Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / March 2004Lecithin, Salmon Oil, Vitamin E, Vitamin C & ASA
Hi gang, A close friend of mine (she's 45) & I got into a discussion about several supplements she takes every day: 1200mg Lecithin 1000mg Salmon Oil 400IU Vitamin E 500mg Vitamin C 81mg ASA I understand about the Vitamin C and the ASA, but what's with the other stuff? Why would someone want to take salmon oil or lecithin, and should I? Thanks. > Hi gang, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Thanks. A great site for learning about supplements is www.lef.org, it's the "life extension foundation". Dally > Hi gang, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > what's with the other stuff? Why would someone > want to take salmon oil or lecithin, and should I? Salmon oil specificaly is full of certain fatty acids that our bodies need and cannot produce by themselves. Not that many foods supply some of these fatty acids. Salmon oil is a good source of them. That said, why can't she simply eat salmon, is a legitimate question. Vitamin E and C in combination have been shown to work well to prevent dementias such as Alzheimer's. It seems like she chose relatively sensible supplements. I have no comment on AASA and lecithin. i If a person eats right, they don't need supplements except possible a pregnant woman under doctor's prescription. I don't take any supplements. > Hi gang, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Thanks. > If a person eats right, they don't need supplements except > possible a pregnant woman under doctor's prescription.

Trouble is that most of us don't have a perfect diet, so taking a supplement can help fill in the gaps. > Trouble is that most of us don't have a perfect diet, so taking a > supplement can help fill in the gaps. Some people in this newsgroup receive all necessary nutrients in their diets. That said, it appears that higher than RDA doses of vitamin E are actually helpful. Thusly, I occasionally take a vitamin E. i > In article <Xns94A680CA3CD42comeonback@204.127.204.17>, > OceanView wrote: [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > i Yes, there's a lot of debate on various vitamins. But E seems universally praised. I take it too, though my nutritionist just me that they are recommending people take no more than 400mg per day. I know that if I take more than 200, I get zits! >> In article <Xns94A680CA3CD42comeonback@204.127.204.17>, >> OceanView wrote: [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > that they are recommending people take no more than 400mg per day. I > know that if I take more than 200, I get zits! You get zits in what way? I bought a big jar of vitamin E pills at Sam's Club, and then realized that the 1000mg doze is too much. So, I take these pills about 3x per week, instead of every day. i > In article <Xns94A6888691B0Ccomeonback@204.127.199.17>, > OceanView wrote: [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > i That would probably work. Taking evry day gave me too much skin oil and it's consequences! Are sure its was the E ?. Kelp tablets used to make my skin quite oily and results in several facial "zits". Kelp tablets are an iodine source. As people age, the their skin gets "too dry" and thus produces too little vitamin D. That is to say the aging skin tends to have too little cholesterol in, on, or near the surface to be converted into vitamin D by the action of UV light.. > >>>> Trouble is that most of us don't have a perfect diet, so > >>>> taking a supplement can help fill in the gaps.

Do pregnant women who eat right, need supplementation? i >> Hi gang, >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >> >> Thanks. jheiskan@welho.com jwales@bomis.com TKNOTT@qcl.org.uk Once upon a time, our fellow Patricia Heil rambled on about "Re: Lecithin, Salmon Oil, Vitamin E, Vitamin C & ASA." Our champion De-Medicalizing in sci.med.nutrition retorts, thusly ... >If a person eats right, they don't need supplements Ha, ... Hah, Ha! I like the way you don't define 'right' or 'need.' That way you don't have to put your butt on the line. Just my opinion. But, I am *right* as usual! That is an over-generalization. Nor is it an accepted view among the semi-progressive nutritionists. A fertile females should be taking a folic acid supplement all during their fertile years. Moreover, you seem to think your physician is qualified on the topic of nutrition. I got news for you, he isn't at least by his education. That you don't take supplements, proves nothing. > If a person eats right, they don't need supplements except > possible a pregnant woman under doctor's prescription.

I > don't take any supplements." ... Even "IF you eat right," does that mean: ...you absorb everything you eat? ...you never get sick? ...you never die? Consider a thousand people who eat EXACTLY the same: ...do they all equally tolerate the foods consumed? ...do they all end up with the same diseases? ...do they all end up dying at the same age? Have you ever noticed: ...how some people get sick more often despite taking supplement? ...how many medical conditions are listed in a medical dicitionary? ...how many different drugs are used for the same diseases? -- > If a person eats right, they don't need supplements except > possible a pregnant woman under doctor's prescription.

The 1200 mg of oily lecithin capsules is an expensive way to get choline and inositol as compared to the bulk granular lecthin. > 1000mg Salmon Oil > 400IU Vitamin E Get a gamma rich E supplement.

Why would someone > want to take salmon oil or lecithin, and should I? Do you eat sardines and cold water wild fish? One would do well to reduce most types refined vegetable oils, beef fat, pork fat, and poultry fat. Eat the raw nuts, and wild captured cold water fish. A diet in omega three oils makes one less prone to inflammation and makes one less prone to DVTs and other unwanted blood clots. > Thanks. |
