That giant tub of fish oil at the pharmacy might look impressive but it is not giving you the benefits you think it is.
This week on The Bean Talk Riannon and Jeremy break down everything you need to know about fish oil. Why omega 3 is one of the most important supplements you can take, why most products on the market fall short and exactly what to look for when choosing the best omega 3 supplement for your health.
Because not all fish oils are equal. And if you are going to take something every day it's worth understanding what you are actually taking.
In this episode, we cover:
* Why omega 3 is essential and what happens when you are deficient * The difference between EPA and DHA and why both matter for your health * Fish oil benefits for fertility, pregnancy, skin, inflammation, joints and brain health * Why DHA is critical for fetal brain and eye development during pregnancy * Omega 3 for pregnancy and why it is one of the most important nutrients for mother and baby * Fish oil for breastfeeding and how omega 3 supports your baby's brain development after birth * Fish oil for skin including dry skin, acne and inflammation * Fish oil for hormones and cycle health * Why most cheap fish oils are a waste of money and can actually cause inflammation * How to choose the best omega 3 supplement including what to look for on the label * The difference between triglyceride and other forms of fish oil and why it matters * Why EPA and DHA content is more important than the total milligrams on the front of the bottle * How to check for oxidisation and why rancid fish oil does more harm than good * Why microplastic filtration matters and what to look for * Introducing Nourish Omega.
