Question 1

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.

Question 2

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 3

can omega 3 fish oil cause a positive alcohol urinalysis?  does curcumin cause a positive alcohol urinalysis?

Accepted Answer

No: Neither of these supplements should cause a false positive blood alcohol level.

Question 4

omega 3 fish oil helps in weight loss?

Accepted Answer

Omega3 &amp; weight loss: While omega 3 fish oil may not help weight loss, it can help prevent heart disease and help control eczema, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis. Diet and exercise are the mainstays of healthy weight loss.

Question 5

i just started taking omega 3 fish oil to help lower my triglycerides. i read that it may cause afib. i already have pacs and pvcs. i told the nurse at my doctors i was going to start fish oil. should i continue taking the fish oil?

Accepted Answer

: I haven't recommended discontinuing omega 3 fish oil on the basis of recent studies. . I do recommend highly purified products and no more than combined EPA &amp; DHA of 1000 mgs per day unless you're treating high triglycerides which require higher doses. I believe that omega 3 fish oils contribute to cardiovascular health. If you're overly concerned you could try EPA alone.

Question 6

what would cause deep depression (and sometimes dry eyes) in a woman in her 40s after masturbation? this started happening a few years ago. it feels like something hormonal. sometimes it is hard to orgasm unless omega 3 fish oil is taken. thank you?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide an opinion without additional history, physical examination may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor to see if you may be depressed. Depression is treatable. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!

Question 7

doc wants me to take three 300mg of krill oil daily after my omega 3 test came back. i had been taking 1 krill plus a fish oil daily.  is this unusual?

Accepted Answer

Fish best: No evidence taking capsules help. Recommendation is to eat fish at least twice a week.

Question 8

does fish oil supplements  (oral omega 3 tablets) cause tinnitus or hearing loss?

Accepted Answer

NOT USUALLY: Unless it were highly contaminated with heavy metals such as mercury, or very stale and rancid, under NO circumstances could it cause hearing loss and tinnitus.  Find another explanation.

Question 9

will rubbing omega 3 fish oil on your butt make it bigger? if not, is there any way you can make your butt bigger?

Accepted Answer

Fish oil: If you do that, you might slip off the toilet seat and bang your butt on the floor. If you form a large bruise on your butt it will make it bigger. Other than that, not much chance.

Question 10
