Question 3

can i take garcinia cambrogia with fish oil pills & a high potency multivitamin which contains green tea. any ingredients it shouldn't mix with?

Accepted Answer

Garcinia cambogia: These supplements would be compatible, but be careful with any "high potency" multivitamins.  Make sure they are all natural ingredients.  You can tell by the constituents in them.  For info on selecting safe vitamins, try: http://tinyurl.Com/lr24xpd  and  http://tinyurl.Com/l7pd3xn.

Question 4

at age 67 i now take 2 gm surbex omega- 3 fish oil in divided doses with water, tea or coffee. is there anything else, please, that i should know? tq

Accepted Answer

Yes: You should also know that you are wasting your money. Two large studies found no significant cardiovascular benefit from fish oil.

Question 5

on prozac&vyvanse and want to know if i can take supp evening primrose ginkgo biloba fish oil acidophilus l-arginine ginseng damiana gotu kola gre tea?

Accepted Answer

Why????: None of the things you mention are of the slightest benefit for anything. They are sold by com men to suckers in order to cheat them out of their money. If you want a placebo I suggest a roll of Necco wafers. Some are worse than others. Put them all in a bag and take them to show your DR.

Question 6

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 7

i have been taking fish oil, magnesium,b12,and iron pills together will they cause by bowel movement to change like dark green or black looking?

Accepted Answer

It's the iron: It will turn your stools black or dark green.

Question 8

how long to use fish oil?

Accepted Answer

Fish Oil: Studies have shown that  moderate consumption of fish oil can reduce heart disease risk.  This is less than 250 mg/day.  Consuming more than that, may not offer additional value.

Question 9

what does fish oil pills do?

Accepted Answer

Fish Oil: Fish oil supplies essential omega-3 fats that our bodies cannot make on their own.  Among their many effects, they can lower triglycerides, prevent heart disease,  help reduce high blood pressure, and reduce inflammation in the body.  Fish oil helps ward off depression too.  In general, most people need at least 1-2 grams of epa and 500mg dha per day in a fish oil preparation.

Question 10

can fish oil improve my vision?

Accepted Answer

Don't Know: Omega 3 fatty acids are suspected to improve patients with macular degeneration.  This has yet to be proven, but a study is underway to determine this exact question. 

Look for data from the "areds 2" study due to come out in the 1-2 years.

The short answer is that nothing has been proven.
