omega-3

Avatar f tn No, cod liver oil should be avoided. You can get fish oil (that's not from liver) which is great for you and baby.
Avatar f tn Cod liver oil contains vitamin D! Are you then taking to much D? Cod liver is more likely to contain contaminants. Cod liver oil contains vitamin A and D they are fat soluble that being said they can cause toxicity in excessive amounts. Primrose oil contains omega 6 and if you google foods containing omega 6 then I will guess you are consuming way to much omega 6 to omega 3. You didn't state what your diet consists of. Your multi. might contain all the vitamins that you stated.
Avatar n tn asp That explains why my Cod Liver Oil tablets cured my food, pet, and dust allergies. Omega 3 is fish oil, mainly. I'd still love to hear someone's herbal/alternative cure for hay fever.
Avatar f tn I'm 11 weeks pregnant with my 1st child. Just had my first prenatal visit over a week ago. Doc said he wanted me start omega pills & handed me a flyer with different brand name options. The one that stood out was Nordic Naturals. I went to their website, click the pregnancy tab & reviewed the options for pregnancy which were Cod liver oil & Prenatal DHA. My best friend who already has a child told me the cod liver oil was the best so I decided to buy it.

3123363 tn?1342180850 I recommend taking a multi-vitamin, Omega 3 Fish Oil, and Cod Liver Oil daily for starters. You can Google these are see what the benefits are. Best of luck!
Avatar m tn Krill oil is very good for Omega 3 oils, but it's also environmentally not so good for humans to be using as it's the main source of food for so many endangered and threatened species. Something to think about. Nordic Naturals makes a fine fish oil not made of krill, with a dedicated fishery in clean waters off Scandanavia.
Avatar f tn Cod liver oil isn't the best fish oil for inflammation or for omega 3 oils. It comes in gel caps, which you don't taste at all. Nordic Naturals is a very good brand for omega 3 rich fish oil.
Avatar m tn I would take daily supplements of cod-liver oil (a teaspoon a day) and a teaspoon of an omega-3. These things often happen for simple reasons like sitting in an airplane seat for too many hours. Next time it happen's I'd go to an emergency room.
Avatar m tn I started taking cod liver oil pills one a day for its general health benefits but couldn't use it for more than 7 days because of severe itching all over body. After 7 days I stopped taking it, a week passed but still my body was itching. It appears that the skin has become more sensitive. The itching could happen at any part of the body but mostly in arms, hands and legs. When I itch it becomes red. The redness remains for about an hour and then it disappear.
Avatar f tn Some people recommend a dose of between 1000mg of EPA with 500mg of DHA in Omega 3 and a dose of 1000mg of Cod liver oil. Vitamin C between 500mg and 1000mg. This should not only improve the depression but also help with the joints. However always consult with your doctor if you are currently taking medication or ask for advice with a local health store on recommended doses and drug interactions( if any).
20449547 tn?1498153448 but read that cod liver oil is a no-no. Does any one have any insight into what is a good supplement?
Avatar f tn For five months, researchers gave 65 children who had been diagnosed with behavioral problems daily supplements of fish oil (containing 475 mg of EPA, 151 mg of DHA, and other omega-3 fatty acids) and evening primrose oil (containing 54 mg of GLA and other omega-6 fatty acids). At the end of the study, the lead researcher of the study, Dr.
1110049 tn?1409402144 I understand that Omega 3 fish oil is more for bones and cod liver oil is more for heart health. So I guess both would be good. D3 is one of the most important as we don't generally run around naked in the sun! At least, I don't! I live in Arizona where there is plenty of sunshine, but I don't get out in it much as it gets too hot here. I did not try the krill oil as it is quite costly. Hope this info was helpful.
Avatar n tn Lutein is also good supplement for eyes. Blueberries. Beta carotene and vitamin A. Cod liver oil (omega 3). Stay away from processed foods. Eat organic when possible.

1976414 tn?1326171323 Husband taking Udos's oil (similiar to flax - a 3-6-9 Omega) and has been successful. I think the answer is yes, as long as you've got 20 g of fat in there.
Avatar n tn Do an elimination process. Shower without soap, shampoo, etc. Then vary the temperature of the water. check differences. Temperature seems to be key so check room temperature when exiting the shower. Hotter or colder. Try a bath instead of a shower. Try sodium bicarbonate (Baking soda) in the bath. Have a Dr. do a high histamine check (Consists of a simple scratch test on your arm) Someone else suggested to have a high red blood cell count test done.
Avatar m tn 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. It can also reduce your clotting factor if taken in too high doses, causing excessive bleeding. Experts do agree on one thing, take omega 3 acids from foods rather than supplements. Without a doubt, having enough Omega 3 acids in your diet does improve health.

535822 tn?1443976780 For regular use, fish oil is much safer and higher in DHA and EPA than cod liver oil, which is more appropriate for stomach problems or skin problems or dry eyes, things that you usually would only use it as long as needed.
