Seek out the products that are " pharmaceutical " quality. I personally proved the value of this. May cost a little more but you get what you pay for. Your health is worth it.

Omega-3 fatty acids are only naturally found in flax seed oil and fish oil from fish with red coloured flesh. Like salmon for instance. Omega-3 fatty acids are required by the brain to function at peak efficiency. They also reduce bad cholesterol levels. There are also Omega-6 fatty acids also commonly found in beef, pork, chicken and fried foods. O6 acids are not good for the body in large quantities and lead to heart attacks and blood clots.\n\n I take a gram of O3 acid at dinner every day. I find it helps to order thoughts and seems to be a mood stablizer, for me at least. If you go for a fish based source be warned that not all fish oils contain significant amounts of Omega-3 acids. I use the Organika brand of wild harvested Pacific salmon oil. It contains a garenteed amount of the O-3 acids EPA and DHA in eack softgel tab. Stay away from the " Natural Factors " brand of fish oil as from my experience it does not contain any EPA and DHA and did nothing for me. As a warning do not take more than a gram or 2 of O-3 oil per day. Too much oil thins the blood and puts an additional strain on the heart as it works harder to pump the thinner blood. Not good if you have a heart condition of any sort.\n\nAs for why O-3 acids are named the way they are that would have been up to their discoverer. Try searching the web for that person and you may find the answer to the 2nd part of your question.

Yeah....the FDA are idiots.  The only thing you need to do to understand the tremendous benefits of taking fish oil is to pull a cholesterol panel.  Have your cholesterol done.  Start taking fish oil. A month later, have your cholesterol panel done again.  Notice the dramatic rise in your HDL cholesterol?\n\nBut, if you don't believe what is in front of your face, fish oil is a well researched supplement in the peer reviewed medical literature.  Very few doctors know that because very few bother to look.  Duh.

It would be best for you to ingest the Dha rich cod liver oil, and continue breast feeding. Nothing could be more important to the health of your baby than to receive breast milk until its birth weight is tripled. This is the way of all mammals. Infant formulas with Soy and Dairy are so incredibly toxic, that you might not want to find out what would happen if you make that change. Colic symptoms are only the beginning of a lifetime of immunosuppression, and related maladies.  Breast Milk is very high in DHA, and if you don't replenish while feeding, your brain will suffer....as will other organ systems, e.g. joints, skin, etc.

Possibly include more fish in your diet. Fish contains omega-3 oils which have been shown to improve mental function and can reduce some symptoms of depression, in young people in one study at least. There may also be benefits in adults.

Fish. especially salmon, mackeral and the such (rich in Omega oils) Better than this would be to take an Omega 3 supplement 2-3 times a day. Go to a health food store and ask about it, apparently after being on for 3 months you would have decreased chances of sudden heart attack or stroke by 50%.

I would prefer to take a simple fish oil pill if you want the benefits of fish oil omega 3's.\nYou do not need the addition of creotin.

Whole, natural foods are much better than a manufactured and processed suppliment. It usually is more soluable and in its natural form. While flaxseed oil is a good source of omega3 fatty acids an easier way to get it into your diet is to consume fish (prefably cold water fish).\n\nCheck with your doctor before taking any advice of people you don't know on a website.

I think oily fish helps, as does white meat and most vegetables! Try stir - frying some pork with bok choi, mange tout and baby sweetcorn, with a little chilli sauce, soy sauce and soba (buckwheat) noodles. Nummy AND BrainFood!!

on the contrary, fish is very good for you. It's an excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids, that help with mood. The other lipids in fish are mostly unsaturated & so are much better for you than those found in meat or poultry. Also, fish contain a lot of vitamins & minerals like Vitamins D & E, and phosphorus & iodine that are needed.\n\nThe only danger is high mercury levels in larger, predatory fish like tuna, that eat a lot of little fish & then end up with much mercury in them. So it's healthier to eat canned tuna (made of smaller tuna fish & therefore less mercury) than tuna steaks.\n\nMahi Mahi have a common problem with histamene. So, make sure to buy fresh mahi mahi that has not been heat abused. Also, fish have a high bacterial load so one must cook it thoroughly.

Yes, fish contains Omega-3 which is very good for you. I have always heard Salmon is the best though. I think it is higher in Omega-3.

It is said to reduce blood cholesterol. I have started using it. Gram for gram all oils have the same number of calories which is 9. \nHow some oils are better than the others depends on their effect on your cholesterol. I use a combination of oils yo achieve the best results. \nFor an egg, fish or any other fry I would use Olive oil (Pomace). For other dishes I use Peanut, Sesame, Rice bran or Saffola/Sunflower oils. I do not use a mixture of these oils for a particular recipe, but use a different oil for each dish. This way my family benefits from the various nutrients present in different oils. The best oils though would be Olive, Canola followed by Peanut, Sesame, Rice Bran.....for lowering Cholesterol.

I would say you should try COD LIVER oil that is molecularly distilled and see if you have a reaction.  If it is fine for you then try www.icelandichealth.com\n\nYou are right that it is very important since we are not eating wild and grass fed animals that our bodies developed on and need.
