Omega-3 Protocol & Product Guide
A physician's 8-page protocol matching four omega-3 products to your goal, with what the trials show, where the evidence is limited, and 15 sources.
Choosing the best fish oil is about what you are trying to accomplish, how much EPA and DHA that takes, and whether the evidence behind the claim is as strong as the label suggests. This guide is the protocol companion to the three-part omega-3 series of The Aslan Health Podcast.
What is inside
Foundational rules: food first, a clear goal, dosing by combined EPA + DHA, meals that contain fat, and quality and storage.
A goal-based table for six common health goals, with the target, the preferred product type, what to track, and the cautions for each.
Four products on the Omega-3, Fish Oil protocol: Pro-Resolve Omega, ProOmega 2000, Ultimate Omega 2X Sport, and Neptune Krill Oil 1000mg, each with its label details and label caution.
The published evidence and Dr. Hauman’s clinical experience, kept in separate rows for every product, including where results conflict or the research is still preliminary.
Quality and storage standards, a reassessment schedule, and the warning signs that it is time to stop and talk with your clinician.
The guide draws on the VITAL trial, the American Heart Association’s science advisory on triglycerides, a meta-analysis of atrial fibrillation risk, the knee osteoarthritis trials of krill oil and of an SPM-enriched oil, and the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, with 15 sources listed in full.
Higher doses carry a safety signal for atrial fibrillation, so moving into higher-dose territory is a conversation with your clinician, not a self-directed decision. Triglyceride lowering is clinician-directed and may require a prescription product. Talk with your clinician first if you have a fish or shellfish allergy, a bleeding disorder, a heart rhythm problem, liver disease, or surgery ahead; if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; or if you take a blood thinner or antiplatelet medication.
Products: the Aslan Health Fullscript storefront and the Omega-3, Fish Oil protocol, which lists the four products in this guide.
