Omega 3 nordic naturals

Common Questions and Answers about Omega 3 nordic naturals

omega-3

Avatar f tn No, it's not the Omega 6 that's in overabundance, it's GLA from evening primrose oil. However, you'll probably get better results for HDL by taking the Omega 3 product (I'm assuming you bought Nordic Naturals, an excellent brand). The one you've got is great for overall essential fatty acids, especially for women with hormone problems, but for cholesterol the Omega 3 oils are the best. These are found in fish oil, hemp oil, and flax oil primarily.
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.
518994 tn?1212242047 We work with a company called Nordic Naturals, and I use their pet-specific liquid omega-3 product. We refer to dosing guidelines that have come from oncology, and we dose to the DHA at 30 mg/kg/day. ********************************* Here is that reference: nordicnaturals.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know if Omega-3 helps heart arrythmias? It worked for me, but not for my 30 yr old daughter who suffers from PVCs. They can make life hellish but for the most part are benign - but definitely a quality of life issue. I would say avoid all cardiac stimulants like caffeine, nicotine, and believe it or not - anger and sentimental thoughts can cause arrythmias. You can deliver bad hormones into your own body that stimulate your heart by having scary, or sentimental thoughts.
Avatar m tn t purify it, meaning you get more than just the omega 3 oils, but that means you get less of the omega 3 oils and have to take more of them, and they are expensive. Cod liver oil shouldn't be taken regularly -- it can have a laxative effect, and the liver is a detoxification organ, meaning toxins accumulate there. It can be good for skin problems and other things, but for basic omega 3 you don't want liver oil.
Avatar f tn Nordic Naturals is a good brand of Omega -3 Fatty acids. A lot sold in supermarkets, drugs stores, are rancid, actually doing more harm than good. They ahve a website, they also have research on their site as well.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn Flax oil isn't equivalent to fish oil. While both contain omega 3 oils, the oils they contain are quite different. The reason your shrink recommended fish oil is it's high quantity of EPA and DHA. DHA in particular is essential for proper brain function. Some people do feel lessened depression with a high dose of fish oil daily. I don't know about anxiety. Make sure you buy one from a good company that uses clean fish; I prefer Nordic Naturals.
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.
Avatar f tn The mother then suffers the ill effects of having low levels. I supplement with Nordic Naturals Algae Omega. It is non GMO, mercury free, and gives you no unpleasant fish burps. I started supplementing with this as soon as I found out I was pregnant as a preventative, so both baby and myself have as much as we need. I hope this helps! I hope you enjoy the rest of your pregnancy!
Avatar n tn At the suggestion of a friend, I recently started taking Omega 3 fish oil capsules. I am also taking high blood pressure medication. Over the past six months my medication has been changed four times as I've had a host of side effects from each medication. Unfortunately, each side effect would occur in conjunction with some other change in my health/lifestyle so it was hard to detect or pinpoint what the cause of my problem was. This recent condition is no exception.
374933 tn?1291081784 I use Nordic Naturals or Trader Joe's brands and have no problems with them. they are molecularly distilled to remove any heavy metals. If the complex means omega 3-6-9. stay away. Our diets our usually heavy on the omega 6's and low on the omega-3's. Taking Omega 3 is enough to set the balance straight. Omega 3's are a great supplement and can help inflammation, cholesterol, heart disease and in high enough doses- mood.
Avatar f tn I also take Garden of life raw prenatal, raw Co q 10 (our bodies produce less as we get older ),raw iron,Nordic Naturals algae omega for EPA and DHA, these things will optimize pregnancy. Help the things you can control the rest is prayer and in God's hands ! I wish you the best! It could just be implantation bleeding. I am 46 and now happy to be at 29 weeks! Praise be to God!
1355431 tn?1369975306 ve ever been in has Source Naturals fish oil on the shelf, but they always have Nordic Naturals and Carlson, plus some cheaper oils and now New Chapter, which is even more expensive but has low dosages because they use a very expensive lower heat process. It's all good.
Avatar m tn t know if the connection is there, but keep in mind until someone got the horrible idea of killing krill, on which the most endangered ocean species depend, so we can have another source of omega 3 oils, people have never consumed them. So who knows what sensitivities might be out there? Fish oil is pretty much as good, and maybe even better for DHA, so you should be fine using fish oil if you feel the krill oil is affecting you adversely.
476654 tn?1207852799 I am considering going off Lexapro due to wight gain after only 4 months. I found a post and can't find it again about taking Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Capsules (fish oil) as a form of therapy for depression & anxiety. Has anyone else tried this and had success?
Avatar n tn Also I take Nordic Naturals Algae omega for DHA and EPA which is very important for babies brain development and in preventing post partum depression in moms. Get lots of rest. Be positive, stress is bad for you and baby! Best regards!
Avatar m tn m putting this on here is because I take Barleans Flax Oil caps (four a day, not very many), and Nordic Naturals Omega 3 caps (7 per day). The high HDL would seem to indicate these are being assimilated, which is the hardest part of taking supplements -- finding a brand that actually is absorbed well. So just wanted to let everyone know. Also wanted to comment on PSA testing, or Prostate Specific Antigen. This is a test used to determine if a person might have prostate cancer brewing.
377493 tn?1356502149 I don't mean to be the party pooper, particularly as I'd be delighted to find a way of getting omega-3 since I've gone off fish entirely and can't bring myself to so much as look at it... but I just coincidentally read something that said that just as some fish can be high in mercury, so can fish oil supplements and apparently there are no studies one the mercury content of fish oil supplements. Any thoughts??
871965 tn?1241833146 Everything the other ladies has told you is great!! I would also add that I have been reading a lot about omega 3 fish oils. Very good for the developing brain, and we shouldn't eat to much real fish due to mercury content. Good luck to you!!
535882 tn?1396576685 Hi, I'm a nutritionist. Fish oil and Flax oil have been proven to help with depression. (See the book, Miracle Cures, by Jean Carper). "Nordic Naturals" is an excellent brand of fish oil. You take 2 a day. One in the am and one in the pm. All the B vitamins help with depression too. If your a woman, take a multi vitamin/mineral supplement that is NOT iron-free. If your a man, take one that IS iron-free. A good multi will have all the B vitamins in all the amounts you need.

Avatar f tn I don't live in the US but i have ordered from Life Extension. So far I've only purchased NAC but i'm looking at a few other products. I've just read green coffee bean extract is on special. Another order!
Avatar f tn Another great supplement to take while pregnant along with your prenatal is omega-3. My doctor recommended Nordic Naturals prenatal dha tabs. They have 400 units in each tab of vitamin d. I take it twice a day along with my prenatals that also have 1000 units. Plus the dha is promotes healthy brain, eyes, & bones for baby as well as support a healthy mood for momma.
Avatar f tn i thank you soooo much for your responses regarding my 11 yr old beagle - shih tzu mix with the 2-3 asymptomatic heart murmur. i am going to purchase the nordic naturals fish oil and start this dog on them, as well as my other 2 dogs (11 and 12 yr old dacshunds). my 11 yr old long haired dacshund has some arthritis and stiffness and a year ago we started giving him a supplement called "joint strong" and he has much better mobility then he did before.
Avatar n tn Wanted to add when my Mom was giving birth to 2nd child the lady across the hall had her baby first and she was 54 yrs old !! Healthy Baby!
