My brother is a medical dr and he and his family are not taking omega 3…I need valid proof (not from a regular website) to show him the benefits. I’m sure he knows its good for u but I dont think he understands how important it is….seems like medical drs are trained on what drugs to give u when you are sick but are not really trained on supplements.

We have only got until October to STOP this, please take a moment to watch this and take action to preserve your freedom. Uploaded by trynaturopathy on Sep 5, 2011 SUBSCRIBE www.youtube.com In the early 90′s Congress passed the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act ( DSHEA ) and prohibited the FDA from banning popular nutrients which the agency under another Democrat’s direction was trying to do. Today Obama’s FDA is moving again with stealth to implement burdensome reg’s which would ultimately create too high a threshold for most supplement manufacturers to hurdle. Stop them now! Please contact your Congressman and your Senator.

Fish oil is beneficial to the overall health of an individual because it provides the essential omega 3 fatty acids – EPA and DHA. There are many oily fish rich in omega 3 fats, but the most easily available among them is salmon. Omega 3 salmon oil is a rich source of not only the fatty acids, but also high levels of protein.

If you are looking for salmon oil supplements, make sure you find the ones that are molecularly distilled to clean any impurities and contaminants found in the fish. Farm-raised salmon, in addition to polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), also contains contaminants known as dioxins, which might be harmful for the health.

If you like to eat fish, eating salmon twice a week would be sufficient to fulfill the needs of the body for omega 3 fatty acids. Alternatively, you can also buy omega 3 salmon oil or fish oil capsules easily available on the market. Fish oil supplements can be obtained in the form of capsules or tablets, which makes them easy to consume.

These capsules should be made from pharmaceutical grade fish oil to ensure a pure and standardized product. Sockeye salmon is one of the species of salmon found in the Pacific Ocean. It is known that sockeye salmon found in Alaska is among the purest of all salmon species and the best to make oil supplements from. Sockeye salmon is also known as red salmon. During our research, we have learnt that a fish known as the Hoki fish goes way beyond any fish in terms of pure fish oil and minimal pollution levels.

Omega 3 salmon oil, as already discussed, provides EPA and DHA fatty acids in just the right amounts as needed by the body. 1 serving (3-4 ounces) of salmon is enough to obtain nearly 1.5 grams of omega 3 fatty acids. If you are taking omega 3 salmon oil supplements, then consuming 800-1000 mg daily should be enough. The only problem is much of the salmon available is loaded with harmful metals.

Salmon oil is known to provide long-term health benefits; the most noteworthy among them is the prevention of cardiovascular disease. In addition to this, fish oil also helps to fight against cancer, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis and mental illnesses. In summary, find a fish source that gives the most natural and purest fish oil, even one that goes beyond that of the salmon fish.

If you are not sure about the daily dosage of omega 3 salmon oil, consult a dietitian or a health expert before buying any supplement product. Similarly, pregnant women and people with high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels should ask their doctor before taking supplements containing DHA and EPA fatty acids. Overdose of these substances has harmful side effects associated with it, which could become even more dangerous in the case of the above-mentioned patients.

Though prenatal vitamins are often recommended to support a healthy pregnancy they do not always include omega 3 fatty acids in the range. These quite wonderful unsaturated fats are essential to health and growth, and many use them to fight off conditions which include ADHD in children. If your prenatal vitamins do not include one of the omega 3 variety, and you do not eat much fish in your diet, then consult your doctor about taking omega 3 supplements.

Omega 3

Omega 3 is an unsaturated fatty acid which can have positive health benefits when taken in correct dosage and no pre-existing conditions are apparent. It is anti inflammatory in nature, and is important for brain development.

Omega 3 Fish Oil Intake through Diet.

The best source of omega 3 is through eating oily cold water fish. Some nuts and seeds also contain the fatty acids too. The problem lies in mercury levels contained in many fish species of this kind. Salmon however, is largely considered to be a safe bet.

Supplements

Omega 3 supplements however provide an alternative to eating more fish. To that end there are many supplements that are geared towards providing sufficient intake of omega 3. Before starting a new omega 3 fish oil supplement it is best to seek medical advice. EPA and DHA are two of the fatty acids that make up omega 3. DHA is considered especially important to take during pregnancy, as it is important to brain development. Ensure your supplements contain around 600mg per day of the DHA fatty acid.

Side effects

One side effect of taking omega 3 supplements is that you can often be left with a fishy taste and a tendency to belch. This can be offset through freezing the omega 3 fish oil before they are consumed. This will not affect potency.
