Fat for Life

Fats can be good. Omega 3s are getting lots of press for heart health, joint health, and general beauty and health. Good fats, like Omega 3s (aka EFAs), also help promote healthy brain and eye function.

Omega 3s help your body create the "veto" enzymes that turn off excess inflammatory response from your immune system, which is one way they help joint health, as well as any kind of inflammation in the body.

Neurotransmitters in the brain send their messages along fat cells in the brain and MS people need all the healthy fat cells we can get, along with that cool anti-inflammatory response effect.

Best brands are Nordic Naturals, Carlson Labs, Natural Factors, Spectrum, and/or Nature's Way. These brands use clean sources AND use pharmaceutical grade distillation to remove mercury and dangerous contaminants so don't settle for crappy drugstore brands. Many of the brands I name above are available with lemon or fruit flavor added to the pill.

If you are a vegetarian, I would recommend fish oil. Omega 3s from flax oil and vegetarian sources have to be converted in your body, whereas the Omega 3s in fish oil have already been converted by the fish when they eat algae. The difference comes down to: 2 or 3 pills of fish oil is equal to 13-18 pills of flax oil!
If you still must have veg, take flax or hemp oil (Barlean's, Manitoba, Spectrum, or Living Harvest) and vegetarian DHA from Algae like from Nature's Way (aka Neuromins), New Chapter, or Solgar. It won't be equivalent but it'll be the best you can do.
