Omega 3s: Health Benefits & Anxiety Relief

[Gloria123]

I have also heard that high doses of Omega 3s can have almost a medicinal effect on reducing anxiety (per my doctor). I take them (DHA/EPA) but not that high of a dose (I take 1000 mg), but think I will start. The Omega 3s are so good for you in general. They reduce inflammation in your body, which in turn reduces your chances of getting cancer. They are also incredibly good for your heart. If you're pregnant, they prevent birth defects, as well as our excellent for your baby's vision. I made sure my kids still get DHA supplements.Thanks for sharing Martin. I think I will likely increase my dose.Mitra

Mitra,I have been taking Omega's for a about 6 months now, and I have noticed a decrease in my anxiety and 'achiness'. Omega's are beneficially powerful from head to toe, and as you said, very anti-inflammatory. I would def recommend incorporating omega's into anyone's diet. ) Carmen

I take this apparently it's good for the brain and nervous system

Unfortunately the only one's I got so far (in Pregnancy they are given to moms-to-be) made my stomach sick and made me belch.....and then I got that terrible fish taste because there was fish oil in them Do you get them without fish taste?

Yes I agree some of them taste of fish, I know exactly what you mean. I might be right in saying flaxseed contains just much of the magic ingredient as fish/mackerel. In the UK it's produced by Linwoods and can be bought at health food shops. I am not entirely sure but I think flaxseed is Linseed ground up! Why they don't just call it that I am not sure. Another good source of omega is starflower but you would have to check all this out for yourself. One thing I can say for sure it won't taste of fish!! )I answer to you question you can get Omega supplement capsules without fish. My friend is a vegan, I will ask him what he takes, I know he takes omega without any animal product

My friend takes flaxseed oil capsules. You mentioned you live in Germany so I guess it will be available there also. Here is a link if you wish to buy the product over the internet.

LOL, I just googled flaxseed and was surprised as i use this a lot in my kitchen . Never knew it was so healthy, I just like the taste in some foods. It tastes rather good if you don't overdo it (if you take to much, it will taste like oil paint..)

 

[LaurentHCH]

what dosage should we be taking of the Omega's? And is Udo's Oil a combo of all of them so that you could just take that, and what dosage?Tanya

 

[HoneybeeBzzz]

Yep!! but it's not my priority!! But everyone to their own. The ozone can go and suck too coz I like the internal combustion engine!!! )I am playing the devil's advocate here; I just got to the point where I was sick of thinking... literally!! I am working hard on not caring to much

well crap! i live in the desert and i can't change that, haha.... i agree though..you do the best and forget the rest, we live in an imperfect world.....

 

[RainCat]

The company NOW makes a 3-6-9 with fish oil OR one that I prefer..... with absolutely NO fish oil. All of the omega 3s in that formula come from plants.

good doc! having seen to much of suffering as the consequence of fishing i can't believe this *beep* ignorance and stupidity from someone with a peacepigeon in his profile. but environmental ignorance seems to be quite common and i am afraid to say very american. but that's another topic.
