Seventy-Year-Old Heart Patient with Diabetes, Which Omega-3 Is Best?
What supplement to use for a 70-year-old man with severe both diabetes and heart problems?
Dear Josephine,
in the elderly, the simultaneous presence of heart disease and diabetes constitutes a complex picture. For this reason, it is essential that each nutritional supplement be implemented with the consent of the attending physician, who knows the patient's history and the pharmacological therapies in progress.
Omegor® Vitality
I suggest you check with your doctor about the possibility of taking a concentrated and pure Omega 3 fatty acid supplement such as Omegor® Vitality.
Supplementing with the Omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA may provide the following cardiovascular health benefits:
- help the regular functioning of the heart (taking at least 250 mg of EPA + DHA every day);
- help maintain normal blood triglyceride levels (taking 2 g of EPA + DHA every day);
- help maintain normal blood pressure levels (taking 3 g of EPA + DHA every day).
Omegor® Vitality is available in two variants:
- Omegor® Vitality 500 , which with just 1 capsule per day provides enough EPA + DHA to promote good heart function;
- Omegor® Vitality 1000 , particularly suitable for reaching higher dosages, such as those needed to control triglycerides (3 capsules per day of Omegor® Vitality 1000) or blood pressure (4 capsules per day of Omegor® Vitality 1000).
Omegor® Vitality contains EPA and DHA from fish (minimum 80% in a 2:1 ratio) in an easily absorbable form (natural triglycerides). Absorption can be optimized by taking the capsules with a main meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner), in a single or multiple administrations depending on individual needs and the doctor's opinion.
Taking it with meals has another advantage: minimizing the possibility of unwanted digestive disturbances (such as the return of the fishy taste).
Sincerely,
Dr. Silvia Soligon, PhD, Nutritionist
