The Many Benefits of Omega-3

Promotes and Enhances Cardiovascular Health Omega-3 helps reduce serum LDL “bad” cholesterol and triglycerides, while raising HDL “good” cholesterol. It also promotes smoother, healthier and more elastic blood vessels, reduces the build-up of cholesterol-laden plaque in arteries and helps prevent clot formation that blocks the blood vessels. This greatly reduces the risk of fatal heart attacks or strokes. Relieves Aching Joints Omega-3’s anti-inflammatory actions help to reduce pain and swelling, and relieve discomfort in arthritic joints. Clinical studies reported decreased morning stiffness, reduced tender and swollen joints and less fatigue.

Improves Concentration & Alleviates Stress
DHA is an essential component of brain cell membranes and is crucial for brain health. It facilitates the transmission of chemical messages between brain cells for efficient communication. Regular intake of Omega-3 not only boosts learning power, memory and concentration, but also greatly alleviates stress, enhances mood and is beneficial for people with hectic lifestyles.

Alleviates Migraine Related Headaches
Clinical studies indicate that Omega-3 helps to regulate the production of “bad” prostaglandins that cause pain and inflammation. It also helps to improve blood flow to the brain by making the blood less sticky. This reduces the frequency, severity and duration of migraine headaches. Omega-3 is recommended by the American National Headache Foundation.

Encourages Healthy Youthful Skin
Omega-3 is vital for moist, healthy skin. It strengthens the delicate membrane that surrounds each cell to allow proper nourishment and waste removal. It encourages the production of stronger collagen and elastin fibres in the skin, which helps to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and lift sagging skin. Omega-3 deficiency is often the cause of dry coarse skin, thick patches of skin, cracked heels, eczema, psoriasis, acne, blackheads and whiteheads.

Health Conditions Linked with Omega-3 Deficiency

• Vision problems, including dry, sensitive eyes and failing vision
• Heart disease, including high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, stroke and heart attack
• Joint and muscular pains, like arthritis
• Forgetfulness, poor concentration
• Irritability, depression and mood swings
• Learning disabilities, including dyslexia and ADHD (attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder)
• Dry skin, hair and nails, including “chicken skin” texture on the back of arms, cracked heels or fingertips, psoriasis, eczema, brittle or soft and weak nails
• Low energy, frequent tiredness, lack of stamina
• Poor wound healing
• Frequent infections
• Some cancers, including prostate cancer

Why Omega is good for you

Fish is a good source of Omega-3 because it supplies valuable EPA and DHA in a form readily used by our bodies, but unfortunately today, many shallow tide fish have low Omega-3 content and the deep sea fish that are rich in Omega-3 (salmon, sprat, herring and tuna) are filled with rising levels of heavy metals, mercury, dioxins, PCB and other contaminants. These contaminants are highly toxic to the human body and may affect the nervous system. Supplementing with a safe and reliable source of deep-sea Omega-3 that has been purified using molecular distillation is your safest best for ensuring sufficient quantities of Omega-3.

Not all Fish Oils are the same
Not all fish oils provide equal concentrations of Omega-3. Each 1000mg softgel capsule of concentrated fish oil supplement should provide at least 500mg Omega-3 with 300mg of EPA and 200mg of DHA like ours. “Cheaper” variants usually come with a much lower Omega-3 content. Also, a molecularly distilled Omega-3, free from heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides and other contaminants is a safer choice compared to cheaper non-molecularly distilled variants.
