The Truth About Omega-3: EPA/DHA, Purity, and Freshness Matter | Oliver Amdrup-Chamby

Omega-3 deficiencies are cutting years off lifespans and driving inflammation and chronic disease. The solution lies in high-quality marine sources, proper purity testing, and consistent supplementation.

In this episode, I speak with Oliver Amdrup-Chamby, co-founder of Puori, about what makes Omega-3 effective, why deficiencies persist even in fish-eaters, and how poor-quality creatine often contains contaminants.

He explains the importance of EPA and DHA ratios, how oxidation affects potency, and why plant sources often fall short. We also expose the risks of gummies and why full transparency in supplement testing matters.

"I would be a very happy man if I had a dollar every time someone said, 'fish oil is fish oil, isn't it?'" ~ Oliver Amdrup-Chamby
