Visolie + hoge EPA (hoeveel EPA per dag)?

[Melanie]

Who is likely to be deficient?
So-called “primitive” diets have much higher levels of EPA and DHA than modern diets. As a result, some researchers and doctors believe that most people who eat a typical western diet are likely to be consuming less-than-optimal amounts of EPA and DHA. To a very limited extent, omega-3 fatty acids from vegetable sources, such as flaxseed oil, can convert to EPA.

At least four studies have reported a reduced blood level of omega-3 fatty acids in people with depression.18 19 20 21

People with rheumatoid arthritis have been found to have decreased levels of omega-3 fatty acids, such as are found in fish oil, in their joint fluid and blood.22

How much is usually taken?
Presumably, healthy people who frequently eat fatty fish (several times per week) have no need to supplement with fish oil. How much EPA and DHA, if any, should be supplemented by healthy people who do not eat much fatty fish, remains unclear.

Most researchers studying the effects of EPA and DHA in humans who have a variety of health conditions have given those people at least 3 grams of the total of EPA plus DHA—an amount that may require 10 grams of fish oil, because most fish oil contains only 18% EPA and 12% DHA.

The health benefits for people with Crohn’s disease have been reported with a special, enteric-coated preparation of purified EPA/DHA manufactured from fish oil. This preparation of purified fatty acids has also been reported to not cause the gastrointestinal symptoms that often result from taking regular fish oil supplements, again suggesting unique benefit.23

In one trial, the maximum amount of fish oil tolerated by people being treated for cancer-related weight loss was reported to be approximately 21 grams per day.24 However, in people who do not have cancer, the maximum tolerated amount may be different.

Are there any side effects or interactions?
While those with heart disease and diabetes have often been reported to benefit from supplementation with fish oil,25 26 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.27

The increase in blood sugar appears to be related in part to the amount of fish oil used.28 Some evidence suggests that adding vitamin E to fish oil may prevent the fish oil-induced increase in blood sugar levels.29 In other research, the impairment of sugar metabolism sometimes caused by supplementation with fish oil has been prevented by the addition of half an hour of moderate exercise three times a week.30

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.31 People who took fish oil and who also took 15 grams of pectin per day were reported to have reductions in LDL cholesterol.32 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.33

Are there any drug interactions?
Certain medicines may interact with Fish Oil and Cod Liver Oil. Refer to drug interactions for a list of those medicines.

De beste omega3 visolie is die van Morepa:
http://www.minami-nutrition.be/omega-3/morepa.php

Eén capsule bevat : 580 mg EPA en 83 mg DHA.
Deze hoge dosering heeft als voordeel dat je maar 1 pil per dag moet ipv 2 of 3 bij andere merken.

Ik neem het nu sinds een week of 3, het is nu nog moeilijk te zeggen of er enig effect is, daarvoor moet ik nog een aantal weken wachten. Wel is het zo dat mijn huid er duidelijk baat bij heeft.

Kost ongveer 32 Euro voor een dosis van 2 maanden (60 pillen), te vinden bij de apotheek.
