Guest guest Posted August 6, 2000 Report Share Posted August 6, 2000 Hi, > Dr.R, > I am doing fine, just wondering How much fish body oils, flax seed > oils, and ZMA to take? I couldn't find it on the site? Thanks, > > Margie :0) Go to: http://clos.net/supplements_after_mgb2.htm Fish Oil/Flax Oil Tablets Recommended Dose: 1-2 tablets 1-3 times a day. Start Slow and build up slowly. Bran Tablets Recommended Dose: 1-2 tablets 1-3 times per day. Start slow and build up. Zinc l-monomethionine zinc/magnesium aspartate (TwinLab ZMA Fuel available at Wal-Mart and GNC Stores) Recommended Dose: 3 capsules for men and 2 capsules for women taken on an empty stomach 30-60 minutes before bedtime. New Supplements After Mini-Gastric Bypass Remember: Supplements are an addition to your diet that may be advantageous in your recovery and in the maintenance of your long-term good health. It is important to note that you do not have to take these supplements. They might be of some help but they are not necessary for your recovery. New Supplements: Fish Oil, Zinc-Magnesium Aspartate and Bran New Supplements to consider: Fish Oil/Flax Oil Tablets Zinc l-monomethionine zinc/magnesium aspartate (TwinLab ZMA Fuel available at Wal-Mart and GNC Stores) Bran Tablets Fish Oil/Flax Oil Tablets Recommended Dose: 1-2 tablets 1-3 times a day. Start Slow and build up slowly. Information: Several studies suggest that not all fats are the same and that indeed some fats be good for you and treat and reverse different types of disease. Recent studies of the so called Mediterranean diet suggest that relatively high amounts fat as olive oil actually improved survival. In another study addition of the omega 3 fatty acids (olive oil) improved the outcome of patients with bipolar (manic depressive) disease. Fish and fish oil, rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids, have sparked intense interest studies, which suggest a favorable effect on Heart Disease and other studies, which show a striking improvement in lipid profiles in hyperlipidemic patients. Patients after gastric bypass malabsorb fat and calories in part leading to the weight loss. One concern is the possible deficiency of essential fatty acids. It may be a good idea to take a fatty acid supplement of fish or flax seed oil. It also may be advantageous to use olive oil when possible. Corn and safflower oils on the other hand may not be good choices. Zinc l-monomethionine zinc/magnesium aspartate (TwinLab ZMA Fuel available at Wal-Mart and GNC Stores) Recommended Dose: 3 capsules for men and 2 capsules for women taken on an empty stomach 30-60 minutes before bedtime. Healing, recovery, tissue repair, and muscle growth are maximized during sleep when growth hormone is released by the pituitary gland. Zinc and magnesium may potentiate this healing effect of growth hormones during sleep. Information: In a recent double-blind placebo study conducted with NCAA college football players, researchers at Western Washington University found that eight weeks of nightly supplementation with ZMA: Increased plasma zinc levels 29%, while placebo levels decreased 4.4%---a 33.5% difference. Increased plasma magnesium levels 6.2% while placebo levels decreased 9.2%--a 15.4% difference. Increased total testosterone levels 32.4% while placebo levels decreased 10.5%--a 42.9% difference. Increased free testosterone levels 33.5% while placebo levels decreased 10.2%--a 43.6% difference. Increased Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-1) levels 3.6% while placebo levels decreased 21.5%--a 25.1% difference. Increased muscle strength 11.6% while placebo strength increased only 4.6%--a 2.5-fold difference. Other reported benefits of ZMA include increased physical endurance, a decrease in muscle cramps and strains, faster healing from injuries, improved mental concentration and alertness, decreased water retention, and deeper, more restful sleep. Bran Tablets Recommended Dose: 1-2 tablets 1-3 times per day. Start slow and build up. Information: Bran has been shown in hundreds of studies to decrease fat absorption, protect the lining of the gut and improve the bowel function. RR Rutledge, M.D., F.A.C.S.
