Time Until Therapeutic Response From Omega 3

(Columbia, MO)

Hi:I have read there is a delay of weeks or months for therapeutic response from Omega 3s. Please tell me how long it will take to derive therapeutic benefits for the following conditions: 1) Depression; 2) Osteoarthritis; 3) Generalized edema; 4) High blood pressure.

Thank you for your help.

Answer:

That is a really complex question, every one of the health conditions you mention may have a different therapeutic response but if the same individual is suffering from them all, it could take not only time but it depends on the dosage and other factors surrounding the conditions.

Let me explain. If you are suffering form depression, it may take one or two months to feel a change in your moods, but you would have to not only take 9-10.000 mg per day of fish oil but accompany the omega 3 with other changes in your life. You would have to first check your thyroid, then change the way you are feeding yourself( no more sugars, candies, pasta, rice, breads and all simple carbohydrates) and last start a daily exercise program.

It is difficult, if not impossible that if your have a deep depression you can expect to cure it buy just taking fish oil and staying on the sofa all day. I believe that is not realistic

Please, read , Omega 3 for Depression

The same could apply to the other conditions. For example, high blood pressure and edema have to be accompanied by some changes in eating and exercise habits in order to get the correct response.

Please, read , Fish Oil and High Blood Pressure and , Exercise


Good luck
