Friends, my past issues about Omega-3 has caused a number of issues. I'll try to answer the most common.
🐟 What medications Omega-3 to buy?
Pay attention to the content of eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) fatty acid, the higher it is, the better. In those preparations, which I accept, in a capsule, at least 500 mg of Omega-3. This is a very good value.
🐟 What dose of Omega-3 can be advised for daily use?
Even a perfectly healthy person in need of receiving a physiological dose of Omega-3 (not less than 300 mg per day) as omega-3 generally not produced in our body.
If you have the disease, the dose determined by the physician. The therapeutic dose is generally at least 1.5 grams per day of both omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA).
Sometimes medications Omega-3 are low-concentration, that to achieve the desired dosage is necessary to drink 5-6 capsules.
Then discard these drugs look better, because there is nothing good in taking excessive fat on the liver and load (remember that Omega-3 - a fish oil).
And, of course, look at the manufacturer. The firm is known, the greater the chance that fat is better.
🐟 Can the doctor advised to drink Omega-3, just looking at my dry elbows?
A good doctor must evaluate the condition of your skin and mucous membranes. And it is very much to be said on the elbows. For instance, black elbows may be a sign of pre-diabetes, and dry, scaly skin especially - a sign of various endocrine disorders, vitamin deficiencies, allergies, etc. Omega-3 enhances skin condition. So fellow doctor.
🐟 There are some Omega-6. It is also necessary to take?
Omega-6 is not necessary to take separate, these fatty acids promote inflammation, while omega-3, on the contrary, suppress inflammation. Omega-6 enough in ordinary food of the average person.
🐟 Is there a difference, taking omega-3 fish oil in the form or in the form of flaxseed oil, chia seeds, etc.
The difference in principle. I recommend fish oil capsules. And it's not that the Omega-3 from fish oil is better absorbed and from vegetable raw materials worse, and is much deeper and thinner at the biochemical level.
Eating capsule with Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil, you get the finished product, which immediately begins to work. And from vegetable oils you get a semi-finished product, which can not reach the end, the desired option as enzymes our body are distributed prioritized, and they are the same for the conversion of omega -6 and omega-3 of the precursors to the desired acids. And, unfortunately, the priority of omega-6, because they can cause permanent damage.
Do not reinvent the wheel, eat what is clearly working well. And, of course, I am waiting for questions.
Your Dr. Pavlov.
