Indications
Eleven Seas Cod Liver Oil Capsules - It is a rich natural
source of vitamins A and D which help maintain healthy skin, hair,
nails, teeth and bones.
Description
The omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil help to balance the omega-6
fatty acids, which are found mostly in vegetable oils. When these
two groups of fatty acids are out of balance, the body releases
chemicals that promote inflammation. People appear to produce more
of these inflammatory chemicals when experiencing psychological
stress (e.g., academic examinations). With a fatty acid imbalance,
inflammatory response to stress appears to be amplified.
Contraindications
People with heart disease or diabetes should consult their doctor
before taking more than 3g of cod oil a day as there is some
evidence to suggest that the supplement may raise cholesterol
levels and blood sugar levels
Side effects
While those with heart disease and diabetes have often been
reported to benefit from supplementation with fish oil, both
groups should check with their doctor before taking more than 3
grams of fish oil per day for several months. Elevations in blood
sugar and cholesterol levels may occur in some people who take
fish oil.
The increase in blood sugar appears to be related in part to the
amount of fish oil used. Some evidences suggest that adding
vitamin E to fish oil may prevent the fish oil-induced increase in
blood sugar levels. While supplementation with fish oil
consistently lowers triglycerides, the effect of fish oil on LDL
(“bad”) cholesterol varies, and in some people, fish oil
supplementation has been reported to increase LDL levels. People
who took fish oil and who also took 15 grams of pectin per day
were reported to have reductions in LDL cholesterol. This suggests
that pectin may overcome the occasional problem of increased LDL
cholesterol reported in people who supplement with fish oil. The
LDL-cholesterol raising effect of EPA and DHA has also been
reported to be prevented by taking garlic supplements (or
presumably including garlic in the diet) along with EPA and DHA.
Warnings
Exceeding the suggested intake is not recommended. Women who are
pregnant or planning a pregnancy should consult their doctor
before taking vitamin or mineral supplements. Keep out of the
reach of children. Store in a cool dry place.
Dosage
1 capsule daily or as per the physician’s advice.
