Fish that has omega 3 in it
Common Questions and Answers about Fish that has omega 3 in it
omega-3
I take one to fight babybrain. Omegas are stripped from myelin shealths during pregnancy and since they act as lubricant in the conduction of, essentially thoughts, our thought process is slowed.
I didn't ask my doc about it yet but it does clear up fog in my brain.
Most everyone knows or has heard about omega-3. The omega that many haven't heard about but that is very important to your health is omega-6. While omega-6 isn't bad in and of itself, what's bad about omega-6 is that Americans get too much of it.
Having too much omega-6 and not enough omega-3 in your diet leads to many diseases. To avoid these diseases, you must keep these two very important essential fatty acids in balance or the right ratio.
I give my 20 pound Westie one capsule of "fish oil" each morning. I use scissors and hold the capsule over his kibble - cut tip off and squeeze He seems to like the smell/taste of the oil on his kibble which is also fish based. This capsule is the same that I take, and the dose recommendation for a human (or any weight) is 3 per day.
I can't say I see any improvement in his several problems conditions, but I figure it "can't hurt"...
Others argue that too much fatty fish might be a problem not because of the Omega 3 oils but the contaminants that have gotten into our fatty fish (you can avoid some of this by taking a reliable supplement, but unfortunately we have to rely on company reputation for this as nobody is doing much checking out there). And with flax, is there a difference between organically grown and that grown with carcinogenic chemical applications? Between farm raised fish and wild fish?
What brand of Omega 3's are you using? I have been taking just the Kroger brand Omega 3's with fish oil concentrate. Should I maybe look at the health food store for some that are especially for pregnancy? Thanks!
Oh! I forgot, you would not burp the fish oil if you take the pill each time you eat something or after every meal, I have never had a problem with it.
One thing I did read about the omega fatty acids is that there is a ratio between omega-3's and omega -6's that it is an important balance to keep in the body--sorry I cannot remember the ratio.....
It is absolutely not true that fish oil doesn't help boys. My son was a preemie and later diagnosed with autism. A few friends suggested I try the fish oil with him. Within 2 weeks of starting it, he was like a different child! He began speaking in complete sentences instead of 2 and 3 word groups, and was talking about things going on around him in a way that makes sense instead of just random babbling. It also improved his focus and attention span.
My husband has severe dry eyes, and has started taking omega 3 and flax seed oil. It is working very well, but his dose (after gradual increase to a point of benefit) is more than recommended. Can he overdose on 3 times the normal dose of purified omega 3 fish oil..the brand he takes is Health from the Sea PFO pure fish oil liquid. He takes twice the dose of the flax seed oil (same brand name).
I am not sure of your question. Are you asking where omega 3 and omega 6 foods come from? Omegas 3 / 6 are polyunsaturated oils that help lower cholesterol and help prevent blood platelets from clotting blood vessel walls. The best source is fish especially mackerel, tuna, salmon, and lake trout. Fish should be eaten 2-3 times a week. Omega 3 are found in whole nuts, soy nuts / oil, and canola oil. Recommend 1-2 teaspoons of nuts daily. Hope this answered your question.
t get that awful after taste of fish oil. Maybe you could try it again and see if it works this time - it is supposed to smooth out the wall muscle of the heart and calm any mis-firing of cells that would cause PVCs, PACs or a-fib. Good luck. Doesn't work for my daughter, I believe because she is consistently inconsistent with taking her supplements.
Hi I have been taking Omega 3 fish oil for quite some time...mainly for vanity reasons because it is god for your skin and also taking it for my heart. Now if it helps for anxiety..it does not for me...I had a flu blown panic attack yesterday morning..was the worst ever for me. I thought I was dying. But this is just me experience....I agree that a Vitamin B helps.
It's the omega 3 in it that are good for you, the recommended dose is already in your prenatals so don't take anything extra without consulting your dr first.
the advice about Omega-3, it is one of the supplements that has wide endorsement. One of the reasons it is helpful is that it contributes to plasticity in the neurons (cells of the brain) and this enhances the movement of electrical activity in the brain. Now there is no reason to think that Omega-3 will help with the behavior you are describing, but as a supplement that contributes to healthy brain functioning it can be useful.
Hi,
I'm new here, but have read some posts from the past and have a question for all of those who noticed an increase in palpitations when they used fish oil. I was wondering if you noticed if fish oil in even small amounts caused an increase. I have been having a lot of trouble with palpitations lately and I just noticed that my margarine (a high omega 3 margarine) has fish oil in it. I'm wondering if that could be causing a problem for me.
OMEGA-3 SUPPLEMENTS THAT FAILED! (TOTOX = RANCIDITY)
(TOTOX values above 26 indicate spoilage)
Softgels:
Master Omega-3 Natural Lemon Flavor (360 mg EPA and 240 mg DHA per softgel, 2 per day)
Freshness (TOTOX value = 54.4)
Natural Factors RxOmega-3 Factors EPA 400mg/DHA 200 mg (400 mg EPA and 200 mg DHA per softgel, 1 to 3 per day) Found only 83.
Even if you have no allergy to fish, it could be due to some contaminants in the fish used, other ingredients in the capsule or to the concentrated oil in the capsule. You could also be sensitive to the capsule if you are sensitive to nuts and alpha linoleic acid.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
