Omega 3 and flaxseed oil
Common Questions and Answers about Omega 3 and flaxseed oil
omega-3
My husband has severe dry eyes, and has started taking omega 3 and flax seed oil. It is working very well, but his dose (after gradual increase to a point of benefit) is more than recommended. Can he overdose on 3 times the normal dose of purified omega 3 fish oil..the brand he takes is Health from the Sea PFO pure fish oil liquid. He takes twice the dose of the flax seed oil (same brand name).
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..
I use a stabalized ground flax seed product to provide about 2/3 of my daily Omega-3 and a high quality fish oil capsule for the final third. The flax adds a pleasant nutty flavor to the small portion of yogurt I mix it with.
I use products with (if I remember right) a 6:1 ratio of Omega-3:Omega-6. I get plenty of O-sixes from my diet (they are easy for most of us) but don't eat nearly enough foods rich in O-threes to keep a good ratio going.
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.
I wonder if this is a PATM symptom or just me.
Whenever I put one full tablespoon of Omega-3 oil (in this case flaxseed oil but it doesn't matter if it is plant-based or animal-based) into my lunch about 2-3 hours later I kinda fall into a coma/unresistable fatigue and when waking up I have this feeling of being doomed and can't stand anybody although normally I'm a very relaxed kind person.
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???
Hello and thanks for this service! Is it more beneficial to take an "omega 3 EPA & DHA fish oil supplement" or an "omega 3, 6 &9 EPA & DHA fish oil supplement"? I'm a bit confused as to which would be of the optimum benefit to purchase. Thanks for your time and expertise!
He advised that walnuts and flaxseed are an excellent source and contain more omega 3 than eating fish (unless you eat fish daily). All you need is a 1/4 cup of each every other day. He told me the less you take during pregnancy the better. I also have to supplement Calcium as I am lactose intolerant. Suggested that I am better off to find foods that carry the same vitamins as your body absorbs them better. Much cheaper than taking a supplement.
Hello
I recently got diagnosed with MS. I am currently taking Copaxone daily injections. I'm also taking a multivitamin and Vit D (2000 IU) supplement as instructed by my neurologist. I was wondering if taking fish oil omega 3 supplements would also be good for my health. I've heard great things about fish oil vitamins. I haven't talked to my doctor about this yet, but I will next week. I just wanted to hear other people's opinions on fish oil and MS.
* oily fish, like mackerel, herring, sardines, anchovies, salmon, and pilchards
* Omega 3 fish oil supplements
* fresh or frozen tuna
Omega-3 supplements are available but check to make sure that your supplements are not made from fish livers. The liver can contain high amounts of retinol vitamin A, which has been linked to birth defects. Omega-3 supplements not derived from fish livers but rather from the body of the fish are less likely to contain this type of vitamin A.
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.
Spirulina isn't a supplement, it's food. If you don't take enough, don't take it at all, you're wasting money. What you're doing is like eating one bite of broccoli. Spirulina is a vegetable that happens to be very high in nutritional value, so if you don't take enough, you aren't "eating" it at all. Fish oil is similar, if you don't take enough, you aren't "eating" it.
