Does Intake Of Omega Fatty Acid Supplements Help In Curing Knee Pain?

Posted on Tue, 16 Aug 2016

Question: I've started taking Merks Cod Liver Oil, 2 tabs in morning and 2 in the night. My age is 38 years and weight is 70 KG. I'm fit and fine and no medical history. By taking these pills, my knee pain (which was sporadic earlier) is gone. Question is is it okay to take these cod liver oil tabs? If yes, how many a days will be okay?

2 months

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Yes, its healthy to take omega 3 fatty acids. These are known to reduce risk of heart diseases, vascular disease, aid in healthy weight management, reduce BP and prevent many other heart related illnesses.

Its not recomended to take the same continiously for more than two months. You can take a gap of one month in between and restart again to take it for two months.

Its a supplement not a drug, hence will have no side effects and can be taken life long.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
