My colleague grew up in an environment where her family and friends believed that caviar had a lot of health benefits (except for the salt, of course) and where red caviar was a staple during celebrations. I did a little research on the USDA Nutrient database as to the content of EPA and DHA in caviar. A 50 gram serving contains about 3.2 grams of EPA and DHA. With caviar running anywhere from $50 to $1,000 or more per 50 gram tin, that makes 3.2 grams of EPA and DHA cost between $50 to  $1,000. Yikes! In comparison, one serving of [OmegaRx 2](https://blog.zoneliving.com/shop/omega-3-fish-oil/dr-sears-omegarx2-sport-fish-oil-120-capsules/) has 3 grams of EPA and DHA and one teaspoon of [liquid OmegaRx 2](https://blog.zoneliving.com/shop/omega-3-fish-oil/dr-sears-omegarx-2-fish-oil-10oz-liquid/) has 3.3 grams of EPA and DHA. Not only are you paying an arm and leg for caviar compared to OmegaRx 2 for the same level of EPA and DHA, one can only guess what else (besides the salt) is in the caviar. With the 3.2 grams of EPA and DHA in OmegaRx 2 costing about $1.50 compared to $50 to $1,000 for 50 grams of caviar, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see which is the better deal. You would need 50 grams of caviar to get the same level of EPA and DHA as one serving of  Dr. Sears Zone OmegaRx 2 fish oil! There is an old saying that “a fool and their money are soon parted.” Personally, I would recommend getting your EPA and DHA from OmegaRx and save the money from the caviar to buy expensive jewelry. It lasts longer.[![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/4011822/cd305230-6e34-42f6-9e2c-c2beda556f50.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/4011822/cd305230-6e34-42f6-9e2c-c2beda556f50) [Omega-3 Fish Oil ](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/topic/omega-3-fish-oil), [Zone Diet ](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/topic/zone-diet) ### Popular stories [Injectable Weight Loss Drugs: The Truth About Ozempic and Wegovy](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/ozempic-vs.-zone-diet-a-comparative-analysis-for-weight-loss-0) Jul 25, 2023 [Your Guide to Simple Zone Meals](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/your-guide-to-simple-zone-meals) Apr 21, 2023 [The Zone Diet After 20 Years – What's New?](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/blog/whats-new-about-the-zone-diet-after-20-years) Nov 17, 2015 ### Posts by Tags - [Evidence-Based Wellness (108)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/evidence-based-wellness) - [Zone Diet (93)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/zone-diet) - [Omega-3 Fish Oil (75)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/omega-3-fish-oil) - [Weight Loss (60)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/weight-loss) - [Healthy Aging (49)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/healthy-aging) - [Polyphenols (38)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/polyphenols) - [Heart Health (29)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/heart-health) - [Brain Health (23)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/brain-health) - [Childhood Nutrition (21)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/childhood-nutrition) - [Zone Foods (19)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/zone-foods) - [Athletic Performance (18)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/athletic-performance) - [Genetics (15)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/genetics) - [Q&A (11)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/qa) - [Insulin Resistance (10)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/insulin-resistance) - [Pro-Resolution Nutrition (6)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/pro-resolution-nutrition) - [Gut Health (5)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/gut-health) - [Dr. Barry Sears (3)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/dr-barry-sears) - [Fish Oil (3)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/fish-oil) - [Nutrition (3)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/nutrition) - [Protein (3)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/protein) - [Covid-19 (2)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/covid-19) - [Zone Diet Basics (2)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/zone-diet-basics) - [Zone food (2)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/zone-food) - [AMPK (1)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/ampk) - [Delphinidins (1)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/delphinidins) - [Diabetes (1)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/diabetes) - [Diet (1)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/diet) - [HbA1c (1)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/hba1c) - [Infant Health (1)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/infant-health) - [Inflammation (1)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/inflammation) - [Ketogenic Diet (1)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/ketogenic-diet) - [Lean Body Mass (1)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/lean-body-mass) - [MaquiRx (1)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/maquirx) - [Metabolic Engineering (1)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/metabolic-engineering) - [Metabolism (1)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/metabolism) - [Olive Oil (1)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/olive-oil) - [Pregnancy (1)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/pregnancy) - [Supplements (1)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/supplements) - [Vegan & Vegetarian (1)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/vegan-vegetarian) - [anti-inflammatory diet (1)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/anti-inflammatory-diet) - [blood markers (1)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/tag/blood-markers) [See all](https://blog.zoneliving.com/drsears/blog/fish-oil-is-more-precious-than-caviar#) ### Let Us Know What You Thought about this Post.
