just in time, because the rash was 100% ramping up to previous levels.

Ah interesting. I've been using some website that rates supplement quality and this was what I decided on for the past 2 years.


NuTru Vegan Omega 3 DHA Supplements: O-Mega-Zen 3 Vegetarian Algae Oil Supplement with 150 mg EPA and 300 mg DHA - Plant Based Omega3 Essential Fatty Acids for Brain, Joint, and Heart - 40 Softgels https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0072POELM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Bd4XDbPKZWZAV

I never heard of EPA only fish oil, but I guess we learn everyday. It looks like the article just wants to make their own product to stand out among the many fish oil products. After quickly checking on Amazon, looking for EPA only fish oil, even this one has DHA in it, although the ratio is 4:1 instead of the usual 2:1

http://www.amazon.com/Nordic-Naturals-Xtra-1000-Softgels/dp/B002CQU4Z6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425256232&sr=8-1&keywords=epa+fish+oil

This one has only EPA in it, the same 500 mg like the one in your link.
If you click on the small pictures of this product, that explains the supposed benefits of EPA only:

1. Works better for mood disorders, depression.
   
2. Doesn't rise the "bad" LDL cholesterol.
   
   If you don't worry about your cholesterol AND you don't take it for depression, I would just stick to the normal fish oils. Here is a site that helps you to choose:

For lecithin do you have a recommended brand? Head the soy version is not good or whatever. Would this be good?

https://www.amazon.com/NOW-Lecithin-1200-400-Softgels/dp/B0013OXEI2/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1

I got this stuff. 1200mg/day. I've always had a pretty respectable volume, but this gave me another ~50%. Results within a week for me.

Edit: One negative side effect is that I definitely NEED to ejaculate no less than every 2 days or it starts to get a little uncomfortable.

This is what I take :]

http://www.amazon.com/NOW-Foods-Lecithin-Softgels-1200mg/dp/B0013OXEI2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347387299&sr=8-1&keywords=lecithin

I thought it’d be useful to post a nicely-formatted list of everything I was taken, with links to the products as well as the evidence-based papers and studies for each.

Methodology

I won’t take anything based on someone saying “this worked for me.” It needs to have real, scientific evidence. I have read hundreds of journal articles, seeking out quality evidence for things that have been shown to help with ulcerative colitis.

Of things with evidence, I tend to focus on things that have the fewest side effects possible.

Unfortunately, some of these things are only available as “natural supplements” which means that rather than the active ingredient being perfectly isolated, they contain a bunch of other random stuff from wherever that came from. I tried to choose companies for the natural supplements that seemed reputable, so at least I’d hopefully be getting what they claimed I would.

Background

I was having a flare—including abdominal pain and blood in my stool. I continued taking my oral mesalamine, then as I had for previous flares, added a mesalamine enema, used nicotine patches, and took wheat grass tablets. I added each one every two weeks. After eight weeks, the blood had long since stopped, but the pain didn’t.

I contacted my doctor. He added prednisone at 40 mg/day. That made things worse. After a week, he upped me to 60 mg/day. After one week of that, and no improvement, I added many other things, as outlined below.

After taking all of these things for a month, the pain hadn’t stopped.

I had a colonoscopy, which showed no inflammation. None. My doctor and I agree the pain is likely from something else; I will soon have a CT scan to help figure out what.

Do any of the things below work? In theory any, all, or none of them could have contributed to my colon being perfectly normal and healthy. There is no way to know which, if any of these, did anything.

Everything I was taking, dosages, and evidence

IMPORTANT: Almost all of the studies referenced below combine these things with mesalamine. So nothing is a substitute for that! These must be taken in conjunction with mesalamine.


|Drug|Dosage|Study|Quality of Evidence|
|--|--|--|--|
|Prednisone ℞|40-60 mg/daily, then taper|Many|Excellent
|Lialda (mesalamine) ℞|2.4 g/daily|Many|Excellent
|Apriso (mesalamine) ℞|1.5 g/day|Many|Excellent
|Mesalamine Enema ℞|Nightly|Many|Excellent
|Visbiome (was called VSL#3)|225 billion CFU/day|Meta-analysis|Good
|Nicotine Patch|14 mg/day|Meta-analysis; Placebo-controlled|Good
|DHA/EPA (also sold as “fish oil”; this one is vegetarian because I am)|1080 g DHA+540 mg EPA/day|Meta-analysis|Good
|Wheat grass tablets|21 tablets/day|Placebo-controlled|Good; small study
|Sunflower lecithin|10 g/day|Meta-analysis|Good to moderate
|Curcumin (from tumeric)|2.6 g/day|Meta-analysis|Moderate
|EGCg|400 mg/day|Rat study|Good in rats; poor in humans; WARNING: Dosages over 338 mg/day cause liver toxicity
|Bupropion immediate release ℞|100 mg three times/day|Rat study; TNFα only|Poor; only shown to lower TNFα; no studies on its effect on UC; study done in rats
|Rutin|1.8 g/day|Rat study|Poor

℞ indicates a prescription drug. Mesalamine and prednisone are commonly prescribed for ulcerative colitis. Bupropion is normally prescribed as an antidepressant so your gastroenterologist may be reluctant to prescribe it for this, especially since there are no studies of its effect on ulcerative colitis in humans.

