omega-3

Avatar m tn I am keen to balance out any hormone imbalance but i seem to have a sensitivity to omega 3, or perhaps is it iodine? Most of the literature online seems to suggest omega 3 will reduce inflammation, thereby helping reduce acne.
518994 tn?1212242047 There are various vitamin-mineral supplements available that contain this or you could just add a little (~1/2 teaspoon) extra virgin olive oil to your dogs meals. Olive oil is a great source of Omega-3 Fatty acids. The omega-3's are the same for people and pets. If you give too much the result would be a bit of gas and/or loose stool.
Avatar f tn There are many balanced blends of omega-3/omega-6. How much to use can vary from 1 to 2 tablespoons and sometimes 3 tablespoons daily. Start with 2 tablespoons daily and look for changes over six to eight weeks. After that time, if your skin is less or no longer dry, the amount can be adjusted. You should add vitamin E as mixed tocopherols, 400 to 800 IU daily. Add a small quantity (2-5 milligrams daily) of biotin. I would also add 30 milligrams of zinc (as picolinate or citrate).
1655526 tn?1330655629 ve read in this forum that others have also had adverse reactions to taking this supplement. So I wanted to put this poll out to see how omega 3 affects you. The first time I suspected krill oil, which is supposed to be the best omega 3, I used the process of elimination. Still not believing it I did it a second and third time. Now I don't dare take it even after my ablation for SVT because I don't want the other arrythmias.
Avatar f tn you know, I haven't been taking the Omega 3 since I got pregnant - they make me nauseous. I just take my prenatals daily. I try to eat healthy(doesn't always happen) but i do try. I didnt take any Omega 3 with my other kids and their fine, so oh well.
Avatar f tn I take my prenatal pill one times a day. And It has everything I need But No omega 3 an I heard to take it 2nd or 3rd trimester. Just don't remember what was said.
Avatar f tn The omega-3 fatty acids should be in your prenatal.
Avatar m tn For skin health you want to eat foods high in Omega 3, Antioxidants, Vitamin E, and Vitamin C. Some examples are Fish, and Nuts/Seeds for Omega 3. Berries for Antioxidants ( I love adding blueberries), Spinach or offer Leafy veggies for Vit E. Broccoli, cantaloupe for Vit C.
Avatar n tn While all children with ADHD are not deficient in omega-3 fatty acids, we believe that the addition of omega-3 fatty acids to the diet may be important for some ADHD children. In fact, studies show that children whose treatment program includes only medication, educational and psychological therapy continue to be at high risk for vandalism, petty crime, frequency of alcoholic intoxication, and possession of marijuana.
Avatar f tn Evening primrose oil may benefit dermatitis by improving deficient levels of essential fatty acids. Also, taking omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish oil and flaxseed, have anti-inflammatory properties and may help improve skin (this is a daily supplement I take). Try to find chamomile creams, which topical chamomile is about as potent as a product containing 0.25 percent hydrocortisone. Chamomile-based creams may help relieve dermatitis. I hope you find releif soon!!
Avatar n tn My ankles began to swell on a regular basis and has been attributed to the medication. When I started taking the Omega 3, I already had experienced some swelling of the ankles, but a week later, my eyelids started to get puffy and developed a rash. I've been on Omega 3 for five weeks now and the puffiness has turned into swelling and the skin rash is getting itchy and scaly. Could there be some by product in the capsules that may cause this problem?
Avatar f tn You may discuss this with your physician since you may need to have your medications assessed and the dose modified. Apply light and bland cream over the area to moisturize it. The dryness may initiate an itch scratch cycle.This may lead to a dermatitis or eczema in some areas. Do keep us posted regarding physician's advice.
Avatar f tn And as far as I heard applying dry products increase oil secretion from skin. So should I apply only oil control moisturizer or moisturizer and talc? For talc I am thinking top use axe denim I am a guy, from India, age 17.
Avatar n tn The type of medication prescribed will depend on many factors, including the type of eczema, past treatment, and the patient’s preference. Topical (applied to the skin) medication like mild steroids(hydrocortisone)to higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide) is frequently prescribed. If the eczema is more severe, phototherapy (a type of treatment that uses light therapy) or systemic (circulates throughout the body) medication like oral steroids may be prescribed.
Avatar m tn 1%) in participants who consumedat least 250mg per day of omega-3 oil compared to participants who consumed less than 250 mg per day of omega-3 oil (P<0.0001) (4). Sudden cardiac death was defined as death within 5 minutes to 1 hour of symptom onset. There was no significant difference in the risk of a non-fatal myocardial infarction (heart attack) between participants who consumed equal to or greater than 250 mg per day of omega-3 oils and those who consumed less than 250 mg per day.
Avatar m tn Many studies are exposed everyday. My opinion is this : try to eat food which contain omega 3 such as sardines or salmon etc If it is difficult for you I would suggest omega 3 capsules but I would also suggest you to confirm this with your doctor because all capsules are not the same!
Avatar m tn Quite a complex topic this but at the same time an interesting one. Omega 3 isn't just one substance, Omega three are fatty acids just like Omega 6 fatty acids found in oils and meat etc. Omega 3 are EPA, DHA, and ALA . Some experts have said that the balance between Omega 6 fatty acids and Omega 3 is key, but just as many say this is nonsense. Omega 3 do have benefits, mainly reducing inflammation in the body, such as in the arteries or joints.
Avatar n tn I'm 19, I've recently started to take Omega-3 supplements. When i took them, after a while, it felt as if my chest and throat tightened a little, but it wasn't difficult to breathe at all. Also, when i woke up this morning it feels like something is crawling in my throat. Am I allergic? Should I keep taking these supplements?
317787 tn?1473358451 Hi there! I just found this group and was wondering if anyone had tried Omega 3 supplements. I am trying them now for stiffness in joints, body. I've also read it can help with brain fog or fuzzy thinking.
440171 tn?1204778801 I was told today that Omega 3 Fish Oil is good also for dry skin. I just got a bottle and you just have to take one capsule once a day. It isn't expensive either.
Avatar f tn And just get the OMEGA -3 fish oil, not the Omega -6 oil added, as there is usually omega -6 already in commercial dog foods, sometimes too much omega -6. And not enough or any Omega 3 to offset the omega 6. These are what are called "fatty acids".
1670226 tn?1334252274 Evening primrose oil is good and you shouldn't stop taking it, but it's not an Omega-3. Omega-3's fight inflammation in your body. Plus, my optometrist said my eyes had "an oil problem," as in not enough. I alternate taking (1) 1200mg capsule of fish oil daily and (1) 1000mg capsule of flaxseed oil daily. That's just a personal preference. Also, when my eyes were really bad, I took one of each for 4 or 5 days.
1070027 tn?1258310587 How long does it takes for small skin nerve fibers to regenerate, or to regrow?
1543111 tn?1293314661 The pain starts at the colon and goes up and around to my stomach lower intestines. Am I allergic to Omega 3? I am not allergic to any fish as far as I know.
Avatar n tn Hello. I have for the past six months had a problem with the skin on my face. This started after I used a socalled "dermaroller" (looks like this: http://kellygoncalves.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/skin_roller_derma_roller.jpg) on it; I also applied a vit A and D ointment for a couple of days afterwards. I started noticing a burning sensation after a few days or maybe even earlier...
