why you should take vitamin e with fish oil


Fish oil and vitamin E go together

BELTSVILLE, MARYLAND. Fish oils are beneficial in the prevention of cancer and cardiovascular disease. They do, however, oxidize very easily and therefore add to the oxidant stress on the body. An experiment was recently carried out by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to see if an increased intake of vitamin E could counteract this detrimental effect of fish oils. Forty men aged 32 to 44 were involved. The men consumed a controlled diet for a total of 28 weeks. For the first 10 weeks they received placebo oil capsules (15 g/day), for the next 10 weeks they received fish oil capsules (15 g/day), and for the last 8 weeks they received the fish oil plus 200 mg of vitamin E (all-rac-alpha-tocopherol). The urinary excretion of peroxidation products (malondialdehyde) more than doubled when the fish oil capsules were introduced but then dropped by a factor of four when vitamin E was added. The vitamin E concentration in the red blood cells dropped very significantly when fish oil was ingested but more than recovered with the vitamin E supplement. It is concluded that the negative effects of fish oil consumption can be overcome by taking them together with vitamin E.

Fish oil supplements increase requirements for Vitamin E

LONDON, ENGLAND. A recent experiment carried out at King's College in London showed that daily intake of fish oil supplement reduces the plasma concentration of vitamin E to below normal range. Nine healthy male subjects were given a daily fish oil supplement containing 2.1 g docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and 0.8 g eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) for a six week period. The proportion of DHA and EPA in the blood increased during the trial while the concentration of very-low-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol and triacylglycerol decreased. Blood pressure fell slightly during treatment, but rose again once the fish oil supplementation was discontinued. Of particular interest was the finding that alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) concentration in the blood fell from 20 micromol/l to about 10 micromol/l during the experiment. This raises the question whether fish oil supplementation increases the need for antioxidant supplementation.

Statement on Fred Hutchison Omega-3 / Breast Cancer Study
“The possibility that regular use of fish oil supplements could help reduce the risk of breast cancer, is of course, both potentially exciting as well as intriguing,” said Liz Thompson, senior vice president of Medical and Scientific Affairs for Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. “These early findings demonstrate the need for follow-up studies. In fact, Komen for the Cure is already investing $7.5 million in a major study at Pennsylvania State University's School of Medicine looking at how fish oils may be combined with the drug raloxifene to prevent breast cancer. In the meantime, we suggest women check with their health care providers about the pros and cons of using these and other supplements.”

The fish oil supplements studied, which contain high levels of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, were preliminarily linked to a 32 percent drop in the risk of developing invasive ductal carcinoma (the most common type of breast cancer) among post-menopausal women. Researchers from the Fred Hutchison Cancer Research Center in Seattle recently published results of their study in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention. The scientists found fish oil did not seem to affect the risk of lobular cancer.

hello everyone, my doctor ( naturopat ), gave me "now" COD LIVER OIL lemon flavored , this is suppose to be the same as omega 3 fatty acids right?

Actually, no. Oil from the liver of the fish is different. I believe the preferred oil is from the body of the fish.
