Brandomized controlled trial. Here we are 10 years later. Yeah.

Exactly. Yeah. I think that it comes down to, yes, you should try to get your micronutrients from diet. However, taking a multivitamin supplement, taking vitamin D, taking omega-3s, these are insurance, right? This is insurance to make sure you're getting your optimum levels. So you asked about deficiencies and what are some of the common ones. Well, omega-3. Okay. So

About 80% of the world's population and 90% of the U.S. population does not meet the requirements for omega-3 fatty acids.

Exactly. Exactly.

Exactly. Exactly.

Exactly. Exactly.

And there's been a lot of work by Dr. Bill Harris. So I'm an associate professor at the Fatty Acid Research Institute with Bill Harris. And so I'm involved in a lot of research on omega-3. And he's published just an array of studies that are quite convincing.

So looking at the omega-3 index, so this is the omega-3 levels in red blood cells, which is sort of like a long-term marker for omega-3 because they take about... What does the index actually measure? It measures the EPA and DHA levels along with a bunch of other fatty acids if you're interested in that. But it's really the EPA and DHA level in the red blood cell membrane.

Exactly. So he's published studies using like the Framingham cohort. So these are large cohort studies with a lot of people. And he's looked at the omega-3 index and correlated it with all-cause mortality. So dying from a variety of different diseases.
