What's the best fish oil (Omega-3 EPA and DHA) supplement? (self.asklemmy)

I've heard very good things about high-EPA/decent DHA fish oil thats molecularly-distilled.

This seems to be a frequent recommendation (particularly if you don't eat seafood or fish) in many health circles and I'd like to get everyone's thoughts on best products, practices, etc.

I guess I should have said "ineffective for the various health claims". Anything can have an effect if taken in large enough doses. :)

Understood; just wanted to add on.

My point is more or less that this doesn't have to be a closed-book situation about fish oil. Maybe it can help in some other way, and/or maybe it really can work as 'advertised' in conjunction with other substances. Certainly wouldn't be the first time, if so.

The other point I want to throw out there is that Omega 3 is essential, it cannot be endogenously provisioned, and I'm not sold that ALA sufficiently stands in for EPA and DHA
