flaxseed vs fish oil supplements

20mls is equivilent to about 1.5 tablespoons of flaxseed oil per day, or 20 capsules of fish oil that is 1000 milligrams in strenghth. The difference with Swank and OMS is in the latest research. Either diet will work.

Hi, I take flaxseed oil. I was taking it for the benefits to the heart. Haven't heard about benefits to panic attack sufferers. Would like to learn more though.

I have very dry skin, which has been worse since I've been having thyroid problems - I had been taking flaxseed oil, but the doctor suggested that I try fish oil instead (3000 mg/ day), as it's more easily absorbed. It made a real difference - for the better :-) You should probably ask your doctor, but if they have no objections, it could be quite helpful.

m still having him take a 1000mg of flaxseed, do you know anything about males and flaxseed vs fish oil. I hate to abandon the flaxseed, since I've spent money on it. But will the fish oil help his swimmers more? Oh, and how much Fish Oil do you think I should take?

Does anyone know if drizzling flaxseed oil onto salad, orange juice and other foods is OK for people with MS? I heard that flaxseed oil is supposed to help patients with MS a lot. It contains Omega 3 fatty acids.

thanks but checked the flax seed also has soy in it. so going to stay away until i talk to endo and see if what i was taking was enough to induce bleeding gums.

MY QUESTION IS, DO I NEED TO DISCONTINUE MY FISH OIL CAPSULES AND/OR FLAXSEED OIL CAPSULES? IF SO, WHEN?

I am nearly 6 Weeks pregnant, just found out and I have been taking vitamins such as Alive for a daily supplement, fish oil, and garlic since before I found out. I am now also taking prenatals, my question is are the other vitamins safe to be taking still while I am pregnant?

My eye doc for the dry eyes and blepheritis said to start taking flax seed supplements not fish oil supp that is flaxseed supp is better. Why is this cause I thought fish oil supp are better. Also how much flax seed oil pills should I take. I got 1000mg of them. Thanks.

Maybe diabetes. I have heard of this as a symptom of it.

I have graves and thyroid eye diease and flaxseed oil works better for me than fish oil. I take it everyday and it seems to help, also staying hydrated is really important. And if I am good not drinking helps...but sometimes you just need the wine.

I would listen to your cardiologist or internal medicine doctor if they are very familiar with this situation. Omega 3 fish oil and flaxseed oil can both sometimes increase bleeding in patients taking blood thinners like coumadin (warfarin), apirin, and plavix. In diabetics on glucose lowering drugs there is some evidence that suggest that flaxseed oil may increase fasting blood sugar levels.

s multi but alternate 1 one day and 1 the day after i give to my husband 2 tablets of spirulina every day and 1 tablet of fish oil and 1 tablet of flaxseed oil I am 25 and my husband 30 your answer will be much appreciated

My other amazing thought is that you take a multiple vitamin-mineral supplement with antioxidants ,B Complex and Vit C, they also say Fish oil or Flaxseed oil capsules are good.I have also found itr helpful to eliminate all common allergenic foods like Dairy and wheat ,and of course additives ,again a good health food store will be able to aid you and print out information, You can also google it and get more Good luck let us know if they work for you.

yes, i've had bad pvcs when taking fish oil, flaxseed oil and primrose oil - co q10 as well. i wonder if these supplements affect your hormone levels and that is why.

Loaded with alpha-linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid that helps reduce inflammation, flaxseed has been used for centuries for medicinal and health reasons. Gandhi proclaimed, "Wherever flaxseed becomes a regular food item among the people, there will be better health." The seed itself has terrific nutritional value, very usable protein, tremendous fatty acids, and minerals like magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Additionally, they're a great source of fiber.

I started taking omega3 fish oil supplements, and my Dr was fine with it. I take that along with my prenatals and vitamin D, and a teaspoon of coconut oil..

So I keep watching website and it tells me that the BEST foods you can eat for hormones (women over 40) are salmon, eggs, spinach, cinnamon and flaxseed oil. I have learned to incorporate each in my diet per day. Since I was having HORRIBLE leg cramps even on magnesium and potassium, I also added two circulation complexes to my regimen. Cramps have gone down by 80 percent, which is ALMOST acceptable. HOWEVER>>>>I am getting the pvc runs here and there.

I am 10 weeks pregnant and have been taking the generic prenatal vitamins plus over the counter Omega 3 fatty acid supplements that contain fish oil concentrate from Kroger since I don't eat seafood. They have 240mg of DHA and 360mg of EPA in 2 capsules. My doctor told me to take them, but online I've been finding that the fish oil and other things in the over the counter supplements may be bad during pregnancy.

To help me get pregnant after my miscarriage I used DIM fish oil flaxseed oil and took prenatals

Flax seeds, whole, will just pass through your GI tract pretty much undisturbed.A lot has written about flaxseed oil but more has been validated with Fish Oil to really have a positive impact on lipids, heart, inflammation, eyes, GI and joints.I would recommend a prescription type Fish Oil to assure purity and consistency in dosage. Do you really need 8 glasses of water? You're probably swallowing quite a bit of air with that.

I have been taking fish oil supplements and then switched to flaxseed oil supplements to help my dry eyes after having iol surgery and later, lasik touchup on one of my eyes....Now i found that both were VERY effective in giving me a nice tear layer and worked great...but the problem for me is it seems i have either a hypersensitivity in taking either one and develop side effects after a while where i seem to get headaches and an uncomfortable feeling in my throat...

I asked my doctor (RE) about taking 81 mg of baby aspirin to encourage blood flow to the uterus but she said the effects are not proven and therefore she does not use it in her practice. I'd still like to try it, however..particularly because my menses was especially "clotty" this month (sorry tmi!). But I also take flaxseed oil and I want to make sure that taking both of these won't be an issue. I'm on my 4th round of clomid 100 mgs, days 3-7 with progesterone supps.

antioxidants, apis melifica, ashwagandha, bee pollen, black cohash, boswellia, bromelain, cayenne, cell salts, evening primrose oil, feverfew, fish oil, flaxseed, ginger root, ledum, lycopdium, MSM, nettle, phytonutrients, pulsatilla, rhus toxicodendron, turmeric, vitamin C, Vitamin E" and staying away from foods that cause inflammation. Sorry the list is so long... I guess since we are all different, we would have to try different things to find what works for each individual.

Thank you so much for the information...... I have an appt tomorrow with my optomologist & I will defintely mention to him about the Acuvue Oasys. And I will up my Omega & Flaxseed oil supplements. I was just taking one a day. Thank you..................................................

Forget blueberry they are not helpful for the eye. As the article says Omega 3 (fish oil, kreel oil. flaxseed oil ) are all helpful for dry eyes. You need to start with artifical tears and as I said a visit to an ophthalmologist. You may need tear duct plugs or restasis.
