你不可不知的海中寶-魚油
張珮蓁營養師 Dietitian Patty
目錄:
是從富含脂肪的深海魚類,例如:鯖魚、鯷魚、鮭魚、金槍魚等提取出來的油脂,為 Omega-3 脂肪酸的常見動物來源,提供具重要保健功能的DHA與EPA。而相較於植物來源,魚油的 Omega-3 更容易被人體轉換利用1,也因此魚油成為補充 Omega-3 的首選。
- DHA(docosahexaenoic acid)
- EPA(eicosapentaenoic acid)
- ALA(α-Linolenic acid)
Omega-3 建議補充量為?
根據世界衛生組織的建議,一般成人只要每天攝取300~500mg的 Omega-3,就能滿足日常保健需求。
- 保護心血管&改善血脂

- 抗發炎

- 增強免疫力
- 護眼(乾眼症與黃斑部病變)
- 抗憂鬱與焦慮
- 改善注意力及記憶力
- 輔助減重與減少肝臟脂肪
- 有益骨骼健康
魚油 Omega-3 哪時候補充與注意事項?
建議隨餐飯後吃,因食物中的脂肪可幫助增加魚油在人體的吸收度 15,因此與食物一起食用較好吸收。
注意:因有抗血栓的功效,建議避免與影響血液凝結的藥物一起服用,且凝血功能不全者、或執行手術前應避免食用大量魚油。
然而,Omega-3 脂肪酸與其他不飽和脂肪酸一樣,接觸到空氣有易氧化的特性,因此魚油通常添加維生素E生育醇或天然的 β-胡蘿蔔素作為抗氧化劑,以穩定來減少變質的情況產生。
補充說明:魚油的實證益處很多,但並非表示單靠魚油補充,不管其他飲食內容就能達到整體健康與抗發炎,還需建立在均衡飲食含充足維生素和礦物質的攝取,透過複方的方式使攝入的營養素與魚油可以協同作用,一同提升吸收利用率,讓抗發炎抗氧化能力更加完善。
