@Debbie Gill absolutely! Would love you to share. I personally think alot of what I create is applicable to PMDD. If people are interested in PMDD they might like to rule out vitamin D deficiency and zinc deficiency (I have videos on those). Making sure your blood sugars are balanced would be helpful too I think.

I've used it and was advised by my doctor to stop it. the negative effects of fish oil is often overlooked mainly because there is not much discussion about it. but as recovering nicotine addict that has smoked 2 packs a day , after 3 weeks of interrupted sleep that worsen from every 4 hour waking up at night to every 1 hour at night. A day i forgot to take it saved my life. I thought that fish oil would aid me in dealing with the withdrawal symptoms of my addiction turns out it did not. i was fortunate to be reffered to a Dr that is a substance abuse expert. on my 2nd visit him i told him i forgot to take my fishoil and he asked me why the hell am I taking fish oil ? and i said my reasons. then he followed by any chance are there any food sources im eating that is high on Omega 3 fatty acids and i said yes as my tuna . he told to me stop taking fish oil . to cut the story short after several EEGs turns out fish oil worsens my symptoms regardless of what type of omega3 is involved.

@Klaus Sperger oh they do man and they do it a lot because of the anxiety component of withdrawal. that is why they specify what type omega 3 we need to consume. however there are people like me who naturally has high acertycholine in the body. which will have a reverse effect of fish oil instead of going relaxed we would be awake. regardless if you are in withdrawal or not

Almost all fish oils are preserved by tocopherols like one of suggested: Gelatin (bovine), purified water and glycerin (vegetable source) gelcap, vitamin E (mixed tocopherols). Unfortunately tocopherols don't preserve in long term fish oils from losing DHA and EPA. Only those who are additionally preserved with poliphenols from olive oil are keep highest DHA and EPA level

I looked this topic up because my mood has been very good lately and I was wondering if it was because I was taking flaxseed for 6 weeks for another illness, because I remembered a Registered Dietitian in the US say this can work for depression. I've been taking 6 tablespoon of whole flax seeds crushed in a high speed blender with fruit and water. I've also been eating a large mixing bowl of salad with olive oil. Dr Sinclair said you would have to take 3 to 10 Tablespoons of flaxseed for depression, so I'm right about in the middle of that range. Also, I have not noticed any laxative effect to taking this much flaxseed. Obviously, if I'm eating this much flax, fruit, and vegetables, I'm going to have many bowel movements a day, but they are not like those associated with diarrhea (runny and with cramping). In fact they are so well formed that they have cleared up problems I was having with constipation and related painful or irritation issues. Those went away after just a few days on this protocol, and this is after 4 years of on-again off-again issues.

@@DrJanelleSinclair I don’t mind at all that you asked; I hope more people hear about it! Before taking it I had anxiety attacks and depression, with trouble regulating my mood. I started taking fish oil supplements, paying attention to reach a daily dose of 1,000 mgs of EPA. I felt a noticeable difference within 3 days and continued to improve. I probably plateaued and reached some sort of equilibrium within a week. I felt depression and anxiety at an 8 or a 9 before, and today I’d say I feel it at a 3. The difference is massive and it has been about a year and half that I’ve enjoyed this new life of doing dishes, talking to people without panicking, and not avoiding my family. At my local grocery store these supplements are about $17 for a bottle and are frequently on a buy-one-get-one-free sale. It’s the cheapest, most effective, best investment I make. I’m happy to answer any questions about it. I was so miserable- I worry that people will stumble across the scams and “snake oil” videos all over KZfaq and mistake this as another one of those. Thanks for asking about my experience!

I mentioned the manic episodes on the #2or#3 replies section up top. There's going to be a debate over ratio of DHA/EPA Ratio always understand Dr Sinclair you cant speak in absolutes and say EPA Over DHA. If your symptoms are manic depressive your most likely on the other end of the spectrum requiring more DHA then EPA so taking more EPA you would be manic side. I would look for other opinions EPA/DHA are both essential what ratio depends on the persons depression type.
@elli2387 3 жыл бұрын
You should not take more than 2000mg. In combination with epa & dha.Omega 3 for depression epa should be higher than dha. Ex. EPA 300mg & DHA 200mg=500mg. You can take no more than 4 capsules × 500mg = 2000mg. Dosage is from 1000mg-2000mg. So you can take 2 to 4 capsules being this the case. God Bless You!

What if I only take epa and not dha?

Getting it from a natural source is the best.Salmon for example.It works way better than taking fish oil. I’m speaking from personal experience

I’ve been taking 1,200mg of dha daily, very little epa. I’ve been having a difficult time finding a vegan algae oil supplement which is high in eicosapentanoic acid. I ordered fish oil pills that contain 900mg epa, would it be best to take two? And it will it increase my risk of bleeding ?

Hi Janelle, Thank you for this very informative video. I currently take a healthy daily dose of flaxseed oil. Can I take a high quality fish oil omega 3 supplement as well? I have read that combining the two is not a good idea but can't find any solid evidence to why.

Dr,can you tell us WHY higher EPA is what works better for mental health,as i get terrible anxiety due to a suspected nerve/back injury that woke up out of a dormant state last year.I do not know why anxiety comes WITH the pain,but knowing what to take would help.I take Zipvit Omega 3,the EPA strength is 180mg with the DHA at 120mg.Could i do better?

Thanks for all information. Can you tell us which form of Omega-3 Fatty Acids we have to use? My opinion is EE form. But EE form has less bioavailability than TG forms. What is your offer and why?

Hello Dr. The Omega 3 brand i just bought is WHILEY'S FINEST WILD ALASKAN FISH OIL "PEAK EPA". The mg are...750 epa and 250 mg dha. Do I take 3 to 4 capsules per day ( breakfast, lunch, and dinner), to treat depression/axienty? Thankyou Dr for your time. Im so confused about the 1,000 to 2, 000 dosage . Wade :)
@elli2387 3 жыл бұрын
One Capsule would be 1000mg.750epa+250dha=1000mg. Two Capsules are 1500mg+500dha=2000mg. So you can take 1 or 2 capsules.Excellent Ratio!

Is it safe to take 2000mg EPA and 1000mg DHA long term? Or should this only be a short term dose?

Best time to take Omega 3 is with food (Otherwise you can regurgitate it). There's no specific times of the day. It's really about what suits your schedule and what you can stomach when.

Hello Doc, i am using GNC triple strength Omega 3 Fish oil. 1000 mg, which has 734 EPA and 266 DHA. Is that Ratio okay? And how much dosage should i have? Twice a day or thrice a day to make 2000mg EPA? Thankyou for your service.
