Benefits Of Fish Oil

Question: Can I drink liquid fish oil with water without ruining the benefits of the fish oil? I drink a teaspoon of a liquid fish oil supplement ever day. I find just swallowing the teaspoon of oil a little foul. I know if I pour it into water it'll just float on the top but i still find it a lot easier to swallow like that because there's so much liquid I barely notice the oil. But would this dilute the effect of the fish oil in any way? Would it still work properly? Thanks!

Answer: Water should be fine. Although when taking omega 3 supplements it is best to take with some fat. So take it after eating som ekind of fatty food. You should switch to a flavored fish oil. I take Carlson's lemon flavored and it tastes just fine. Also 1 time I accidentally bought normal flavored - which is "fish" flavored. I found that eating a couple of grapes after taking the "shot" of fish oil. It helped a lot. I would consider taking another type of omega 3 supplement. Fish oil caplet or krill oil caps. No horrible tastes and all the benefits.

Question: Fish Oil benefits and questions? I know that taking fish oil helps the brain, heart, joints, and overall health, but i read somewhere that taking up to 3 capsules of fish oil a day can help you burn 400 extra calories. Is this true, does taking fish oil make the body burn more calories daily?

Answer: It's not specifically 'fish oil' that helps...it's the fatty acids in it. Omega 3, 6 and 9 are highly beneficial for numerous things, and not in slight. You can get the same benefits from Hemp Seed and Flaxseed. High Oleic oils are also beneficial (sunflower and safflower).

Question: What are the health benefits of fish oil??

Answer: You should also be asking what are the health risks of fish oil. Studies show fish oil may increase the risk of death and arrhythmias in patients with certain heart conditions, and high doses can worsen control of diabetes and can increase bleeding tendency. Stomach upset are a common side effect of fish oil supplements. Diarrhea may also occur, with potentially severe diarrhea at very high doses. There are also reports of increased burping, acid reflux/heartburn/indigestion, abdominal bloating, and abdominal pain. People with low blood pressure or those taking blood-pressure reducing medicines should take care. One of the reported side effects of fish oil is a reduction of blood pressure. The impact on blood pressure appears to be dose dependent. Vitamin E plays a part in metabolizing omega acids so large doses of fish oil place high demands on the body’s vitamin E supply. To avoid this fish oil side effect, vitamin E is added to many commercial fish oil products. As a result, regular use of vitamin E-enriched products may lead to elevated levels of this fat-soluble vitamin. Fish liver oil contains the fat-soluble vitamins A and D, and therefore fish liver oil products (such as cod liver oil) may increase the risk of vitamin A or D toxicity. One side effect of fish oils and their fatty acids is an increase low-density lipoprotein levels (”bad cholesterol”) by 5-10%. This is dependent on the dose used. The oils have also been noted to have an effect on blood glucose levels in people with Type 2 / Adult Onset Diabetes. My advice is not to waste money on unecessary supplements - just enjoy a good oily fish meal once or twice a week.

Question: Can you add fish oil, from fish oil vitamins, to your cat's food for extra nutrition? I have a 20 year old Persian and 2 other cats. I just thought of it the other day and squeezed a little fish oil in their food. I poked one of my capsules and squeezed it into their food and stirred. I thought the extra vitamins and other benefits of fish oil may help with my elderly Persian. The cats seem to love it, but I thought I'd ask anyone with experience if this is a good idea. I've done it twice, but would like to know if it is OK to add to food. I appreciate your help and advice. Thank you!

Answer: It is a good idea, but it would be better to get an oil meant for cats. That's just because the human stuff may contain additional ingredients that cats shouldn't have, or shouldn't get too much of. Here's my general advice on fish oil: Fish oil: Only Natural Pet Icelandic Salmon Oil (pump) (http://www.onlynaturalpet.com/products/Only-Natural-Pet-Pure-Icelandic-Salmon...) Good for hairballs, good for skin and coat. Selection: You typically won't use human fish oils - at least not the ones in liquid form - because they have added citrus flavors to many of them. You don't want to use cod liver oil - at least not on a very regular basis - because it has too much vitamin a. Plain old fish oil or salmon oil is best. I prefer it in liquid form as opposed to capsules for ease of dispensing. You want it to say that they've done everything possible to remove mercury. I prefer one with the fewest additives, especially not rosemary. Or propyllgallate. For ease of use, I prefer to buy it in liquid form in a squeeze bottle or pump. Dosage: I give a squirt every day. It's not measured but probably comes to somewhere around 1/4 tsp.

Question: Is FISH OIL actually the oil from a bunch of compressed fish? And why should anybody take it? I have this huge bottle (400 capsules) of fish oil. I see ads for it all the time on TV. What are the benefits of fish oil, and is it really made from squished up fish?

Answer: It is made of squished up fish. Some fish (deep water I beleive) are high in Omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3s reduce inflamation in the body, and are recommedned as treatment for many conditions. See this report and others at drmirkin.com http://www.drmirkin.com/heart/1129.html

Question: Is it a good idea to take fish oil as a supplement? I am a 19 year old male with good health. I have heard many benefits of fish oil. Is it a good idea to take it as a supplement everyday? What are the side effects? Should I ask my doctor first?

Answer: Fish oil is harmless... as long as it is mercury free. I take it every day... it's no big deal... so no doctor. As for the side effects... apparently Bekham takes fish oil.. and his wife don't like his fishy breathe... lol! I take them at night with a meal. My wife wraps herself up in a flannelet jumpsuit with a zipper in the bottom (like a sleeping bag) .. so I've no reason these days to get close enough for her to complain about my breath!

Question: Benefits of taking fish oil capsuels? I'm thinking about taking them. I've heard there good for the skin and the brain. Does anyone take them daily and what were the results?

Answer: The health benefits of fish oil include its ability to aid in heart diseases, high cholesterol, weight loss, depression, anxiety, AHDH, immunity, cancer, pregnancy, diabetes, inflammation, arthritis, IBD, AIDS, Alzheimer’s disease, eye disorders, macular degeneration, skin care, psoriasis, acne, ulcers, fertility, etc. Most of the these health benefits of fish oil can be attributed to the presence of Omega 3 essential fatty acids such as Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Other useful essential fatty acids include Alpha-linolenic acid or ALA and Gamma-linolenic acid or GLA. I take them twice daily, when I wake up and before I go to bed. The reason for this is that I feel an improvment in brain activity throughout the day and my joints don't give me as many problems.