Happy you've decided to make the switch!

===

Many people who would otherwise be able to cannot stick with it because they try to do it overnight. Consider that it's better overall if you have 10% reduction (two meals a week vegan) for one year, much less several, than if you are completely vegan for a month.

===

Go at a pace that makes you comfortable. You can try to change one meal a week, and increase week to week. So the first week you have one vegan meal, the next you have two, and so on. If you're comfortable moving faster than that, then go for it. But the key is to maintain the gains.

===

Also be sure you're getting b12, iodine, omegas, and possibly d3 if you test for a deficiency and/or do not get much sun. I've linked to the best brands/foods I know for getting these nutrients. If you use iodized salt, that will have iodine; but I prefer getting it from whole food sources and so I put about 1-2 tbsp of the dulse flakes in a smoothie in the morning. For omegas, I use pumpkin, hemp, and ground flax seeds (freshly ground is best) as well as the supplement I've linked. Spirulina is also a great whole food mutli-vitamin and mineral that's also very high in protein (57% by weight; compare to lean meat which is 26%).

Depends on the type of product but the ones I used actually said that the shell/coating helps with masking the taste.

Sunflower lecithin works too, and it's not as poo-pooed upon by the health conscious.

• https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MU73UKS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It allows the THC to bind to the butter or oils better. Most professional bakers are using it now a days.. here's the exact one that I always use; https://www.amazon.com/Foods-Sunflower-Liquid-Lecithin-Ounce/dp/B00J8ET8IO/ref=sr_1_5_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1483742907&sr=1-5&keywords=sunflower+lecithin
theres alot of other kinds out there too. Just make sure you grab the liquid bottle and not the gel capsule pills, which I have mistakenly bought a few times lol..

This is what I take: https://www.amazon.com/Omega-3-6-9-Vegetarian-Formula-Softgels/dp/B01EVITLHE/ref=sr_1_11_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1485874729&sr=8-11&keywords=vegan+omega

I bought two bottles on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004TBCT4G?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

But I was at Walmart last night and saw they actually have Krill Oil in the supplement isle and it's way cheaper.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Spring-Valley-Krill-Oil-300mg-60ct/16816395

I guess one might be able to argue a quality difference to justify the price difference, but I cannot speak to that. I guess if you compare how many mg per serving, that makes the Viva cheaper

So my latest thought is why aren't more people vegan? Like there's so many people who feel bad for all of the animal cruelty in the world in the food industry, makeup industry, and tons more. It's much easier then people think and it bothers me that it's not emphasized more in society. Even though the diet transition could be challenging at first, the difficulty is temporary and there are so many supplements if people are worried about not getting all of their daily nutrients. I use them myself and they're a big help to my vegan diet.
For anyone struggling with keeping a vegan diet or getting their daily nutrients, this is what really helped me out.

My favorite Vegan Protein Powder - https://amzn.to/2Ic5t51
My favorite daily vitamin - https://amzn.to/2FCT9oU

I wanna see more vegans in the world so I hope these are helpful to you

Thanks man. I never have sardines, though I don't mind them. Think I will make it a daily treat. I'll also be getting probably the same fish oil as you. http://amzn.com/B002WTCLHC

I've been using this stuff with great success!

these are the ones I got:

https://www.amazon.com/VEGAN-OMEGA-Supplement-Cardiovascular-Supplements/dp/B01MYE95BQ

they're pretty concentrated so you only have to take one. Some of the cheaper ones are half the price but you have to take two.

Are you taking a vegan DHA supplement? I found a good one online at Amazon Source Naturals Vegan Omegas

I get coconut cream and cook it in seasonings garlic, pepper, onion, maybe some nutritional yeast flakes, and it tastes like cheese sauce, put it on errything.

To mix coconut oil into drinks like coffee emulsifiers are your friend. I recommend lecithin powder or flakes, it has some supposed health benefits on its own supposedly. Coconut cream usually has guar gum in it added, which is another emulsifier.

+1 for JanSysala's Norid Naturals comment. I bought this bottle (from my local health food store and in the orange flavor). It's been amazing how much better it is than the pill form.

Be sure to refrigerate it after opening though.

