Question 1

which turmeric supplements are the best?  are they ok to take with plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) for uctd?  what about omega 3?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: Reading the label and third party review will give some insights of being good or bad since these products are not regulated but oftentimes highly commercialized; that is the only possible way to discern. As to using the supplements in facing UCTD, I could not sense any potential contraindication except allergy to individual ingredients. In fact, the studies for specific concerns are lacking.

Question 2

hello, i have nutrilite heart health omega-3 supplement, but it says to take 3 softgels per day before meals. can i take all three softgels at once?

Accepted Answer

You Like Fish Burps?: Better to split them up. Better absorbed with food. If you don't eat three meals a day then take two with one meal and one with another. but in this case food will help. Or, take the third with a healthy snack. Taking all three at once won't hurt but you want to get your money's worth, right? Also, if you eat some salmon that day, you can skip the supplement. The "real" thing is always better

Question 3

i remember when i used to take omega-3 supplement (fish oil) i would always get very dizzy and light headed. what in the world was going on?

Accepted Answer

Beats me: That reaction is not a complication of fish oil.

Question 4

should i take omega 3 supplements if i am a vegetarian?

Accepted Answer

Vegetarian Omega 3: There are vegetarian Omega 3 capsules available.  Omega 3 is good for all of us.  More likely, you can become low on B 12.  For that consider using SUBLINGUAL B 12 tablets.  Check w/your doc or a nutritionist.  Peace and good health.

Question 5

i am 30 years old, is it good if i start to take omega 3+squalene daily as daily supplement? thank you

Accepted Answer

NO: It's a waste of your money. Just eat a balanced, nutritious diet and get some exercise each day and you'll be doing yourself a better service. Check this out: http://www.Nhlbi.Nih.Gov/health/public/heart/obesity/lose_wt/calories.Htm.

Question 6

how can i take the omega 3 pills to supplement my diet without the horrible fishy after taste for hours?

Accepted Answer

Refrigerate them: Try refrigerating them and taking them on a full stomach. Also make sure they are not old or past their expiration date.

Question 7

can you take a high strength omega 3 supplement at the same time as you take say 40mg statin in the evening? thank you

Accepted Answer

Yes: There is no interaction between the 2.

Question 8

i cannot understand the difference between omega 3 and 6. i take both 3 and 6 in equal amount supplements and it makes my skin brilliant. ?

Accepted Answer

Both essential yet..: Both omega 3 &amp; 6 fatty acids are essential for health. One does not substitute for the other but many foods contain both. Deficiencies can cause not only dry skin but depression, joint pains, menstrual cramps, poor immune function etc. Deficiency of Omega 3's is more common. See

for more details.

Question 9

what is the best omega 3 fatty acids supplements for toddler?

Accepted Answer

Eat wild salmon: It is far healthier to consume omega-3s from a natural source such as wild salmon than from fish oil or synthetic forms. The question is why are you taking this supplement in the first place?  To reduce cholesterol? Anti-inflammatory? Anti-coagulant? Brain health? Whatever the reason, wild pacific salmon is still preferable. Don't buy into the hype that the pills are nearly as beneficial.

Question 10

can you take calcium supplement with omega-3 supplement at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely yes: It's okay to take calcium and omega-3 fatty acids together.
