Too much of a good thingDear Friend,"Too much of a good thing" Some more very good questions continue to stream in from all parts of the globe. Today I want to take a look at some dosage issue that were brought up by two very thoughtful customers. First let me relay a related question that was: Do healthy people benefit from fish oil? The answer to that one is absolutely! Studies have shown that the blood vessels in the body respond to Omega 3 fatty Acids in fish oil no matter what the overall health of the person taking them is. Blood vessels relax open up and improve blood flow whether you're healthy or sick. This also brings up the question of what is healthy. How often have you heard about someone who was given a "clean bill of health" by there doctor and then keeled over dead a week later. Was that person healthy? Well according to the normal measurements of health they were but obviously there are things that are very important that are not routinely measured. In the past I have predicted and reported on the use of fish oil levels to predict heart health and overall body health. This brings into to focus the next email. "Doc, When it comes to fish oil is more the better or there is a point of diminishing returns? Would I be way better off taking 12 capsules a day versus 6 or there is not much difference (this is for a healthy adult)? Would taking 20 be better than 12, etc?" B. Jacobson Fish oil is a powerful substance and you can overdose on it although it is probably not going to be catastrophic unless you are shot or involved a major accident or are on other medicines that contribute to the effects of the fish oil. The reason I harp on the 6 a day dosage is because that particular dose falls right into the range of "average" when it comes to dosages used in studies to treat or prevent diseases. That said be aware the FDA does not allow the use of the words "treat, mitigate or cure" unless some big drug company has sponsored a study that shows this. So no vitamin can cure anything according to them. But I will tell you that high dose fish oil has had some near miraculous effects on arthritis Multiple Sclerosis, Memory problems and heart disease that had been pretty much given up on by "traditional Doctors".
Situations like that require 12 capsules a day at least in the induction phases where you are trying to get a big change in the omega 3 levels fairly quickly. The limitation is the bodies' response time. You can't change this kind of biology overnight. It may take 2 to 4 weeks. As to the dose of 20 a day. Some of you may remember the sad case of Mike Ettore who wound up looking like a dead ringer for the Creature from the Black Lagoon!" (a previous email). In truth you can get into trouble with that high a dose because your blood can get too thin. While there are no reported cases of this kind of problem, early explorers noted that when they shot the Eskimos they often bled to death quickly! In the past I have always backed off when I noticed that shaving cuts were taking a little too long to stop bleeding. Yet if you have untreatable heart pain or are sitting on top of a heart attack waiting to happen, this kind of dosage may be life saving. Also it depends on ratios. Of good and bad fatty acid levels in your body. Someone who is healthy with a great diet may need only 2 or 3 fish oil caps a day. Someone who has diabetes heart disease and arthritis and doesn't always follow their diet may need 10 or 12 a day. In situations where this becomes critical I use a blood test to measure these levels and adjust therapy. Again this flies in the face of traditional medicine, testing fatty acid levels to adjust fish oil dose...try getting and insurance company to cover that one. They would rather have you hospitalized with a bleeding ulcer or a heart attack form taking Vioxx or Motrin. That they will pay for. Next an anti oxidant dose question. "Hey Doc is it possible to get too many antioxidants at one time? Is there a level of toxicity?" J. Espinosa Probably not. Again the need for antioxidants varies with your situation. If you have great genetics, al day to food shop and low stress, you might be able to get away with eating a few pints of blueberries and a glass of wine a day. If you are older, sick have lousy family genes, live a high stress life style, eat les than well, and/or are a high level athlete, you probably can't take too much antioxidants. Lately ABC carried a blurb on a specific antioxidant that was tied to longevity. When I looked at it closely I thought: "How did they get away with this?" The show quoted a study that proved that anti-oxidants can lengthen life. True. It then went on to state that this particular product was an anti-oxidant. The inference was that the supplement did all the things that the study showed even though that particular supplement was not even used in the study! Shades of Growth Hormone advertising. Growth Hormone is good for you. It does this this and that to keep you healthy and strong. "Our supplement is designed to raise growth hormone." But there is no proof that it actually does in people who are not directly related to the person who owns the company. You get the picture, true true and unrelated. Anyway most anti-oxidants like Berry Boost are water soluble and can be eliminated by the body if they are taken in too high a dose. All you are doing is wasting money. Bad enough but you're at least not hurting yourself. When Berry boost come out we have specific recommendations on dosages but in general the more active or ill you are or the worse your diet, the more you can use. Practical considerations include how many trips to the toilet you want to make if you take say 20 Berry boost a day. I guarantee you it will be far fewer than the number of toilet breaks you'll need if you eat and equivalent amount of fruit. So in short yes you can get too much of a good thing, but in many cases, too much of a good thing is simply wonderful.