I would avoid it. My dad takes this one which doesn't have carrageenan. Granted I've seen a study saying green tea extract isn't good either but I think it's safer than carrageenan. https://www.amazon.com/VEGAN-OMEGA-Supplement-Cardiovascular-Supplements/dp/B01MYE95BQ

Sorry idk why I said soy I meant sunflower hahah, must have had some when I typed that

https://www.amazon.ca/Now-Foods-Sunflower-Liquid-Lecithin/dp/B00J8ET8IO/ref=mp_s_a_1_5/134-7325114-5056003?ie=UTF8&qid=1539747312&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=sunflower+lecithin&dpPl=1&dpID=41SSlHiK4pL&ref=plSrch

From time to time but I experiment on my own a lot. I have even infused home made bread.

Always use the secret ingredient when infusing oils for that extra punch.

Just found out the difference in concentration (and thus in budget) between fish oil softgels and liquid fish oil.

God dammit.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009J69I4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

That seller sucks, ships without packaging and half the people get a broken bottle they have to return. Great price though. Amazon has a couple they sell but no premium. Amazing herbs website is another place you can purchase it.

I've tried both and the caps are just oil in capsule form, so it's still practically the exact same thing. I prefer caps and I got them from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0714PK8VV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

No problem. I'd suggest that instead of becoming food concerned, you just take supplements and eat a sensible diet. That's a whole lot easier for me.

If you take these two everyday you'll be getting a considerably healthier amount of key minerals and vitamins:

https://www.amazon.com/Deva-Vegan-Vitamins-Multivitamin-Supplement/dp/B001GAOHVG?th=1

https://www.amazon.com/Deva-Nutrition-DHA-EPA-Nutritional-Supplement/dp/B00AN86PGC/ref=cm_cr_dp_asin_lnk

Well, if you're correct, then I probably already know the good ones. I'm currently using this: https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Way-Mega-DHA-1000mg-Softgels/dp/B000MXG1G2

...because it has more DHA...

It says it's molecularly distilled, tested for PCBs, heavy metals (including mercury) and other impurities. Think that's good?

There are two types of omega 3 fatty acids. The first type are the long-chain fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA). These are the animal derived fatty acids. They are the biologically relevant molecules for the presumed benefits of omega 3 consumption (cardiovascular, inflammatory, etc.)

The second type of omega 3 is the short-chain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). ALA is not biologically useful and must be converted to a long-chain fatty acid by the liver. Unfortunately the conversion process is slow and incomplete so one cannot reach pharmacologically relevant omega-3 levels by consuming ALA alone.

If you would like to receive the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids with a vegan diet they do have some [algae derived EPA/DHA products](Source Naturals Vegan Omega-3s EPA-DHA, Omega-3s for Heart and Brain Health Fish Oil Alternative https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A9I2F5G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_owhQybEBQH05N) on the market. I haven't seen any research on these though, and they are expensive considering most of the research on fish oil showing efficacy has used doses in excess of 5g/day. Taking that much algae-derived EPA/DHA may be cost prohibitive.

thanks for your detailed response.

the jury seems out on uridine in healthy individuals and that study linked is for mice, and the effective dose is massive iirc (https://www.reddit.com/r/Nootropics/comments/6o9z3z/chronic_uridine_administration_induces_fatty/). if true, what does this mean for the happy stack? stop taking it once you're happy? heh.

basically i'm asking for advice around if i should continue at all, or stop.

• i believe the multivitamin has me covered on the methylfolate (?), although it's listed as L-5methyltetrahydrofolate and calcium folinate. here's a link to the multi:
  
  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JBCC5LK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  
• i have a CDP Choline that i was going to add as part of the stack. i eat 2 eggs a day, but i don't consider this a major source of choline.
  
  
• i eat a decent amount of fish as well, and the DHA supplement i've been taking is this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MXG1G2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Update! I bought this from Whole Foods in their Whole Body (supplement/probiotic) section. I'm applying the oil to the affected area as needed throughout the day and taking it orally (1 teaspoon twice a day). It hasn't even been 24 hours and I can already notice a marked difference. Hoping to stick with it and see results!

I take this supplement, but as others said there are plant sources.

Too much of anything will not help. You're getting way too much EPA, which has potent anti-inflammatory effects, and perhaps not enough DHA. The beginning recommended ratio is 2:1, and starting dose is around 1000mg DHA/500mg EPA.

Try this: https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Way-Mega-DHA-1000mg-Softgels/dp/B000MXG1G2/ref=sr_1_2_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1467730575&sr=1-2&keywords=nature+dha

500 mg per capsule, I take two in the morning and one before bed.

