Sanderson Fish Oil 3000mg

IMHO, most of these health supplements are just overpriced placebo effects. Some of them are produced with fish waste and unsold/expired fish from the retailers like supermarkets, in the name of reducing food waste :D
Lots of studies on the benefits, but not all fish oils are equal. I like that this is higher dose without fishy taste or smell, at the right price.
Supplements in general can be controversial and mixed results. But Omega 3 does have decent evidence the last time I checked, benefits mainly for brain and heart health, some around cognition/"mental" health. I like buying algae oil because there's less mercury/heavy metal exposure, and probably a little more environmentally friendly and ethical.

As far as I know there's no conclusive evidence for benefits on brain health and possibly no longer even for heart health, I say this as someone who takes it, this specific brand and dose, for brain health anyway.
AFAIK the only supplements with good evidence are magnesium (for sleep but varies by user), zinc (common deficiency in men), iron (very common deficiency in women), and creatine (proven benefits for certain exercises, no proven brain benefit).
Otherwise it's basically just take whatever you have deficiencies in which is hard to know without blood tests. With a varied diet and enough veges you're probably fine on most vitamins though. I take magnesium and fish oil, I eat heaps of meat and dairy so not worried about zinc, and I'm not worried about creatine benefits though I have considered it when I sporadically get really into lifting.
I bought this one instead which seems also a pretty good deal too https://www.chemistwarehouse.co.nz/buy/114057/go-healthy-fis…
I buy Sanderson Magnesium and it’s great. I go to Bargain Chemist to price beat Chemist Warehouse when they have a sale and stock up.
