(Part 3) Best omega oil nutritional supplements according to redditors
We found 425 Reddit comments discussing the best omega oil nutritional supplements. We ranked the 132 resulting products by number of redditors who mentioned them. Here are the products ranked 41-60. You can also go back to the previous section.
My [old] assumption was that fish oil was more or less a commodity and therefore I did not care about brand much as long as it was cheap. I kinda changed my mind a few years ago after I met a tri-athlete friend who works for an OTC manufacturer.
Aside from being a super-finicky eater, he also got to pick virtually anything he likes from the world of supplements - no matter how exotic or expensive. That's why I asked him the question of which one he'd pick if he could have ONLY one. He answered "fish oil". Then after I told him that as far as I was concerned, when it came to supplements, I more or less bought the cheapest type, I challenged him to convince me why a skeptic like me would pay the extra premium for the brand he recommended which is available at... Costco ... "Pure Alaska Omega" made from "wild Alaskan salmon". [ You can also order it from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Pure-Alaska-Omega-Natural-Omega-3/dp/B0024LWRIQ ]
He explained that the source being wild salmon caught up in Alaska means that they don't have the existing amounts of mercury or PCBs ... unlike other sources that do (and need to be heat distilled etc). I was wondering how they could extract oil from what is a pretty damned expensive gourmet product so he explained the producers have a relationship and joint venture with one of the largest fish processors up in Alaska called TRIDENT http://www.tridentseafoods.com/ . The JV is called Alaska Protein Recovery: http://alaskaproteinrecovery.com/index.html
Apparently, the highest concentrations of DHA and EPA oils are in the heads which were normally trashed or converted into fish meal products like pet food and fertilizer. The JV company has a special barge with a fish oil processor onboard that intercepts the freshly-caught salmon before they are unloaded at the Alaskan fishery, lops off the heads, converts it into oil (similar to cold-pressing olive oil) and the rest of the salmon is sent to the fishery for processing.
Because there aren't existing PCB or mercury contamination issues, they don't need to heat-distill the fish oil. Combined with the fact that the fish weren't semi-rotting in the boat on the way to the fishery as it is supposed to be the case with sardine, anchovy, and menhaden (the source of most other fish oils on the market) which are generally caught in more temperate climes ... it means you don't get the stale fishy taste or after-taste issues... and that was probably my main complaint about fish oil supplements. You still definitely need to take them with meals - preferably during ... not just immediately afterwards.
I used to play rhythm games for long periods of time, a lot. One time I did a 40 hour marathon challenge (with a few naps), so when it comes to vision, blinking, and such, I can understand a concern.
Foremost what has had the greatest beneficial effect for me was using a nightlight filter. A real one- ones that require root for to install for app permission or the built in ones for both iOS/Android. There are a couple issues with this though. First, it's something you'll have to adapt to. You'll likely hate it at first as with most people. Second, for rhythm games in particular, there will be a small (within ms) screen delay). Huge issue if you hit notes primarily through your visual senses. Personally for me, with SIF I don't have much issue because my.reflexes are mostly internal rhythm judged. Besides, I have -26ms offset and the "judgement" line for this game is already so off from center.
On Android, rooted CFlumen on a proper phone does not have latency as I have personally confirmed. However, the colors are not as accurate as F.lux (which is probably the best filter out there). I haven't tested iOS night light so I can't confirm if there's latency or not.
Anyways, I'm off on a tangent right now; my apologies. For vision/eyes, I drink a single gulp of water after every song; and blink a bit right before a song starts. Pretty simple so and I'd recommend anyone make it a habit.
Vision doctors claim that for around every 20m or so, look in a straight direction at something (I believe 20ft) away for 20 seconds making sure you blink often during this period. You can also do 30ft/30s.
Another very helpful change I made was adjusting screen brightness to levels around my surrounding enviornment. Generally, the method I use is to have the brightness as low as it can, and make small steps up until you can just barely begin to see stuff. I also do this in a similiaf fashion with Flux, except instead of brightness, it is with ambient color temperatures.