Also tried Rhodilia Rosea first time today bit too soon to tell if there's a benefit

This the fish oil you use? http://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrition-Fish-Oil-Softgels/dp/B003RDGNY4

I'm reading that it doesn't show the EPA/DHA breakdown? And enteric-coated? I remember reading something by... hermann(?) on this subreddit that enteric-coated pills tend to break too early and don't dissolve in the intestine as necessary?

i take viva labs Krill oil

Thanks Usernameuntakenable for your question. hydroxy or cyanocobolamin are both fine. methylcobolamin is unstable in air and has limited shelf life. It's actually quite difficult to become B12 deficient so the B12 quality is not a make or break for this stack.
The main ingredients of the stack are SAM-e, vitamin B6, alphaGPC, Vitamin B1, EPA. The other ingredients support/enhance the function of these, but have modest impact. Here is an article from Psychology Today that explains everything one would need to know to make the most out of an EPA supplementation.
[What Are the Real Differences Between EPA and DHA? To reduce cellular inflammation, you need more EPA than DHA.] (https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/in-the-zone/201204/what-are-the-real-differences-between-epa-and-dha)

A few good sources to get started:

-[NOW SAMe 200 mg, [Enteric Coated] 60 Tablets] (https://www.amazon.com/NOW-SAMe-200-60-Tablets/dp/B0013OW3V6/ref=sr_1_17_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1501299921&sr=1-17&keywords=sam-e)

With daily supplementation, the B1 dose here should be fine.

Here's what I am looking at:

• Multivitamin (LEF 2-Per-Day Capsules)
  
• Fish Oil (LEF)
  
• Vitamins D + K (LEF)
  
  I will probably pick up some cheap 5-HTP and Rhodiola form NOW just to try out.
  
  I am wondering if I will be getting too much Vitamin D from this as the multi has 2,000UI and the D+K has 5,000UI... The multi doesn't have K and that D+K supplement looks pretty good, especially with the added Iodine... does this combo look like I might be overdoing it?

Is this the type of lecithin you are talking about?

Fish oil supplements are produced from the animal remains after killing the fish.

If you are interested in getting omega fats without animal products try an Algae Omega supplement like this one. I always say go to the source--that's where fish get the nutrient, so we can get it and actually conserve energy. There isn't enough fish to feed the world population, but there is certainly enough algae.

Do you have a preferred brand? I have tried both of these

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0714PK8VV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_lOTIBb36D36SM
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0728L7QZG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_lPTIBbPP5DRWE

This would probably do the trick: Nordic Naturals, Omega-3, Lemon, 1560 mg, 16 fl oz (473 ml) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002WTCLHC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_RWCSAbBGN7T9J

There are a few other brands that also do a liquid.

I go for a fish oil that rates well with IFOS. Rancid fish oil is worse for you then not taking fish oil.

I like this one, take about 2-4 a day.

http://www.amazon.com/Life-Extension-Omega-3-Seasame-Softgels/dp/B002HIHZ6A

I've read that liquid lecithin is a mess - although I've never used it. I use dried soy lecithin in my Magic Butter Machine for cannaoil.

I know you are making edibles - but any reason you can't directly microdose the RSO? I've read that it is supposed to be already decarbed but I haven't tried it myself

I use Source Naturals Omega-3. It was the cheapest on Amazon. I think there’s only 1 plant in the US that makes this so they’re all probably the same except Opti3 because they’re UK based.

I’ve read that heat can inactivate or destroy the omega 3 fatty acids so I only order this in the winter. I just increase my flax intake during the summer.

Some people rave about the pork clouds.

• coconut oil

• Krill Oil for omega 3 - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004TBCT4G
  
  

What soy lecithin do you use OH? I know you're one of the best cooks around so I thought I would ask you, would this be fine?

Depends on how many pills you want to take per day..

I take ON's Fish Oil, 3 pills/day. I've tried cheaper ones but the fishy taste/burps are terrible with those. ON's fish oil is worth the little extra money.

Krill oil is better absorbed and more stable. Choose one with plenty of astaxanthin (the anti-inflammatory component). I take this one.

My personal opinion since Black Seed Oil helped me immensely is to buy The Blessed Seed Strong Edition, this lists the Thymoquinone content on the bottle >

2 of them has almost 600 mg of DHA+EPA. So you take 1 of them (~300 mg) 3-4 times a week? I’m trying to learn how to incorporate DHA.

If you do get lecithin get the granules. I do not recommend though. If you are able to get an emulsion without it why complicate things. Lecithin is a good source of choline, but of your keto that should not be an issue. I only ever used it to make cannabis infused butter before. It will make the oil bubbles very small. This is a good one if you want to give it a try. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00014FCRQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1509764557&sr=8-4&keywords=lecithin+granules&dpPl=1&dpID=513lj3rcqHL&ref=plSrch
