Lucas Rockwood’s Engagement in the Comments
Roughly 1 in 3 comments received a direct reply, showing an above-average engagement rate. Hearts were rare, but replies carried most of the interaction.
Burning Questions
Viewers were especially focused on practical usage: whether to take omega-3 with meals, how to reduce side effects like fishy burps or capsule size, and the safety of long-term use. Label confusion dominated — EPA/DHA ratios, interpreting “1000 mg fish oil” vs. actual active content, and how much to take daily.
Alternatives like algae oil, flax, krill, and cod liver sparked many questions, alongside safety issues such as atrial fibrillation risks, allergies, contaminants, and vitamin A/D toxicity. Storage and freshness were frequent concerns, with requests for brand examples and clearer sourcing details.
Feedback and Critiques
Viewers strongly reinforced the importance of freshness and oxidation control, citing TOTOX thresholds and packaging as key purchase criteria. They appreciated nuanced coverage of plant-based oils and omega-6 balance, but also called for deeper guidance on sourcing, dosing math, and bioavailability differences.
Some pointed to gaps: the need for brand transparency, clearer explanations of triglyceride vs. ethyl ester forms, and practical advice on timing and storage. Risks like fish oil raising triglycerides, DHA-related atrial fibrillation, and TMAO were highlighted as areas for further clarification.
High Praise
Many described the guide as the clearest and most evidence-based breakdown of omega-3 supplements they had ever seen. They valued the unbiased approach, free from brand promotion, and praised the actionable tips that helped them decode confusing labels and improve supplement choices.
Lucas Rockwood’s teaching style earned repeated admiration. Viewers highlighted his warm, genuine delivery and ability to make complex supplement science easy to follow, with several noting they subscribed on the spot or changed their supplement routine after watching.

Viewer Voices
Unedited comments that capture what real viewers felt, tried, and learned:
From a biochemical perspective, the integrity of fish oil is judged primarily by its TOTOX value (Total Oxidation value). EPA and DHA—two essential fatty acids derived from fish oil—are highly prone to oxidation. Oxidized fatty acids are not only ineffective but may pose risks to human health. The Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3 (GOED) as well as the European Union (EU) have established that the TOTOX value for quality omega-3 products should not exceed 26. Norwegian Salmon fish oil or cod liver oil Keep the TOTOX value under 6 . Try Nordic Plus Pharma Salmon oil from Norway . it’s alarming to note that fish oils sourced from certain regions, such as South America, often arrive in Europe with TOTOX values between 200 and 400. This staggering range is attributed to suboptimal production methods, prolonged storage, and exposure to heat and light. By the time these products are encapsulated and marketed, they may be two to six years old—a factor that further degrades their quality. You mentioned how much EPA and DHA " Most consumers and marketers “look themselves blind” on how much omega-3 there is in a capsule, wrongly believing that “more is better”. This is not the case, and proved wrong. A refined and even further concentrated oil is more unstable,
You didn’t talk about source of fish oil especially salmon. Farmed salmon has 14-16% fat versus 3-4% fat in wild salmon. Most of the farmed fish oil is omega 6 and may contain other chemicals, hormones antibiotics and heavy metals. We should warn people about the omega 6 content which is inflammatory and the acceptable ratios between the omega 3 and 6. Or we just go and buy WILD fish Omega 3 or krill oil or algae oil.
You completely missed the most important point. Fishoil raises blood-triglyceride, almost 120 units for a daily dose of 1200mg Omega-3. Go have a bloodtest triglyceride before and after 3-month consumption. Many put on their labels now...EPA and DHA in Triglyceride form, meaning your blood-triglyceride will go up...we've warned you. Krill oil, on the opposite, brings down triglyceride. Its Omega-3 is in phospholipid form and not contribute to any rise in blood-triglyceride. My numbers went from 165 before fishoil consumption, to 530 after 4 months of 3,300mg fishoil consumption, down to 135 after one month of switching to Krill oil. Price is no object if Krill oil (2-3X fishoil) brings benefits and no harm like fishoil.
One way to dramatically impact your Omega 3/6 ratio is to simply eliminate all vegetable oils, which are nearly all Omega 6-based. Hunter-Gathers who do not have access to seafood, but still have high Omega 3 levels due to the lack of vegetable oils in their diet.
Great video! It's important to emphasize the need to balance and test our omega-3 ratios. Many ordinary fish, krill, and algae oils don't cut it because they often become rancid before we can absorb their benefits at a cellular level. This rancidity compromises their bioavailability, meaning our bodies can't utilize them effectively. To truly support heart and brain health, we need supplements that not only provide the right types of omega-3s but also maintain their freshness and potency. Investing in high-quality, test-based products can make all the difference in achieving optimal health!
