Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / February 2008Taking too much Fish Oil?
I'm just wondering if this is possible. The bottle I just bought contains caps with 400MG EPA, 300MG DPA and a total of 750 in EACH cap. They recommend two in the morning and two at night. That sounded like a bit much... Is that the average dose? and can one take too much of the stuff? Thanks - JayDee Go ahead and take it and watch your body deteriorate - for many people, this is the only way they learn the truth.

How about some sources indicating -conclusive- evedence that the consumption of ESSENTIAL fatty acids has a PURELY adverse and pontentially detremental effect on the body. So for starters, the US Library of Medicine hosts a site called www.pubmed.com (That I'm sure you know of) and I'm pretty confident that you won't find a single article of the hundreds that indicates that taking fish oil can deteriorate your body. Go ahead... I only looked at a few, but let's see if you can prove me wrong. Now I'm not saying you won't find one that states that fish oil proved ineffective in a particular study, because of course it doesn't do everything, but I'm 100% sure that you won't find one that recommends against eating fish. So... put some weight behind your claim with ligetamate peer reviewed studies recommending against the consumption of fish due to the dangerous effects of the essential oils.

I think that one cap per day should be enough if you are also eating fish a couple times a week. Because of the high cost of fish oil, you might want to supplement in addition with the ALA form of omega 3 fatty acids as in flax seeds, chia seeds, and walnuts/walnut oil. -- Ron > > I'm just wondering if this is possible.

Don't worry about the calories, when you hit the wasting disorder, leaky gut and IBS in about 2 years on high Omega-3s you won't be gaining weight anymore ... (look at the fish-eating nations like Japan, they are all slim!) Taka > I think that one cap per day should be enough if you are also eating > fish a couple times a week.

Not really. > I think that one cap per day should be enough if you are also eating > fish a couple times a week. Depends on his personal health concerns. I take a combintation that produces 2400 mg/day of EPA+DHA and take an addition gram of krill oil which has additional EPA/DHA. > Because of the high cost of fish oil, you might want to supplement in > addition with the ALA form of omega 3 fatty acids as in flax seeds, > chia seeds, and walnuts/walnut oil. Depends on personal resources as the the importance of cost. I personally would take flax seeds and/or flax oil anytime in the near future. The downside potential on prostate health and other concerns are too great. Don't know about chia seeds but walnuts are healthy. > -- > Ron SignaturePramesh Rutaji p297tongue6221@newsguy.com - remove tongue to reply > - JayDee Stop buying bottlers.

A lot of fish are farmed nowadays and bring with them a different and larger load of toxins and and different body composition in fatty acids etc. I go with both, quality fish oil and weekly fish consumption with "wild caught" being the preferred choice.

In addition, if you buy the refined fish oil, the contaminants are reduced even further. -- Ron |
