There is enormous confusion between plant based and animal based omega-3 fats.

Or is the omega 3 acids from supplements intended for those who never eat fish?

I just took the vitamin 10 minutes ago and I feel like going out to eat fish with my husband. Can I?

Ok I heard that omega 3 fatty acid pills can make you healthier to be able to conceive but I was also going to take birth control to regulate my period. We’re not trying to conceive again yet but the first time it didn’t happen so I figured this was the problem. So my question is can you take the fatty acid pills while taking birth control.

conceive? I know its good to start prenatal but i wasn’t sure about the dha omega 3

I read that it is recommended to have fish 3 times per week. But I am already taking Omega-3 fish oil capsules. So is there any further benefit to eating fish?

Like is there some magical component in the fish that I am not getting from the capsules?

Thank you.

I hate fish. Is there any way to cook it so it doesn’t taste so, well, “fishy”? Are there alternative sources of Omega 3?

I’d be interested to know if anyone has been taking fish oil supplements while pregnant? Or anyone on here that did take them during past pregnancy?

I’ve read that omega-3 is really good for a babies brain development, especially during the 3rd trimester. Fish oil capsules are a great source of this, and so is fish but doctors ask you not to eat too much fish. I googled the fish oil caps and found a lot of similar information, along w/ blogs where pregnant women had said their doctor recommended the fish oil during pregnancy.

I called my doctor and was kind of suprised w/ her response after what I had read online. She said generally fish oil capsules are not recommended for pregnant women as they are a class “C” medicine, which basically means there haven’t been sufficient studies showing the benefits out weigh the risks. However, there have also been no studies that show any negative effects on a human or animal fetus from use of such a supplement.

I can imagine that some opinions may be that mercury is the issue w/ the capsules, but this is not the case. The supplements I have contain no mercury, and that is not a factor in why my doctor “generally doesn’t recommend them.”

So… opinions and/or experience ladies? Thanks!!

I’m not sure I’m taking the right amount of Fish Oil Capsules (for Omega-3 fatty acids). I am taking 3000 mg a day, plus I try to get some in my diet. I dont know what a ‘toxic’ level would be, or if it is possible to harm yourself with too much omega-3. Please let me know if you have this information!

I seem to feel an increase in my cognitive function 2 days after i drink ensure. Ensure contains Choline, Omega-3. I think choline might be responsible for my boost in cognitive functions. I’ve always felt brain slow for my age. I’m 21. I think I might be deficient in these nutrients.

Today is my first day taking the omega 3 caplets. I am wondering how soon I will start to feel the benefits of it. Please answer.
Thanks.