I also use eye drops, but I'm not sure how effective it is. I don't want my eyes to rely on them. However when I do use them, I drop them into an eye, look at 4 corners of that eye, blink a few times while in process, and then repeat for the other eye. Afterwards, I repeat the exact same process with both eyes open at the same time
As for supplements for healthy vision, I still need more research on that. Omega fish oil and Vitamin A? I don't remember. I've tried this in the past. However since there are so many factors contributing to healthy vision, it was hard for me to evaluate
Warm towel on your face helps a bit.
I think what can help the most is to simply do something else temporary that doesn't require narrow vision. Like looking at the sunset is a good one because it's kind of a mix between a couple paragraphs posted above. Helps your eyes non-tunnel as well as helps your brain recognize changes of natural color temperatures.
Anyways that's all I can think for right now. If you are having hard stress on your eyes mid song make sure you're breathing as fluidly as much as the amount of mental pressure you are projecting, if that makes sense.
Oh also, SIF deals primary with colors and shapes during gameplay. Make sure to read text on frequent occasions during the week. This may sound like I'm pulling stuff out of nowhere, but believe me on this one, if you can.
Also one more- good posture. Try to maintain good eye level on your phone. Honestly though, one should aim for good posture not just for eyes, but all your other muscles as well (this includes a good symmetrical grip on your phone as well.)
Here's another one. If you have a lousy phone, I'd prioritize getting one that can maintain stable 60 fps Often, you don't notice lower framerates than intended until you experience the difference yourself.
Oh, here's another one- glasses/contacts. You generally don't want to wear your glasses all the time (although this is debatable between Optometrists).(Contacts you should never wear 24/7 unless they are designed particularly for it). Don't always play SIF wearing glasses. Split it into sections like, half of it with, and the other half without. In my biased opinion, I'd try to play without glasses as much as possible until my natural vision within phone distance becomes just as good as with glasses.
Disclaimer: I am only speaking from my experiences and what has worked for me.
So, I know this is going to sound strange, but you don't actually need as much protein as normally recommended for weightlifting on a vegan diet. Don't get me wrong, protein is vital for proper athletic performance; but the 1 gram protein per pound of bodyweight has largely been debunked, it's closer to .8-.9 grams protein per kilogram body mass. That being said, the best sources of protein are legumes, with my personal favorite being tempeh; which is fermented soybeans. It has a nice crunch, a slightly nutty flavor, and it's easy to digest. Here is a list of all the best foods to help ease your transition:
The supplements aren't wholly necessary in the beginning, especially if you're still drinking cow's milk and eating fish. But they will be if you want to transition to vegan long term.
Here are few vegan bodybuilders I like:
Simnett Nutrition: Awesome mostly calisthenics guy who does a lot of cooking/nutrition videos.
Nimai Delgado: More of a classic bodybuilder channel. Some days of eating, some training, some travel vlogs, etc. His physique is absurd tho.
Vegan Physique: This is the guy where I learned that protein isn't all that difficult to get on a vegan diet. He also has some good meal preps.
​
Hope this helps! Welcome to veganism! :D
Bacopa won't hurt, and may actually help. I would most recommend it in this form, which worked amazingly well for helping me with recovery and is relatively minimalistic.
Your TBI is definitely too fresh for excitatory nootropics, but things like lion's mane and bacopa don't carry that risk, and if anything will increase bloodflow and reduce oxidative stress at damaged areas.
It's true, though, before taking excitatory compounds, it's good to engage in ample nutrients--especially Omega-3s--and exercise extensively for a few months, until you start to see improvement. Once you have a tangible change in results regarding your cognitive performance, then you can think about other methods of enhancement.
Flavored Hemp Oil - 1000 Mg -... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JYTDVCS?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I purchased this supplement -

