Why do I need to take Omega-3 MD fish oil supplements so many times per day?
Omega-3 EFAs survive in the bloodstream about 4-6 hours before they begin to breakdown. The body cannot make or store these Omega-3 EFAs, and that is why they are referred to “essential” fatty acids. However, the body can make and store enormous amounts of saturated fat, and some monounsaturated fat (from the excess carbohydrates, proteins, and fat that you eat every day).
