Common Questions and Answers about Omega 3 good for memory

omega-3

Avatar n tn There has been a lot on the tv and in papers about omega 3 fish oils which are supposed to help with concentration etc. You can get omega 3 in eggs and fish but you can also by capsules. You don't say how long you have been off the coffee, it may take a while for your body to adjust. Also psychologically you associate coffee with keeping you alert so that needs to change also.
1655526 tn?1330655629 I know that omega 3 is really supposed to be good for the heart, but I get palps after I take them for 3 days, especially krill oil. I'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.
Avatar f tn U know it sounds to me like ur brain is very low in Omega 3. Omega 3 is a good fat that can be found in large amounts in oily fish such as Mackeral... Omega 3 is scientifically known to improve concentration, lower anxiety and in effect 'wake the brain up'.
518994 tn?1212242047 I read where Omega 3 was good for your dog. Is it a different Omega 3 or is it the same that humans take?
Avatar n tn one with ADHD/Aspgerger's, one with Oppositional Defiance and one that's just a typical boy. The Omega-3 has helped all of them with moods, concentration, impulsivity & better handwriting. The omega, in addition to a healthier diet, makes me feel like I am helping them get through life in a way that can be managed for the rest of their lives. If you teach them a certain lifestyle early, the hope is that it will travel with them throughout their adult years.
Avatar f tn My shitzu dog is 7 years old and has kidney stones and allergies.He also has high cholesterol(Cushings' disease suspected). He weighs about 10 lbs. Is it safe for me to give him omega 3 capsules and what should be the dosage? Thank you, Mrs.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn I was part of a gingko biloba study for two years. It certainly works for memory and I am the guinea pig to prove it. Memory is what helps you learn quickly so it should be good for you. One suggestion: don't take it late at night. And get it from a reliable maker. We used Ginkgold.
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 m tn I took an Omega-3 supplement for the first time before going to bed last night, and when I woke up one eye was very swollen and puffy. The only allergies I have had are seasonal. Could I be allergic to the Omega-3 supplement?
Avatar f tn Does anyone know if I can just take an omega-3 supplement, or should I eat all the foods this app is telling to to get it. I'm not much of a fish eater.
Avatar n tn I have been taking fish oil for about 5 years now and take approximately 2 grams with an Omega-3 total breakdown of 600 EHA and 400 DHA per day. I know I know, talk to your doctor bla bla bla (and I will to be sure) In the meantime should I trash the pills?
662374 tn?1224986757 I think it depends on a few things, your age for one. Are you on other meds besides those given for BP? I find my memory isn't as good, and my pdoc said it's rare but can happen. I try to take Omega 3's, that's supposed to help with brain function, and if your diet isn't optimal. You might want to give it a shot!
Avatar m tn 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!
403156 tn?1290150018 ALWAYS take the prescription meds. Omega 3 or 6 is awsome for brain boosting and great for the heart too. Been taking it for years. I know it does not control bipolar because I suffered horrible symptoms before my diagnosis when I was taking Omega 3 already. Just got my diagnosis and added in the bipolar meds!
773755 tn?1328119777 Anchovies are very high in omega 3 fatty acids, and are quite beneficial -- except, they're often packed in a lot of salt and oil to get that taste, which kind of lowers the healthfulness. You can get them not packed in sunflower oil; you either want them not in oil or in olive oil, for best taste.
19457880 tn?1478056142 But I suffered TBI, memory loss and abusive people for decades losing my original info. Though of course I still turn the Kennedy disease test positive and their are signs in tests of some of what I've been through. I currently take glucosamine, omega 3, D3, calcium, magnesium, kelp, multi vitamin, metabolic booster(herbal with cider vinegar, iodine, and something else), vitamin e, and I also take several medications.
Avatar f tn Hemp seed oil is another good source of omega 3 fats. Not only should this be safe for diabetics, your doctor would probably recommend it, since it helps the heart and helps with circulation.

9214378 tn?1408881584 s a great question, but the answer is going to be a bit complicated, so bare with me. Eggs are normally good for dogs in small quantities. But, they contain good omega-3 fatty acid AND the bad-for-dogs-in-kidney-failure omega-6 fatty acid. The best answer with eggs I have found is to be cautious, because what happened to eggs through mass production and processing over the last 100 years has changed their value completely.
Avatar f tn A half-cup of cottage cheese, 1 cup of yogurt or 1 ounce of hard cheese provide between 10 and 15 ounces of protein, approximately one third of your daily protein requirement. Omega-3 fatty acids. The nutrient is necessary for learning, concentration and memory, it’s essential to provide your brain with an adequate supply. If you don't like salmon, sardines or trout, walnuts, hazelnuts or cashews are good alternatives. Omega-3 supplements are also available in capsule form.
Avatar f tn You dad should probably have been prescribed a baby aspirin a day and 1000 mg a day of omega-3 fish oils at a minimum, plus a daily quality vitamin tablet. He needed evaluation at a stroke center rather than an ordinary hospital, and a 3 T (Tesla) MRI. Before fooling around with aspirin he needs a clotting time test (PTT). This problem could be caused by a bleed or a clot, but it is more likely to have been a clot.
