I still take great exception to the claims by some friends and family that have been convinced by TV doctors, or their own doctors, that taking supplements just makes “expensive urine” 🙄
If fish oil should be reconsidered, are there any recommendations for how to supplement it? Other than eating a lot of fish? I try to eat salmon once a week and sardines once a week, but I don't think that's enough.
How do you know who is telling .ore truth? Serious question. I've been reading Medicine Girl and Agent 131711 (and others) for quite some time now, then happened upon Varianavolk who makes a good case. Now I have these totally opposing views and no real way to determine who is correct.
I’ve been wondering about dosing for a long time. It should be done by weight. Someone 130# should take fewer capsules than someone 220#. So I adjust the dose myself, by guessing.
Since most of us aren’t chemists, it’s not just the fact that supplements are manufactured, it’s how they are made; chemicals that are hazardous being used to make a supplement that is supposed to be safe and effective, doesn’t necessarily make sense. Vitamin D as an example. Another is one that came up in another article regarding creatine. It is a tripeptide composed of three amino acids: L-arginine, glycine, and L-methionine, but it is synthesized it using two unrelated compounds. Just asking.
With genuine deficiencies, you almost always have to supplement, and often 300%+ daily value whatever it is you’re deficient in.
I’m going to shill L-Lysine. Sort of, depends on your situation. But I bought it to help increase my iron absorption alongside my iron to correct a deficiency and it’s been helpful for mood and energy.

I wonder if they would say that of any of the drugs that they prescribe that are eliminated in urine 🙄
Don't wine, champagne, Scotch, etc. just make expensive urine? What do grass feed beef, lobster, or fancy meals at restaurants make, lol.

Yes I’m also interested in knowing how to source EPA and DHA if fish oil isn’t useful
You are up against dark forces.
People on here are being paid to write this rubbish and they will continue to do so.
Medicine Girl is a prime example of just how ignorant the misinformation can be.
Agent 131711 is another proven liar. By me.
I totally support your writing. Just delete and block the abuse which will follow. It's not worth your time and they will never stop.

That should be who is telling "the" truth.
Another good one - a great summary!
Thank you for this. This resonates very much.
Do you feel the same about taking fish oil as you do capsules.
Great info here, thank you!

I'm guessing the same with krill oil. ?? Bummer.

I’m new to your substack, I love the level of detail 🙌🏼
Thank you for sharing and providing some clarity.
