Comment on Omega 3 and depression by Dr Nina Bailey

Hi Debbie,
It is the long chain omega-3 EPA specifically that has anti-depressive actions. Until recently, vegetarians and vegans have had to rely on manufacturing EPA from the short chain omega-3 ALA (commonly found in flaxseed oil) a process that is not entirely efficient. However, the recent food approval of echium seed oil has provided a novel source of an omega-3 called SDA which is a closer relative to EPA and converts though more efficiently. Whilst plant sourced omega-3s do not offer the same physiological benefits as those pre-formed found in fish oils, echium seed oil offers benefits that are similar and is considered to be the closest option to fish oils that vegans can use. For more information and an overview of how echium seed oil compares other plant oils visit http://www.vegetarian-omega3.com

What if you are vegetarian and don’t want to take fish oils? Is there a non-fish oil alternative?

What if your vegetarian and don’t want to take fish oils? Do the vegetarian omega oils supplement work as well?

I recommended Vegepa to a pal of mine who’d been depressed for over 20 years. I do not need it myself so how long before the Omega 3 pills take effect?

I presently take Omega 3 & 6 in the form of Chia seeds specifically for the treatment of hypothyroidism. I also believe that the adjustment of an already strict blood type diet has helped me towards the reduction in medication

Taking highly purified omega-3 ensures no risk of intake of contaminants such as methyl mercury or dioxins. Vegepa (http://www.igennus-hn.com) contains a combination of purified EPA and GLA, and is seems this combination may be optimal for treating depression. Taking omega-3 during pregnancy can also help to reduce the risk of post natal depression and two capsules daily of Vegepa will provide a variety of benefits to both mother and child. Nina

Comment on Omega-3 fish oil supplements reduce cardiovascular disease in diabetics by Dr Nina Bailey

I totally agree! I would certainly recommend choosing a purified fish oil sourced from the flesh of the skin rather than the liver to ensure a pollutant free product.
