And when we say oily, it's always kind of an odd expression, but people hopefully will realize fish that are like salmon, like sardines, like mackerel, herrings, you know, and anchovies. I don't know who anybody eats anchovies straight up, you know, other than maybe on a Caesar salad or on a pizza. But anyway, anchovies are very rich in omega-3. One of the good sources of fish oil is anchovy.

So there are certain kinds of fish that are very good, some kind that are pointless, useless. And so when we talk about how much oily fish do you need to eat, we take salmon as the best example. You can get about a gram, gram and a half of omega-3, EPA, DHA from a standard size serving of salmon. So that's a lot. So if you did that every day,

Right, exactly, right. And not that they eat salmon every day, but they eat such a wide variety of different kinds of fish, including the... the rich oily fish, tunas, things like that. So one or two servings, one serving a day of those kinds of things, people usually recommend, like the American Harness Association, two oily fish servings a week. I don't think that's enough.

that's better than most people can do or do do, but it's not enough, which is why I think we need supplements. We did a study, I think you may be referring to it, looking at the omega-3 index in like 3,000 people that sent in blood tests to our laboratory for analysis. And we asked them, do you take a fish oil supplement? Yes, no. How often do you eat oily fish as a main course?

So those are pretty rough questions. I mean, not very precise, but they're not bad. And we found that the only group of people that had a average omega-3 index at 8%, which we think our target, are people that reported three times a week eating oily fish and taking supplements. So that's a ballpark idea of what you got to do to achieve a optimal omega-3 index. It can be done all with supplements.

It can be done all with fish. I like to see the mix myself, and that's what we observed.
