688450 tn?1259468734 Hi there, yes there can be a danger to the baby if you are taking a poorly made fish oil supplement. You are going to have to really be careful as to what brand you decide to take. There are a lot of really great brands out there as well as some really not so good ones. Just make sure that they are very reputable and investigate how their oil is produced and where the fish is harvested from and whether or not it comes from wild or farm raised fish like salmon for example.

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.

4093350 tn?1358096154 I take an omega 3 with dha pill from the jamieson brand. Along with 4 folic acid pills and a multivitamin. I haven't noticed any bad side effects from the pills but I was told to take them after dinner so just in case I did it would be while I was sleeping and not so bad.

603543 tn?1255294450 Hats off to those in which responded to Omega 3, but I know way to many sufferers (myself included) That found it to be completly non-effective. I will say that during my time on Omega 3 that my doctor mentioned that my blood work looked great. So no doubt it has some health benifits.
Avatar f tn It is unknown whether doses of omega-3 smaller than those given previously are still effective. The aim of the study was to examine the effect of omega-3 therapy on renal vascular function in relation to proteinuria and urinary excretion of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG). 20 IgA Nephropathy patients aged 36.5 +/- 10 with creatinine clearance (Cr(cl)) 105 +/- 27 ml/min and proteinuria 3 +/- 2 g/24 h were given orally 810 mg EPA and 540 mg DHA daily for 12 months.

Avatar m tn And like statins, red yeast rice may also inhibit the natural synthesis of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), which is needed for optimum heart health. Take 100 to 200 mg of CoQ10 daily when taking red yeast riceā€”or use a formula that combines red yeast rice and CoQ10. References: Becker DJ.

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 m tn Yes, I did in the past. I suffer from the same thing and tried to get off my meds and be natural. At first I was still a little down. I made friends with a nutritionist. I don't remember how much my dose of fish oil was, but you have to take high doses in order for it to be therapeutic. I can't remember the exact dose, but it was plus or minus 1,000 mg of EPA. EPA is found on the back of the bottle. That is what you're looking for. Not, necessarily DHA.
Avatar f tn The EPA / DHA come from the omega 3 so it is important to know ratios of the omega 3 / omega 6 fat oils sources and compare the actual ingredients of the supplements. Omega 3 should have the higher amount then omega 6.

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 f tn I for one experience an increase in my PVC and PAC episodes after I take omega 3. Ever since I only obtain omega 3 from the fish i eat on a bi-weekly basis - i don't take the capsules anymore.
Avatar f tn The omega-3 fatty acids should be in your prenatal.
