Omega 3 fish oil

[Guest guest]

The first thing our doctor did (psychiatrist conducting research on

PANDAS) was to recommend my son take omega fish oil in the form of the

coromega supplement. She says that he bain needs this fat to function

properly...in otherwords omega 3 is brain food. If your brain has a

glitch in it and you have OCD, TS, etc., you need to nourish it. Plus

there are many, many other proven benefits to omega fats that are

proven and some of these have to do with boosting immune levels. Our

doctor also recommends getting the omegas 3's in diet like the omega

enriched eggs, walnuts, etc. She said to cut down on the bad fats in

your diet because you must have a higher ratio of good to bad fat in

your diet for the omegas 3's to work. She said the bad fats would

squeeze out the good fats.

Hope this helps. I believe taking omega 3's have helped us.

I have heard about this before--omega 3's helping OCD. I know that it

has helped some people because I believe what they say. We tried it and

it did nothing. We tried it for several months, too.

I'm so desperate for help now that I'll try anything again--even if it's

something that didn't work in the past that might work now. Does anyone

think that might be a possibility? (that it might not have worked in the

past but could work now?)

I'm terribly confused about my son's situation because the things that

many people say help, just don't seem to help him at all, which starts

to make me wonder if he really does have OCD. Has anyone gotten a

dianosis of OCD and then failed to get relief from any of the normal

things done to help that (the various supplements and/or the various

drugs)?

Thanks,

- I know what you mean about being desperate and wanting to re-try things

that didn't work before. How about trying a different version of Omega 3? Maybe

the type you were using was of a different potentcy? Maybe you could find out

which particular brand worked for others?

I suppose it's possible another brand would work, however I used one of

the top brands at a local health food store, so I got very discouraged

when it gave no relief.

Okay all, I just ordered some Omega 3 fish oil and B-100 complex. Was

that the right amount? They also had B50's, but it said to take 2 and

only one of the B100's. I hope it's not too much!

Thanks!

Hi Dina,

I am telling you what I take, not giving you advice on what you should

take! I take a multiple vitamin, B-50 complex, fish oil, vitamin e and

coral calcium. I am 46 and some of those vitamins help with

perimenopause too. I also drink soy milk for hot flashes. I have also

taken flax seed oil. Since I have been taking all those vitamins

everyday, I feel better, have more energy and laugh more. I also get

plenty of sleep, and exercise. I don't know if it will work for you,

all I know for sure is I feel great! The article also said higher

doses were needed for mental health issues. So the B-100 complex

should be fine. The body eliminates what isn't used.

I give Bre(14) a multiple vit, B-50 complex, and fish oil. She is also

on luvox and buspar. She is doing great! Because of her age she has

moodiness, but she doesn't get as intense with her moods anymore.

Always check with your doctor if you have questions. Though there are

some doctors that say just to take a multi vit.!

I also make sure Bre gets lots of sleep, eats healthy, and exercises.

It is a tall order, but when her health is balanced she does better

mentally. Good luck!

Hi All!

Adrien did a great job of summarizing what has worked for my son

regarding the use of omega 3 fatty acids in the form of fish oil and

some of the info I shared with her about it. I'm so glad you and

your family are benefitting from the supplements, Adrien!

The key thing to keep in mind regarding use of fish oil is to look

for a brand that has a high EPA to DHA ratio (ideally should be in

the ratio of 7:1). The smaller the fish the better as far as

potential contamination, the anchovies and sardines are preferable to

other fish oils. Most companies do use purification techniques but

they can vary, so read labels and do your research.

Therapeutic dosage is up to 6 or more grams per day, 1000mg=1gram.

Some brands would require 12 or more capsules a day to get the

recommended dose, so read the labels. My family currently uses Omega

3 Mood (each capsule is 1gram with a high EPA to DHA ratio). Also,

when preganant or nursing, it is preferable to increase the amount of

DHA. There are even some infant formulas now that add DHA- very

important for brain development. The benefits of breastfeeding in

this regard are significant,if and only if, the Mom has ample ongoing

supplies of the omega 3 fatty acids (EFA's) which are ESSENTIAL,

meaning that our bodies do not make them so we have to get them

through our diet.

The omega 3 fatty acids also require adequate supplies of vitamins

B3, B6, and C along with the minerals magnesium and zinc in the body

to do their job most efficiently. The B vitamins are beneficial and

my son takes a B-100 vitamin with his fish oil capsules each

morning. He also takes 5-HTP and calcium, magnesium, and zinc

supplements each night before bed. He would not currently meet the

criteria for OCD and has been sub-clinical for over 3 years now. He

says he doesn't have OCD anymore!

Regarding inositol, it is important to take a B-complex vitamin if

you are taking inositol. You would not want to have too much of one

kind of B vitamin which could lead to deficiencies in the other B

vitamins with accompanying deficiency symptoms.

One last thing, if you live in a very warm climate and spend a lot of

time outdoors in the sun, you may need to decrease your fish oil

consumption so as not to develop vitamin A toxicity. Vitamin A is

fat soluble and as such can build up in the system. As a result,

some people take the fish oils in the winter months and flaxseed oil

or another source of EFA's in the summer.

Hi --thanks for the info!

A couple of questions for you.....there isn't enough magnesium, calcium

and zinc in a daily multivitamin? Also, does he take all the fish oil

together in the morning (I would be taking 6 capsules according to the

amounts you gave, looking at my bottle) or do you spread them out with

meals?

Hi in MA, a question -

Where you wrote:

Where does vit A fit in with fish oil?? Is it in/part of fish oil? I

think I've read there's a lot in cod liver oil, but am wondering about

the fish oil?

Hi Dina,

According to my osteopath, there is not enough magnesium and calcium. I'm

not sure about zinc.

We only take 1 capsule a day. But I was just reading our bottle, and I

should be taking 2. Ours must be more concentrated. But all this

conversation makes me realize I need to look into it more. Although I'm

pretty sure the homeopath just said 1 for the kids. But I need to look it

up again. With 4 of us, and things changing all the time, sometimes I get

confused!

Hi dina,

To answer your question, most multivitamins do not contain enough

calcium, magnesium or zinc. My son, though, does not take a

multivitamin along with his other supplements. My daughter (9 years

old) does take a multivitamin but it does not contain calcium nor

enough zinc so we supplement with a daily calcium, magnesium, zinc

capsule.

As far as the fish oil, my son only takes 2 grams a day so, yes, he

does take the 2 capsules all at once. He has benefitted from this

amount so we have not seen a need to increase it. If you need to take

more, I would suggest taking 2 capsules with each meal.

Hi

You're right, I wasn't clear when I wrote that and I apologize.

Cod liver oil (a good source of omega 3 fatty acids, EFA's) is

extracted from cod liver and is an excellent source of vitamins A and

D but can raise vitamin A levels. Fish oils are extracted from the

tissues of fatty fish (sardines, anchovies, salmon) and as good

sources of EPA and DHA, should not be of concern regarding vitamin A

toxicity. If you were to try to obtain therapeutic amounts of EPA and

DHA from cod liver oil, though, you would probably exceed the

recommended daily intake of vitamins A and D which could lead to Vit

A toxicity.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention I hope I didn't cause

too much confusion.
