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.

If you care about your heart, brain, eyes, and overall longevity, this is a must-watch episode.
