Pak Roi, Ini ada artikel nya dari About. com dikatakan justru untuk ibu yang sedang atau mau hamil harus konsultasi dahulu dengan dokter jika ingin mengkonsumsi DHA karena DHA banyak mengandung vitamin A dan D yang jika terlalu banyak berbahay bagi janin. Tadinya saya kirim penuh tapi ditolak, jadi bagian yang perlu saja ya. Mamanya Dafi Docosahexaenoic Acid Also known as: DHA What does it do? Omega-3 oil, such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), belongs to the class of nutrients called essential fatty acids. DHA has been shown to reduce levels of blood triglycerides. Are there any side effects or interactions? While those with heart disease and diabetes often benefit from fish oil (the primary source of DHA in the diet),such individuals should check with their nutritionally oriented doctor before taking more than 3 or 4 grams of fish oil for several months. Elevations in blood sugar have sometimes been reported, though this may simply be due to small increases in weight resulting from high dietary fish oil. While DHA combined with EPA from fish oil consistently lowers triglycerides, it occasionally increases LDL cholesterol.Fish oil is easily damaged by oxygen, so small amounts of vitamin E are often included in fish oil supplements.Nutritionally oriented doctors often recommend that people who supplement with fish oil or DHA take vitamin E supplements to protect EPA and DHA within the body from oxidative damage. Some evidence indicates that vitamin E may be protective against oxidative damage caused by fish oil. However, animal researchers have reported that the oxidative damage caused by DHA alone was not prevented with vitamin E supplementation. The level of oxidative damage caused by DHA has not been shown to result in significant health problems. Some evidence suggests that adding vitamin E to EPA/DHA may prevent this fish oil-induced increase in serum glucose. Similarly, the impairment of glucose tolerance sometimes caused by the omega-3 oil has been prevented by the addition of half an hour of moderate exercise three times a week. The effect of DHA by itself on glucose levels has not been adequately studied. People who take fish oil containing EPA and DHA and who also take 15 grams of pectin per day have been reported to have reductions in LDL cholesterol. This suggests that pectin may overcome the occasional problem of increased LDL cholesterol from fish oil supplementation. The LDL cholesterol-raising effect of EPA and DHA may also be successfully prevented by taking garlic supplements (or presumably adding garlic to the diet) along with EPA and DHA. Adding pectin or garlic when people supplement DHA by itself has yet to be studied. Certain medications interact in a positive and/or negative way with docosahexaenoic acid. Refer to the drug interactions summary for docosahexaenoic acid for a list of those medications. ---------end--------- --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Suplemen DHA bagi ibu hamil ---deleted------- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
