omega-3

Avatar m tn I am taking Nature Made Fish Oil 1200 mg, I take 3 pills a day and it is working perfectly, I can even jog 1.5 miles a day with no problems at all.
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 f tn Hey ladies have any of you gotten a Dr's advice on best source of omega 3 for baby's brain development? I was told that ground flaxseed is best but other literature says that fish oil is better as it has the DHA property. Any advice???
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.
657586 tn?1224587947 lol. I take Omega 3 Fish oil pills now while ttc. No matter what we do, babies or no babies, they will find fault with just about everything so I say...eat up ladies and make sure the fish is thoroughly cooked. Have a nice day!
Avatar f tn Are the Nature Made Fish oil 1200mg ok for me to take? Im taking a prenatal from Wholefoods called Baby & Me, but it has no Dha in it... so im taking fish oil, with no mercury in it... im wondering if that is Safe to take. Please help?!!
Avatar m tn Study leader Maria Makrides had 272 nursing mothers of premature children take six omega-3 supplement pills a day. This was meant to replicate the amount of omega-3 that full-term babies usually receive in the womb during the third trimester of pregnancy. Eighteen months later, they found that female babies of moms taking the placebo scored slightly lower than the moms taking the omega-3s.
Avatar f tn You need a certain amount of seafood for the omega 3, and I think they say max one can of tuna a week, but tuna is a higher mercury fish. I think you can have more of the lower mercury ones without a problem, but I would double check with your doctor or even just google it. Make sure you cook whatever you're eating, though.
Avatar f tn I still dont eat it often due to the fact I know there is mercury content, but the omega 3 benefits outweigh that or so they believe. So I just splurge here and there but LIGHT tuna only!!
688450 tn?1259468734 My sister was reading over the info on an box of her old prenatal vitamins CitraNatal DHA and it was stated that ingestion of more than 3 grams /(3,000 mgs) of omega-3 fatty acids per day has been shown to have potential antithrombotic effects, including an increased bleeding time and INR. Administration of omega-3 fatty acids should be avoided if on anticoagulants and in those known to have an inherited or acquired bleeding diathesis.
671251 tn?1236116671 It also said that flax seed and flax seed oil are high in Omega 3 fatty acids without the worry of mercury. Flax seed flour is good to add to foods in place of some of the flour. It has to be ground or crushed to be used by our bodies. Walnuts are another good source too. I found a good recipe for salmon cakes in Joy of Cooking. Here is the recipe I used.
1319721 tn?1276040968 This is a common misconception. Both fish oil and krill oil contain Omega 3 fatty acids. These fatty acids have been shown to possibly reduce the risk of heart disease. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration stopped just short of stating that Omega 3 fatty acids conclusively reduced the risk of heart disease. It was enough though, to fuel a craze about fish oil. Studies would go on to find that the Omega 3 fatty acids had other benefits than just cardio.
Avatar n tn The Omega 3 in fish is good for you and baby but the mercury and having raw fish can be dangerous. I'm not sure what type of fish is used for the sushi you had but the smaller the fish the less mercury it has.
Avatar f tn Fish is good cuz of the omega 3. Some fish does have mercury like mackrel.
1756970 tn?1314376733 Your welcome. Well the more EPA the better, so if you want more EPA then yes buy a different one, I am not 100% sure how you tell if it has Mercury in it or not, maybe in should say on the bottle, but i guess it might not sure. I buy Usana fish oil and i know its a good brand and does take the Mercury out, my suppler has told me it does. It also contains vitamin D as it is needed to absorb the fish oil properly. Now how long it takes to work is different to everyone and depends on the issue etc.
Avatar n tn My doctor told me to continue the fish oil and retest in 3 months. Have you guys heard fo Flaxseed oil pills? Someone told me to try taken that instead of the fish oil and see if it helps.. What are your thoughts?
Avatar f tn I had it for lunch! Just went for the low mercury cooked ones! Also look for the fish high in omega 3 like cooked salmon.
Avatar f tn They say afford seafood with high mercury but a lot of apps say that seafood is really good for the baby cause contains omega 3 in some seafood which is great for development! I try to eat seafood once a week so he can get some omega 3!
446156 tn?1275859576 And some prescribed prenatals have Omega 3 in them. Just ask your doctor for the dosage. The good thing about Omega 3 is that it is fish oil without having to eat fish which could have mercury. The mercury is not present in the Omega 3.
Avatar f tn Yes normally omega 3 fish,but watch out for fish that contain mercury and u shouldnt eat it too often,i hardly eat fish but when i crave it i eat tilapia.
Avatar f tn You should be taking omega 3 in any case. Statins, by lowering cholesterol, also interfere with the absorption of fat soluble nutrients, which of course includes omega 3. The most important for the heart is EFA, which is found in largest amounts in fish oil, but flax and hemp oil are also very high in omega 3 oils. But omega 3 oils don't do the same thing as statins. Statins lower LDL cholesterol, the bad kind, whereas omega 3 oils provide the good kind of cholesterol, HDL.

Avatar m tn s more prevalent in fish that are higher in omega 3 acids. Certainly salmon has less mercury than tuna, but a lot more omega 3 (at least wild salmon, that is). And it also depends on where the fish is caught as to how high the mercury levels will be. I think, as I've often said, that what we know about food and medicine is pretty much nothing -- lots of information, very little fact. This is a misconception about the word "science.
446896 tn?1237802742 I have a curiosity question...I am also taking Omega 3 fish oil, as well as a B vitamin supplement. Has anyone heard if these are OK with Prozac (fluoxetine)? I have looked for information, and havent found anything yet. Let me know if you know...
Avatar m tn 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. DHA and EPA fatty acids are obtained from oily fish. ALA is from walnuts, soybeans, flax, Olive oil etc. The only source I know of which can supply EPA/DHA rather than fish, is egg yolks. 2 a day is supposed to be adequate.
Avatar f tn There's concerns with mercury and stuff with fish but at the same time because of the protein and omega 3 that it contains it's actually recommended for pregnant women to eat up to 12 ounces or so of seafood a week so go for it!
