Omega-3 Fats Reduce Risk of Colds In Babies

Omega-3 Fats Reduce Risk of Colds In Babies

Babies whose mothers take Omega-3 fish oil supplements during pregnancy suffer fewer colds. The research showed that babies in the group whose mothers had taken DHA were healthier overall.

Recently, a study of more than 800 babies showed that mothers who took of a particular kind of Omega-3 acid supplements during the second half of their pregnancy had healthier babies. The research showed that babies in the group whose mothers had taken DHA were healthier overall.

“Recommending women to take a dose of up to 400 milligrams of DHA during pregnancy would be safe, [but] how much of a benefit there is we don’t know yet,” says Usha Ramakrishnan, Ph.D., the lead author of the study and an associate professor of global health at Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health, in Atlanta, Georgia.

Babies whose mothers had taken 400mg Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) capsules each day had fewer colds at the age of one month than a control group, although they had longer-lasting rashes.

After 3 months those whose parents had taken the supplements spent 14 per cent less time ill, and at 6 months they had less fever, breathing problems, rashes and other illnesses but significantly higher levels of vomiting.

In a study published in the Pediatrics journal, they said DHA influenced the duration of illness symptoms and reduced the infants’ chances of catching colds.

Omega 3 Fatty Acid Fact:

DHA and EPA are two of the most important types of Omega 3's. DHA is especially important because the human brain is comprised of 60% fats, and approximately half of that fat is DHA.

"Omega 3 fatty acids benefit the heart of healthy people, and those at high risk of -- or who have -- cardiovascular disease."

-- American Heart Association

On Sept 8th, 2004, the Food and Drug Administration issued a Press Release Announcing:

"Qualified Health Claims for Omega-3 Fatty Acids"

"Coronary heart disease is a significant health problem that causes 500,000 deaths annually in the United States," said Dr. Lester M. Crawford, Acting FDA Commissioner. "This new qualified health claim for omega-3 fatty acids should help consumers as they work to improve their health by identifying foods that contain these important compounds."

"I wanted to let you know how well your supplements are working for me, they have by far surpassed my expectations. I have been using Female Rejuvenator, Neuro Natural General and Omega 3/DHA Fish Oil for the past 2-weeks...

Let me tell you some of the positive results that I have experienced...

Improved energy, stable mood, a happier, more content and relaxed feeling! I've become very regular and go with ease. My libido is much higher. My cognitive functioning is sharper and more acute. I have a lower appetite and also surprisingly soft lips! They used to be dry and chapped even though I was on high doses of fish oils. I used lip balms but nothing worked. Now I use nothing yet still my lips stay soft!"

"....I have been using your Omega 3/DHA Fish Oil for a few months now and my doctor was astounded by the improvement in my cholesterol level. His comment was "I don't know what you've changed, but don't stop!" He is going to look into your products for his own use now. Thanks for a great product."

"Your supplements are exceptional! I started taking them two months ago. I was stressed, run down, exhausted & constantly catching colds & flu. After two months taking Total Balance Women's Premium and Fish Oil Premium, I am noticeably healthier and more relaxed with increased energy and resistance to the winter bugs. I am completely converted and your supplements are now an integral part of my health regime. Thank you."
