The Truth About Omega-3: rTG vs EE Fish Oil Explained
Saturday, 25 April, 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. If you care about your heart, brain, eyes, and overall longevity, this is a must-watch episode. Tune in weekly to Ask the Dr. — the longest-running live medical talk show in the country. #Omega3 #FishOil #HealthTruth #DrMichaelLange #AskTheDr #HeartHealth #ProstateHealth #AntiInflammatory #NutritionScience #Bioavailability #HealthyLiving #Longevity #SupplementTruth #Wellness #Omega3Benefits #Fortifeye #MedicalTalkShow #HealthPodcast #PreventativeHealth #BetterHealth #rtgomega3 #omegartgformSupport the show: https://www.drmichaellange.com/category/ask-the-doctor/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
