tn1_29389.jpg


The main source of Omega 3 rich foods are fish, but most fish is tainted by Mercury and other toxins. A good-quality fish oil, such as Nordic Naturals can provide omega 3 fatty acids, untainted by mercury and other dangerous toxins. Omega 3 fish oil is considered to be the miracle oil of this century. The benefits of Omega 3 fatty acids cannot be overstressed. The modern diet is severely lacking adequate amounts of omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3 has several potential health benefits. It is heart healthy and studies show that good quality omega 3 fish oil will help to control cholesterol levels, optimize blood pressure and thereby prevent heart disease. Omega 3 fatty acids are also recommended for inflammation, immune function, cancer, during pregnancy and nursing, healthy skin and hair, weight management, sports performance, autism, circulation, triglyceride levels, depression, eyes, back, neck and joints, brain function and stress management.

Fish oil itself is not known to assist with fructose malabsorption directly, although it is suspected to assist with irritable bowel syndrome. If you have IBS, you may need more omega-3 fatty acids in your diet such as those that come from fish oil. Quite paradoxically however, supplementing with fish oil can cause side effects in your digestive system that are very similar to IBS such as flatulence, belching, bloating, heartburn, diarrhea and abdominal pain. These side effects are most likely dose-dependent. If you experience these side effects while taking fish oil simply take less of the supplement. It is also advised to take fish oil with meals to minimize digestive side effects. Start with a small dose and gradually increase to a larger dose. This will also lesson the chance of digestive side effects.

*Increased intake of omega 3 fatty acids may raise resting blood sugar in diabetics and reduce blood clotting. Diabetics and those taking a blood thinner should only take omega 3 supplements under the supervision of a doctor.

*Consult with your pediatrician before supplementing with fish oil while pregnant or nursing.

*Always choose fish oil supplements from reputable manufacturers. Check the box and label to ensure that the oil has been purified and evaluated for toxins. Nordic Naturals is reputable and the fish oil has been purified and evaluated for toxins.

Con's

Be sure not to take too much, especially at first to prevent possible digestion upsets from the oil itself. Fish oil sometimes negatively impacts your digestive system by causing gas or diarrhea, particularly if you take too much at once or consume it between, rather than with, meals.

Be sure to check with your doctor if necessary. Increased intake of omega 3 fatty acids may raise resting blood sugar in diabetics and reduce blood clotting. Diabetics and those taking a blood thinner should only take omega 3 supplements under the supervision of a doctor.

Consult with your pediatrician before supplementing with fish oil while nursing or while pregnant.
