Description
Every year, millions of people take dietary supplements hoping to improve their health. The problem is, most of us have no idea what’s in the pills we’re taking. This is particularly true for omega-3 fatty acids, one of the top three supplements I recommend for women of all ages. So many of the omega-3 products on the shelf are low-quality, rancid oils that are a waste of money and can cause more harm than good. On top of that, there are serious issues around the sustainability of the fish oil production process, which is the traditionally recommended source of omega-3. If you're going to invest in your health, it’s crucial to find a high-quality product but also a company that you can get behind, and that’s what I found with Örlö Nutrition. Today I’m joined by Örlö’s Corinna Bellizzi to discuss the benefits of algae-based omega-3 fatty acids. In this conversation, Corinna and I talk about the role of omega-3 in hormone production, the benefits and challenges of different sources of omega-3 supplements, why we should pay attention to the bioavailability of the supplements we take, the advantages of polar omegas over standard fish oils, how Örlö’s sustainable production process works, why you don’t need to worry about fish burps and stomach issues with polar omegas, the problems caused by low-quality omega-3 supplements, and more. If you aren't already taking omega-3, I want you on an omega-3. I'm switching from fish oil to algae from Örlö, and I highly recommend you consider it too. Highlights The benefits and challenges of krill-based supplements Why the omegas in Örlö Nutrition’s products are significantly more bioavailable than fish oil The advantages of polar omegas over standard fish oils How Örlö’s sustainable production process works The issue with relying on eating fish as your only source of omega-3 fats How sustainability is integrated into every aspect of Örlö’s products Why you don’t need to worry about fish burps and stomach issues with polar omegas How you can quickly tell if your oils are rancid The issues caused by rancid fats The top three supplements I recommend: maca, magnesium, omega-3 How omega-3 fats can help with period symptoms Questions to ask when choosing a high-quality omega-3 supplement Why Corinna is no longer personally in support of fish oil This episode is sponsored by Örlö Nutrition Örlö Nutrition has the best supplements to supercharge your health and immune system.
