omega-3

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 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.
4274823 tn?1388529098 Thanks for the list. I avoid soy and flax due to a health issue. I do eat pumpkin seeds and walnuts as well as plenty of vegetables and fruit. Interesting about papaya. Ideally I would like to get it from food rather than have to purchase an expensive supplement that I don't feel 100% comfortable with.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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).
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 What brand of Omega 3's are you using? I have been taking just the Kroger brand Omega 3's with fish oil concentrate. Should I maybe look at the health food store for some that are especially for pregnancy? Thanks!
550622 tn?1247656720 The Optomistrist has me on 3 different eye drops and an Omega-3 Capsule. The red in my eye is starting to clear up. Is the really a chronic issue or does it get better?
Avatar n tn Why shouldnt omega 3 oil from say flaxseed or hemp oil be put directly into the eyes for dry eyes? I have tried it and now my eyes are blurry is there any danger? Also does honey pose any risk when put in the eys?
Avatar f tn 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!
Avatar m tn Fish oil pills are an excellent way to raise your HDL and lower LDL due to the high content of the Omege 3 fatty acids that they contain. Anything that has a high Omega 3 content will have this effect, such as flax seed. Most commercial eggs are commonly high in Omega 6 fatty acids due to the fact that they are raised in cages and eat the seeds of plants that have a high Omega 6 content. Omega 6 fatty acids have the effect of raising LDL levels in the blood.
Avatar f tn Recent eye exam revealed moderately dry eyes (I have been having a lot of discomfort) so I have been trying out different drops. But I have also tried adding omega 3 supplement. I first tried Ocuvite 50 plus which doesn't seem to have enough omegas to make any difference. I then tried Thera tears nutrition which has large amounts and actually made a difference! .....Bad news... It also makes me itchy and gives me diarrhea! Now what?
1192727 tn?1282735542 What about flaxseed oil as omega-3 fatty acid supplement? Is it better than fish oil? Or does it have the EPA prob?
612551 tn?1450022175 Hi Jerry. There are some benefits of flaxseed, as the oils are similar to fish oils but without the smell. However, there is a higher ratio of omega-6 to omega-3, which isn't too good. It's a complicated process, but effectively dogs find it hard to convert alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) to the more active non-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, so although some omega-6 is okay (in fact, some say it's essential), it's the ratio between omega-3 and omega-6 that's important.
1670226 tn?1334252274 Evening primrose oil is good and you shouldn't stop taking it, but it's not an Omega-3. Omega-3's fight inflammation in your body. Plus, my optometrist said my eyes had "an oil problem," as in not enough. I alternate taking (1) 1200mg capsule of fish oil daily and (1) 1000mg capsule of flaxseed oil daily. That's just a personal preference. Also, when my eyes were really bad, I took one of each for 4 or 5 days.
Avatar m tn Quite a complex topic this but at the same time an interesting one. Omega 3 isn't just one substance, Omega three are fatty acids just like Omega 6 fatty acids found in oils and meat etc. Omega 3 are EPA, DHA, and ALA . Some experts have said that the balance between Omega 6 fatty acids and Omega 3 is key, but just as many say this is nonsense. Omega 3 do have benefits, mainly reducing inflammation in the body, such as in the arteries or joints.
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 chew golden roasted flaxseed for my omega 3 and fiber. (it has to be chewed to be useful). I eat a banana, apple and an orange a day. I track these on my fitness pal and usually I get all the vitamins I need. I drink almond milk for my calcium. Vitamins esp (ADEC) as well as calcium are better absorbed in a food state. Calcium citrate is more bioavailable then calcium bicarbonate.
Avatar m tn The best sources of fats are olive oil, canola oil, flaxseed oil, corn oil, omega 3 fatty acids (often taken as supplements), soybean oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, corn oil, and salmon, trout, and all cold water fish are great sources. Nuts and seed contain excellent sourses of the good fats just be sure with portion size.
1129232 tn?1360800358 All are excellent for the nourishing of your lining and are fine for fetus. In fact, flaxseed like your pre-natal omega oils help develop eye tissue as well as neural and brain tissues. These oils are MOST important in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy and should already be in the mother's system before conception to best be transferred. Make sure they are high quality vitamins and GOOD LUCK!
Avatar n tn To be effective, omega oil supplements usually have to be taken in distilled form (meaning gelcaps, not flaxseed). They are absorbed better if taken with a fatty meal.
Avatar n tn At a semenar I attended once they talked about eczema. Or bodies don't produce the essential acids our skin needs so we must get it through our diet. Try an omega 3 supplement or flaxseed oil. Also, I've heard that the sun and tanning bed will help clear up severe cases. Then you have to worry about wrinkles and skin cancer though.
9214378 tn?1408881584 Egg yolks contain about three times the amount of omega-6 to omega-3, so I have always said if you are going to give eggs, give three egg whites to one egg yolk, so the balance becomes stable and beneficial. Egg whites have (obviously) far more omega-3, but they are also high in cholesterol, so feeding too much is not good for a dog's heart or cirulatory system. A much better source of omega-3 is salmon oil, as this has many beneficial properties and is easy to digest.
Avatar n tn Is the only problem with flax seed that it goes rancid quickly or is there any other reason to avoid it. Is the problem only on treatment? If I'm not being treated and my liver is in bad shape is this a problem? I grind flax seeds and sprinkle in food for the omega 3 and never before heard that this could be a problem...now I'm getting nervous. I just did a quick search and didn't see anything. Thanks.