I was wondering, why is the serving size 4 capsules? It seems like 1 capsule per day is enough after some research so that's what I've been doing. Plus it gives me a 3 month supply if I only have 1. Thoughts?

As someone with mood issues most of my life, I can relate, but it sounds like you have something more going on then just depression.
Depression with agitation and suicidal ideation can be indicative of anything from bipolar spectrum to autism spectrum to just simply needing a vacation, and requires a proper diagnosis (hence why you should figure this out in therapy before taking drugs or supplements for that matter).
The fact SSRIs are making you more agitated in a different way is also counter intuitive to the issues you're trying to address, and as I said will likely get worse the longer you keep taking meds. At most you likely need herbs or something mellow to help calm you down, and help you relax, not amp you up.
You clearly have a lot on your plate with kids, and wife. So what you need to figure out is what is the source of your agitation?
Are you stressed out? Not enough money? In debt? Not sleeping enough? Poor diet? Too much fast food? Burnt out from work? Need to rekindle things with your wife? (No need to answer these publicly, just something for you to think about.)
You need to ask yourself these kinds of questions and figure out what is going on. Taking substances to solve your problems isn't going to actually solve them, even if they're from a doctor.
That's why meditation is so important, it gives your mind the ability to take a break, as well as allows you the ability to tap into your intuition and focus on whats really important to you. I really recommend a meditation application that can help guide you through the process. I personally use Headspace but theres a few others out there that are free.
As for your psychiatrist, they are in the business of pushing drugs on people. That's their job, that is what you're paying them for, so keep that in mind. Trust your intuition, and listen to your body. If something doesn't feel right to you, then pay attention, and don't just disregard it.
As for a psychologist, a month is not enough time to determine anything. If you don't like your psychologist then find another one. It could take a few different psychologists to find one you like, try mixing things up. If your current psychologist is a man, maybe try a woman? Or vice versa. I tend to do better with female therapists for some reason, not sure why.
Anyhow, it might take months or even years of therapy to work through some issues, there is no easy fix, and you should be suspicious of anyone who claims to have an easy fix.
Everything I'm recommending to you is hard, from meditating daily, to working out, and eating properly. These things take determination, and follow through.
When it comes to food, this is also a major one. For example, I cannot eat a lot of carbs or sugar, or caffeine. Stimulants make me agitated. I now mostly just eat organic meats, salads, and veggies. No breads, pastas, processed foods, fast food, etc. I drink herbal teas now, and when I'm tired I meditate, or nap instead of trying to push through it. Sleep is also critical to mental health and needs to be prioritized. It's amazing how much better your brain functions when you're actually relaxed.
As for supplements, if you are going to take anything, I would highly recommend omega-fatty 3 acids with vitamin d. The recommended doses are typically pretty low, and for more severe cases like yours its better to take higher doses. I take 4 of these fish oil with vitamin D per day every morning: http://www.amazon.com/Nordic-Naturals-Ultimate-Omega-D3-Supports/dp/B002CQU550
The recommended dose is 2 per day, but it wasn't enough for my brain. Anything over 4 per day and I start to get a little dizzy, so you might have to play around with it and find what works for you. Omega fatty 3 acids have been shown to reduce agitation in some individuals (although they don't work for everyone).
Anyhow, good luck, and let your wife know you're working on it and committed to figuring this out and just need some time. Let her know the drugs may not be the best option and you're looking for other solutions. Show her that you care, and are working on it, and most importantly let her know that not only are you doing this for her, but yourself as well.
Awesome, thank you.
Is this the product?

Crap I just saw that they are listed as currently unavailable although I just got some a few days ago. Regardless, there are plenty of other options on Amazon.

If I were to order an alternative today I think this is what I would get, although I am partial to the gummy worms.

Ok this seems like a winner for anyone else interested

The only thing that helped me was taking fish oil capsules. They're anti-inflammatory, so they help fight off your pooper inflammation. I take three of these daily and I had no problems at all after a few days or a week or whatever.
Any brand should be fine, just research to make sure that they are purified of mercury and have a good amount of EPA and DHA which are the Omega-3 acids your body needs. ALA is not nearly as useful, even though it's also an Omega-3 acid.
YMMV, and this is only anecdotal advice, but I noticed a quick and drastic effect after I started taking fish oil. Worst case, it has a million other good effects on your body too.
This would last you two months. Nordic Naturals makes one of the best fish oils on the market.
This is what I take every day:
As far as I know, based on the research that I did on these, this brand and these formulations are easiest to absorb.
I also take 2.25 grain Nature Throid, at night, 4 hours after my dinner.
In the past two weeks I've actually felt better than I have in years. I notice right away if I forget to take my vitamins or if I run out of one of them and miss just one of all those, it definitely is noticeable as well. I added magnesium in the past week and it has been incredibly encouraging how much more energy I've had on magnesium. But whatever you do, DO NOT get magnesium powder. It is absolutely disgusting. I'm usually able to choke down things if I know they're good for me, but magnesium powder is supposed to be mixed in liquid. Well... it clumps... and turns juice brownish green... and it tastes like poison... So ... get the caps lol
I hope you get results soon.
One thing I was thinking about with Hashi's is that absence of antibodies doesn't always mean no Hashi's. I mean, if my antibodies went all the way away due to treatment, that doesn't take away the diagnosis, and doesn't mean that I am "cured". It would just mean my Hashi's wasn't active.
This doesn't mean that if your ultrasound comes back normal and your full thyroid panel comes back fine that you should act as though you do have Hashi's, just that, it can't be ruled out just because at the moment your antibodies were low. But I really think that the Celiac thing is worth thinking about. Despite medicating hypothyroidism, the vast majority of my pretty recent recovery came after removing gluten and soy from my diet.
Good luck!
In the mean time if you’re looking for a temporary fix I found these helped a bit when I was dealing with dry eye (combined with some sort of overnight eye gel as well):

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0016B1WSG/ref=mp_s_a_1_6_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1510078392&sr=8-6&keywords=Manitoba+Harvest+Hemp+Oil%2C&dpPl=1&dpID=41abWvXDBDL&ref=plSrch
That’s the oil I use. I don’t take it orally. I wash the oil off and then use a few drops as moisturizer.

