My PurePhama O3 Fish Oil Story…
My training can be very intense! Sometimes I do two-a-days. So when talking recovery, I take it seriously. And PurePharma O3 Fish Oil is said to be the best of the best…
I’m usually spending about 1.5 hours training, and .5 hours doing mobility 5 days a week.
It’s great fun, but can be tough on my body, for sure. Because of the high training volume, I need to always be considering what foods and supplements I can consume to keep my body recovering as fast as possible.
I’ve been taking fish oil from Costco for some time now. But I was reading a Twitter post from Aja Barto talking about how much he liked the PurePharma fish oil. I had met Aja at a CrossFit Invictus athletes training camp, and he seemed like a great person. So that was immediate credibility for the PurePharma fish oil.
I contacted PurePharma, and had some O3 fish oil sent my way.
What I noticed when taking PurePharma O3 Fish Oil
The first thing you’ll notice when taking the Pure Pharma O3 fish oil is the slight lemon flavor of the capsules. It’s actually really nice. And kinda makes you want to bite into them. I wouldn’t recommend it though…
I don’t know about you, but I can feel when my body is inflamed. My joints are a little bit achy. It feels like my body temperature is a little higher than it should be. It can be tough to sleep. And my workouts are hard to recover from. These feelings usually represent overtraining.
When taking PurePharma O3 Fish Oil it felt like it leveled me out, or brought me back to normal. Back on top of my game.
My body didn’t get sore after workouts.
My achy joints went away.
And my sleep improved.

The Facts
There’s all this hype about eating Organic, grass fed, free range, etc.
Do you know why you want this?
I’ve always said: “you’re not what you eat, as much as what your food eats.” And this is true, but it gets deeper than that…
When a wild animal eats plants (phytoplankton and algae) they are ingesting a molecule called alpha linoic acid (ALA). Then in the animals body the ALA is converted to EPA & DHA, or more commonly known as, omega-3’s. If the animals you’re eating don’t eat these plants, then you’re not getting the omega-3’s.
PurePharma only uses non-farmed anchovies and sardines in their fish oil.
So that’s all great and awesome, right… But why do we even want omega-3’s?
Well, in the right ratio of EPA & DHA (yes there’s an optimal ratio) you can expect the following results:
* Faster recovery from your workouts
* An increase in VO2 max (which will increase performance)
* Reduced overall inflammation
* Healthier brain & stronger immune system
* Cardiovascular health
* Less triglycerides & lower blood pressure
* Reduced risk of heart attack
* Even a lowered risk for: Alzheimer/Dementia, Cancer, and ADHD
Pretty good benefits to taking fish oil, huh?!
PurePharma’s O3 fish oil is specifically designed to be in the perfect ratio of EPA/DHA.

Here’s what PurePharma says about the benefits to cardiovascular health:
“Omega-3 and cardiovascular health
How does omega-3 affect cardiovascular health?
The existing evidence suggests the beneficial effects of omega-3 fatty acids on cardiovascular health stem from their antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory and anti-hypertensive effects (13). Current evidence from animal studies show that diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids decreased dyslipidemia (abnormal blood lipid levels), cholesterol delivery to the artery walls, and arterial wall pro-inflammation; and it actually increases arterial wall anti-inflammation.”
I had done some research on fish oil in the past, and have been taking it for years, but reviewing the PurePharma O3 has opened my eyes to what is really important when taking this supplement. And how you could be missing out on the best benefits by taking lesser quality fish oils.
Some cool things that I learned about the PurePharma are:
* They are completely transparent. Meaning they tell you exactly what the ingredients are, and why they are included.
* They use small fish (anchovies and sardines) because these fish have a short life span. A short life span means, less contaminants.
* They don’t use any artificial additives.
* They even have each batch of fish oil tested at an independent laboratory.
This is the fish oil company that I’ve been looking for!
My Conclusion on PurePharma O3 Fish Oil
I’m going to go ahead and say that in my opinion, PurePharma O3 is the BEST fish oil on the market, and that EVERYONE should at least buy 1 bottle, and track the results.
