Oh, how very big of you. You're an alpha male, are you? Well, let me clue you in on something: Alpha Males haven't been in charge for a good couple of decades. Obviously, this tirade is directed on a High School level. Once you get out of high school, and begin working at your dead-end office job, you know who your boss is going to be? That's right, that pasty nerd you made fun of. It's funny, you see. The majority of the women you are talking about, despite the blatant lies you've slipped in, and the generalizations which remain moderately untrue, are frankly, idiotic. The fact that you're trying to taunt us with them is inane, because while they sound appealing in text, in reality, we wouldn't want anything to do with the fking skanks. And furthermore, thank you for "fking every girl in the school (I bet you can bench 2000 pounds too, amirite?)." Honestly, thank you. Why, you may ask? Because, by taking away the easy route, you have brought pain upon us. You have brought us misery, you have forced us to adapt to that misery, and to grow as people. Luxury doesn't incite growth, pain does. So while you're busy sticking it in your AIDS-ridden skanks, we're studying, learning, gaining skills that are necessary for life. You may scoff at this, call us stupid nerds for not getting the pussy while it's hot, but guess what? We're going to get it eventually. You said so yourself, women love power. So, eventually, you're going to find a women you love as much as she primally needs you. You're going to get married, maybe settle down a bit. Wild sex for the first two years, but after a while, she'll get ansy. She'll grow tired of the novelty of the Alpha Male. Your relationship will become the dull forced marriage that is seen constantly in America. You'll likely divorce her and move on, getting a younger wife that'll need you as much as your old wife did when you first married. Seems swell, doesn't it? I can assure you, it isn't. By now, we have risen to power. While you live the life of the swingers, we are the Senators, the Chairmen, we are the rulers of life as you know it. We have transcended your pitiful existence, and control every aspect of your very fate, without you even so much as noticing. By now, we have the money and the power, and as Scarface once said (We know you love him, and have his poster on your bedroom wall,'cause you're cool like that) next we get the women. And guess who it is that loves power, as you said women do? That's right, it's your little skank of a wife! Now, most of us will likely have settled down with a wife, but I'm sure there are plenty that would be glad to take your wife when she dumps your sorry ass to go to the people she knows have the real power. And, as we get older, our fortunes and power will grow. We'll eventually get a few trophy wives, settle down a bit, and live in the lap of luxury. Meanwhile, you, the "Alpha Male" will be left alone. By the time you hit thirty, your primal attraction, your ONLY asset, will begin to fade. Your third wife in ten years will grow tired of your old, pitiful body, and will leave you. Stuck in a dead-end job as one of our pawns, you will grow old and even less appealing. Eventually you will die an old and unloved man, either by taking your own life, drowning yourself in booze, or perhaps merely out of your own misery. So go ahead. Brag about how many women you are fking. Call us losers. We may seem to be upset, and you may mock our pain, but I assure you, we know your fate. And we are smiling inside.

I think a holistic approach to lipids matters more because studies show some supplements change hdl and ldl without improving atherosclerosis outcomes.

More steps to the mechanism exist.

Low bodyfat, endurance exercise, healthy (very low sugar) diet, etc. seem to improve results.

From wild caught fish / salmon yes.

The basics are vit D / Fish oil / Magnesium / Zinc

You can add Calcium / Vit C / Collagen powder / Probiotics / Resveratrol / K2 / Creatine / Nmn or Nr and a **** load of others for anti aging, performance etc.

The higher price on food is worth it, what you buy is a vote for what they store for you.

Interesting. Like how much of a decrease we talking. Based on my googling it’s supposed to have the opposite effect

I personally count fish oil as one of the only two OTC supplements I bother using, the other being Vitamin D. It improves all my connective tissues both integrity wise and aesthetically. If I go without for two weeks, my back and hips start hurting and my hair/nails/skin look noticeably worse.

I also find liquid wayyy more effective than the pills. I wouldn't bother with pills, tbh.

i read that too, which i why i doubted the result

normally, i have a ridiculous, annoying libido, so i mos def notice

it's not just fish oil, but also sardines, salmon, whatever

it seems independent of my omega 6 intake, but i think it might have something to do with delta 6 desaturase getting flooded with omega 3s srs

the same would then be the case for consumption of ALA, which i rarely consume

I take fish oil as a joint supplement. It helps makes my joints feel more lubricated if that makes sense. I don't know if that is what it is actually doing, but my joints feel way better during exercises. Might be due to the anti inflammatory properties?

I take about 1 pill a day even though the bottle says 3.

Open the gel cap and put the liquid on styrofoam. If the foam melts it’s artificial chemical junk. If the foam doesn’t melt its real fish oil

Two benefits for me:

Krill oil definitely seems to lubricarte joints. When I get low on BF%, high volume or high intensity over time makes my elbows (both tennis and golfers elbows) hurt.

Since adding krill oil last year, haven’t had joint pain.

When I tore my distal biceps tendon, I was instructed by a powerlifting coach to ingest 20g of fish oil amongst others healing supplements to increase speed of recovery.

By 5th week post surgery, I was back to pulls and variations of biceps curls but nothing too aggressive (focused on high reps of DLs between 315lbs and 405lbs and never went above 35lbs with DB curls).

Fatty fish for DHA/EPA crew

Eggs for ALA (more of an antioxidant but still an omega 3 FA)

Eggs are probably the most important because of the other trace amino acids your body needs to make important macrolipids like GSH that’s virtually in every cell of the body

Both are a good source of selenium (brain health) but eggs are richer in choline from what I understand

Fatty fish like salmon is a mood booster, but probably more to do with the high bioavailability of B12 and vitamin D

Generally no, the problems with modern diets having too much PUFA and omega-6 specifically should be remedied by eating less PUFA and omega-6 not just more omega-3. Eat quality meat and fats and not fish oil.
