The Truth About Omega-3: rTG vs EE Fish Oil Explained
Podcasts > Ask The Doctor - Dr Michael Lange
Saturday, April 25, 2026
Today’s episode of Ask the Dr. was an eye-opening deep dive into the truth about omega-3 fatty acids.
Co-hosted by Dr. Michael Lange and Roger P. Schulman, we broke down the science behind omega-3 fish oil and why not all omega-3 supplements are created equal.
We discussed the critical difference between rTG (re-esterified triglyceride) omega-3 and the inferior EE (ethyl ester) form. The rTG form is more natural, absorbs significantly better, and is less prone to oxidation—making it a superior choice for overall health.
Key topics covered:
- Why omega-3 is an essential nutrient you must get from diet or supplementation
- The dangers of low-quality fish oil supplements (contaminants, poor absorption)
- How the right omega-3 supports heart health and may reduce atrial fibrillation risk
- The role of omega-3 in men’s prostate health
- Why form, purity, and dosage matter more than most people realize
We also took live calls from listeners across the country, answering real-world questions and providing practical guidance.
Special Offer Mentioned on Air:
A limited-time 6-pack omega-3 bundle at 30% OFF + FREE shipping was offered during the show.
