Question 3

yes i am 28 years old and i was trying to see does fish oil pills help you gain weight in your buttocks and also eating a lot of starchy food?

Accepted Answer

Likely not: Where you put weight on depends in part on your genetics among other factors.  There is no food that particularly targets an area of the body.  The buttocks are a large muscle group and so doing things to strengthen muscles in that area may add to bulk if that is what you are looking for.

Question 4

will overdosing on fish oil (omega-3) make you gain weight in any way?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Fish oil is fat. Fat contains calories. Caloric intake causes weight gain. So, yes, it's possible. Although not likely from a single overdose. The label on the fish oil bottle should tell you how many calories are in a capsule (or 2 capsules) depending on the recommended dose. There is no evidence to show mega-.

Question 7

what supplements help relieve menopause syptoms i am fatigued  gained weight moody depressed is there something i can take that does not cost a fortune  to help me   i take vit d  fish oil  green tea  muti vit  im tired of being tired 50 years old and do

Accepted Answer

First : First off, symptoms of depressed mood, fatigue and weight gain are not necessarily due to menopause or perimenopause.  I would ask your doctor to check your thyroid functions, as well as vitamin d and carnitine levels. Hypothyroidism, atypical depression or low levels of vitamin d or carnitine could cause symptoms similar to those.
     The root of the black cohosh plant is an herb which may be beneficial for hot flashes, but which should be avoided if there is liver illness. It is suggested that the lignans in flaxseed and flaxseed oil may help night sweats/  to obtain the most benefit from flaxseed oil, it should be cold grinded.  The plant Estrogens in red clover may be helpful with mild menopausal symptoms but may be contraindicated in a woman with either breast or uterine cancer that is estrogen â€” positive. Dhea has been shown in some studies to be helpful with low sex drive and hot flashes but high or chronic doses may impact the risk of developing breast cancer.   Although wild yams are reported to help with post menopausal symptoms and dong quai; a chinese herbal medicine; has been used to enhance female health, the benefits have not yet been born out with clinical studies. 
 Soy is food which can be found in soy nuts, soy sprouts, tofu etc that has been shown in studies to help relieve hot flashes. This may be due to genistein in the soy plants. Vitamin d and calcium are also very important. It you live in wisconsin, you may be getting very little exposure to sunlight this time of year which could impact your vitamin d levels.
       I suggest that you speak with your doctor about your symptoms to determine the cause. I would not start any new supplments without speaking with your health care provider  because of the possibility of interactions with herbals and medications and because of the potential for side effects. 
 Your question was a very good one. Stay well.

Question 8

can vitamin b complex cause acne? what about fish oil? i wanna take a supplement to make me gain weight but i don't want acne risk if ever? help?

Accepted Answer

Supplements and Acne: Hi, neither b complex or fish oil will cause acne. In fact, both of those can actually be beneficial to those suffering from certain types of acne. Having said that, neither of those will lead to weight gain either. Gaining good weight is a result of healthy eating of appropriate nutrients including proteins and "good" fats as well as an appropriate exercise regimen.

Question 9

can theratears supplement cause weight gain ? it has fish oil and omega-3. 30 calories each

Accepted Answer

Theratears: It is highly unlikely that theraters would cause weight gain (or weight loss). If anything, the supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids could help to support overall healthy nutrition as part of a generally healthy lifestyle.
