OMEGA-3

90 Soft Gel Capsules EPA, DHA, and other essential ingredients. *OMEGA-3 is an essential fatty acid (EFA) that cannot be made by the body and which must be supplied through the diet. Essential fatty acids are known as Polyunsaturates and are recommended in order to potentially lower cholesterol, blood pressure and to reduce the risks of heart disease and stroke. *Research done by Dr. William E. Connor, Professor of Medicine at Oregon Health Sciences University, indicates that dietary Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for normal function and Japanese researchers concluded that a deficiency of essential fatty acids possibly leads to impaired ability to learn and recall information. Omega-3 is great for arthritis and stiffness. You will notice a change in reduced pain in a matter of a day or two after taking omega-3. Try some today.
*HHS: Fish Oil Beneficial to Heart Health
Evidence reports released by an arm of the Department of Health and Human Services suggest fish oil may reduce the risk of heart disease and mitigate contributing risk factors. However, two related reports concluded the evidence on omega-3s and conditions such as IBS, asthma and rheumatoid arthritis is lacking.

What about Omega 3 fish oil?
.

In recent years there's been a lot of talk about the health benefits of essential fatty acids. In the 1980s it was all about Omega-6, then with the olive oil-based Mediterranean diet, Omega-9 became the rage. While Omegas 6 and 9 are still popular and beneficial to your health, today Omega-3 takes center stage and for good reason. It offers a host of benefits from head-to-toe. Unfortunately, most of us are woefully deficient in Omega-3, especially those coming from fish sources. Could this be why you're not feeling your best?...Why things aren't working like they used to? Then read on...

The Basics of Omega-3s
Omega-3s are a group of polyunsaturated, essential fatty acids that include: alpha linolenic acid (ALA), which comes from soybeans, walnuts and flaxseed, and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) which come from fish.

Interest in Omega-3 from fish oil began when it was discovered that Eskimos, despite eating a lot of fats, had fewer heart concerns. Eskimos, of course, eat a lot of cold water fish.

Omega-3 from fish oil more easily converted
While it's true you can get Omega-3 ALA from plant sources like the ones just mentioned above, it appears your body's ability to convert ALA is not as effective as the Omega-3 from EPA and DHA that come from fatty fishes like salmon, albacore tuna, sardines, herring, anchovies, and mackerel.

It's believed that at one time humans were able to make the EPA and DHA conversions more efficiently, but due to our modern diet, lifestyle and the quantity of trans fats we consume from prepared, packaged and fast foods, our ability has diminished. This leaves most of us – over 90 percent – deficient and vulnerable.

What makes EPA and DHA unique is that once they're consumed, they are readily absorbed by various tissues and cell membranes where they affect a wide range of metabolic activities. Sometimes they restrain harmful activity, like fighting free radicals. Sometimes they facilitate functions to keep your healthy. For example, in the brain they affect neurodevelopment to keep your mind and memory strong. In the heart, EPA and DHA influence electrical activity to keep heart rhythms healthy. No other fatty acids show this influence. The bottom line: while Omega-3 ALA is beneficial, Omega-3 EPA and DHA are even more so.
