Introduction

This video documents Shervin Shares' 90-day experiment testing the effects of omega-3 fish oil supplements. He tracks his blood work (Omega-3 index) before, during, and after supplementation, aiming to determine both the measurable and subjective effects on his health and well-being.

Key Takeaways

• Baseline Omega-3 Levels: Shervin's initial omega-3 index was 8.32% (Omega Quant test) and 6.1% (LabCorp test), showing some variation between testing methods.
• Midway Results: After approximately 45 days of taking a high dose of omega-3 supplements (around 2.6 grams daily), his omega-3 index significantly increased to 13.49%.
• Final Results and Feelings: After 90 days, his final omega-3 index was 12.33%, still within a desirable range. While he didn't immediately feel significant changes, he reported feeling less inflamed and recovering better from high-impact workouts over the course of the experiment.
• Supplement Selection: Shervin used high-quality supplements from Thorne and Momentous, emphasizing the importance of freshness and high bioavailability in choosing fish oil supplements.
• Conclusion: He concludes that he will continue taking omega-3 supplements due to the positive impact on his blood work and how it helped mitigate inflammation from his intense training.
