ANSWERS

Q: Can I overdose on Omega-3?

A: The possibility of taking an overdose of Omega-3 is very remote, especially when taking a refined product such as our Omega-3 Maximum Strength. That's because it does not contain non-soluble vitamins A and D, which can build up in your system, and because it is free of toxins. People have been known to take 3,000 to 10,000 mg per day without a problem. We do, however, suggest that you follow the recommended dosage of one to two 1000 mg softgels per day unless directed by your healthcare professional. Studies have shown you can take up to 16 grams per day without any problems. We should warn about taking if using blood thinners or before surgery.

Q: Is it safe for pregnant women to take Omega-3?

A: More and more research suggests that, for pregnant women, Omega-3 fats might be the most important supplement they can take to improve the brain development of the fetus. Of course, we recommend you first discuss taking any supplements with your physician if you're pregnant.

Q: Is it OK for children to take omega-3 and how much?

A: Omega-3 is perfectly safe for children to take, though practical problems can make it difficult for children under 5. As far as amounts are concerned, for children between 5 and 10 years of age, it is suggested that an intake of around 300mg per day of long chain omega-3 (from fish oil) would be suitable. If you want to use vegetable omega-3, you must increase this by 10 times to have the same effect. We recommend one capsule per day of our Regular Strength Omega-3 for children under 10 (275 mg) and two capsules for children over 10 (550 mg.) If you'd rather give your child liquid cod liver oil, ½ teaspon is recommended for children under 12.

Q: Can I take omega-3 fish oil if I'm allergic to fish?

A: Most fish allergies would probably not be activated by taking Maximum Strength Omega-3 since almost everything is removed except for the omega-3 oil, which is an essential fatty acid that everyone requires. There are however trace quantities of other fish nutrients remaining in the oil and, since we don't have information on what you are specifically allergic to, they might trigger a reaction. Therefore, it is best to check with your health care provider before taking any new medicines or supplements.

Another possibility is taking our omega-3 health bar. It is made with flax seed oil, another important source omega-3. It has no fish oil in it. You can get more information at http://www.icelandhealth.com/omegabar.cfm.

Q: What is the recommended daily dosage of omega-3?

A: 1,000 mgs a day. Iceland Health Omega-3 maximum strength gel caps are 1,000 milligrams so you only need to take one a day. Omega-3 regular strength gel caps are 280 mgs each.

Q: What should I do if I don't feel well after taking omega-3?

A: Everybody is different and any medication or supplement may cause side-effects in some people. We have had a few reports of very mild belching lasting for less than a minute when taking the product on an empty stomach. These people say that 2 remedies are very effective: taking the product with food and keeping the softgels in the freezer before taking (the freezing seems to slow the release into the system thereby letting the body digest it more slowly.)

Q: Are there any side effects from taking omega-3?

A: There are no known medical side effects from omega-3 unless you are taking blood thinning medication, in which case you should check first with your health care provider. The vast majority of people experience no gastrointestinal discomfort from omega-3.

Q: How should I store omega-3 capsules?

A: Omega-3 gel capsules should be stored in a cool, dry place.