Tastes kind of odd though
Hemp gunmies - they’re on Amazon.
KEYLOR NUTRITION Premium Hemp Gummies - 30000 MG - All Natural Ingredients - Relief for Stress, Inflammation, Sleep, Anxiety, Depression - Vitamins & Omega 3,6,9 - Made in The USA - 90 pcs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K7KX95H/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_sgjWDbGJCMBFX
I like this one, although I get it from a local whole foods store and it's the 8 ounce bottle (I don't like to buy a lot of it in case I leave it out--I'd hate to spoil $20 worth of it lol).
I get these from Amazon and if I take one a day it lasts me 6 months which comes down to about $0.20c per pill.
I’ve tried dozens of different cbd products, including a 2,500 mg dosage oil which had noticeable affects but nothing drastic. Until I found an oil from Colorado, it’s 1,000 mg dose and this oil has literally TRANSFORMED my life. I’ve suffered from anxiety since I was a child, as an adult I’ve had advanced arthritis, chronic pain and all the enhanced anxiety and depression that comes along with it. This oil is not a magic bullet but it has outperformed all other treatments I’ve ever been prescribed BY FAR.
This is not some product sponsorship I’m trying to sell either. I will leave you the link for the oil, but I’m betting that oils sold out of Colorado or states that have long since legalized medicinal marijuana have better products so you might want to start looking for manufacturers in those states first. I’m in Wisconsin which has a medicinal cbd pilot program but the products available on the store shelves are not as effective as the one I’ve found from Colorado. This company sells oils in 3 different doses, 300mg, 500mg, and 1000mg. I’ve had huge success with 1000mg. Here’s he link:
Hemp Oil 1000mg :: Hemp Oil for Pain :: Stress Relief, Mood Support, Healthy Sleep Patterns, Skin Care (1000mg, 33.3mg per Serving x 30 Servings) : R+R Medicinals https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GFVGKFP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_TGaaCbAW8QB10
FYI I found this ad on Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Native-Dragonfruit-Therapeutic-Arthritis/dp/B07F3ZNJC6
Apperantly they sell hemp oil via Amazon. That already makes.me not trust the company for their CBD products.

like this or
this is the one I normally use but every now and then I'll try other brands if I get a decent price http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002CQU55K/ref=s9_hps_bw_g121_i1
I don't know an optimal dosage/ratio. This page is another good resource. Personally I take 250-500mg of Jarrow Formulas Citicoline, CDP Choline, 250mg, 120 Count. CDP-Choline is 18.5% choline by weight (vs Alpha-GPC at 40%), so that's about 46-92mg of choline, but it also contains the cytidine, which converts into uridine. It's definitely more expensive, but I think the benefits are worth it. I don't take racetams, but I know some people increase their choline intake when doing so due to possible depletion causing headaches, etc.
Regarding fish oil, I take 2000mg of Pure Alaska Omega-3 Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil 1000mg Softgels 180-Count, which contains 220mg DHA and 180mg EPA per serving (400mg Omega-3). Some people take more concentrated forms to get more Omega-3, but I prefer the sort of whole food approach. It's important to note the distinction between 1g fish oil vs 1g of Omega-3. Keep that in mind when making comparisons and doing research to determine your goals.
There's also the Garden of Life fish oils. There's one that includes just astaxanthin and fucoxanthin, and then there's one that includes both plus bacopa, vinpocetine, and some phosphatidylserine.
Link: http://www.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Oceans-Better-Brain/dp/B00280M116
My take on this is that you'd probably be better off buying a really high quality non-prescription fish/krill oil (krill is nice because you usually get astaxanthin along with EPA and DHA). If you get them from the right place, you can even get them from a store that refrigerates them so there's less of a chance of them being oxidized.
I personally either take Garden of Life or Nordic Naturals. This is the one that I usually take when I can afford it: source
Thanks! Is it this sort of thing?
Sounds like awesome advice. Thanks man,ill look on amazon, and I think this work. It won't complicate any other meds (zoloft, etc.)? How would this work? http://www.amazon.com/Now-Foods-Soft-gels-1200Mg-180-Count/dp/B0007O1OHW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1370282011&sr=8-1&keywords=omega+9
