I recommend consuming little or no fish and strongly advise against consuming any of those species of fish notoriously high in mercury, such as shark, swordfish, mackerel, pike, and bluefish. The amount of DHA can vary significantly depending on the fish and the location. Farm-raised fish such as tilapia has none, and even some salmon (especially farm-raised) has very little DHA. Most of us can assure nutritional adequacy of EPA and DHA without using fish oil, by just adding a small amount of a vegan EPA or DHA supplement. A study showed that 100 mg of DHA daily increased the omega-3 index from 4.8 (poor) to 8.4 (optimal) percent. [2011] - Joel Fuhrman

We recommend taking a probiotic that contains both, with at least 1 billion spore-forming CFUs. Spore-forming probiotics will be those listed as Bacillus on the supplement facts. [2019] - Mira Calton

There are two ways to include case studies in your standard training. One case study should show how someone did everything wrong and how that made the situation worse. Another case study should show how someone did everything right and how well it worked. [2007] - Chet Holmes
