Updated daily stack . I decided to catalog all the supps Iâm currently taking for my doctor. Pretty major update since last time. This time I included all my daily vitamins and âsuperfoodsâ on the listâŚ
Fish oil generally comes from deep sea fatty fish, like cod and herring. Krill comes fromâŚkrill
Both contain DHA and EPA, but krill oil also has phosphatidylcholine (a phospholipid) and astaxanthin (a powerful antioxidant). âWhy not just take kill oil then?â⌠because itâs f*cking expensive compared to fish oil.
But wait, it gets worse! The quality of the fish/krill oil is extremely important. If it is oxidized, it wonât have all the health benefits, and could even be detrimental (just like olive oil)âŚat least according to Dr. James DiNicolantonio in a recent Podcast I listened to.
For fish oil, I just throw my trust in to Now Foods, and assume/hope that they are using a good quality fish oil. Their Ultra Omega has the highest amount of DHA/EPA per dose, is enteric coated, and a pretty good bang for your buckâŚavailable on Amazon (like everything else )
For krill, you should seek out arctic krill, aka Neptune Krill Oil (NKO). I forgot why (the podcast above discusses it). But itâs too damn expensive for me; so I just buy the cheap shit from BulkSupplements (300 qty size, sometimes available on Amazon). Theirâs is so cheap compared to the nearest competitor, that it canât be good, lol.
Oh, and the amount that you need to take of these (according to studies referenced in that podcast) is insaneâŚfor example he says you need 3-4 g of DHA per day. If 1 g of fish oil has 500 mg DHA, then you have to take !!8!! per day. Thatâs just insane. I figured that 2 g fish oil and 1 g krill is better than nothing.
