Fish oils have captured the attention of even mainstream medical
researchers these days. They are often recommended now to help prevent
and even treat cardiovascular disease. They are also often used
for potential cognitive issues, stroke prevention, prevention
of macular degeneration, and pain relief. Experts have
suggested that the consumption of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids,
particularly EPA and DHA, may reduce the risk of autoimmune disease,
certain forms of cancer, diabetes and arthritis.
The
American Heart Association's now actually has fish oil guidelines that
recommend that patients with coronary heart disease take 1 g/day of
omega-3 fatty acids containing 180 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
and 120 mg of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in the diet or as a supplement.
There are many types of fish oil products on the
market. The poor ones use farmed fish. The good ones have high contents
of EPA and DHA. The better ones come in glass bottles, and do not use
pork in their capsules. The best ones also contain oil from wild
herring (or similar fish) that has been molecularly distilled to
eliminate heavy metal concerns. Omega 3/ EPA/ DHA, of
course, contains high amounts of both EPA and DHA, comes in non-pork
capsules, has been molecularly distilled, comes in glass bottles, and
is from wild herring. Omega 3/ EPA/ DHA also naturally contains vitamin E.
Vitamin E is an important nutrient and antioxidant.
Omega 3/ EPA/ DHA naturally contains those nutrients found in molecularly distilled Herring oil.
Food nutrients are better because they contain important enzymes,
peptides, and phytonutrients CRITICAL to the UTLIZATION of vitamins,
and minerals which are not present in isolated USP nutrients. Published
research has specifically concluded that food vitamins are SUPERIOR to
synthetic/USP vitamins. Suggested Use: 1-6 capsules per day, or as recommended by
your health care professional. Adjust dosage according to nutritional
lifestyle requirements.
