Zinc and flex seed: You may take it either together or one after the other.

Question 4

is taking 1g of fish oil omega-3 similar to taking 1g of chia seed's omega-3 as both are called omega-3 ?

Accepted Answer

Uncertain: I googled chia seed's fish oil and discovered that there are many formulations so i can't really answer your question. What you really want is about 900 mg of dha (a type of fish oil) so i advise you carefully read the label. The problem is that many herbal supplements really don't tell you what you're getting. You should also be aware that fish oil is not proven to be beneficial.

Question 5

is it ok to take amlodipine besylate 2.5 mg daily together with flax seeds and chia seeds ? (1 tsp of each daily) thanks for your answer ?

Accepted Answer

: Best consult with your PCP. These seeds help reduce inflammation  and autoimmune diseases and cancers. Why not take them.

Question 6

i've been taking chia seeds for the past 3 months.  about 2 tbs 2x per day.  is it too much fiber, protein, etc. to also take flax or hemp powder?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Most americans do notget enough omega 3 & too much of omega 6.  They should be in a one to one ratio.  Chia seeds, flax seeds can offer high doses of omega 3 which help with inflammation and well being.  The most common side effect if you get to much would be gastric distress, diarrhea.  Hemp is gluten which for many people causes problems so chia and flax are good omega 3 and plant protein.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Up to you.: You can but it isn't necessary.

Question 8

Supplements: If you are asking if flax seed, fish oil and calcium are going to help you lose weight....Sorry. You need to eat properly and exercise to lose weight, there's no supplement magic.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Curcumin and flax: I take both myself. Check with your doc that manages your inr. They can thin your blood somewhat, and your managing doc needs to say ok.

Question 10

is safe to take in combination: zinc, calcium complex, vitamin c, flax seed oil and whey protein?

Accepted Answer

Those supplements: in combination are not a problem.  Perhaps a more important question would be why do you take them all?  If you have health concerns please see your doc or a nutritional consultant.  Split vitamin C up into a.m. and p.m. doses because it only lasts about 12 hours in body.  Peace and good health.
