Molecularly distilled, pharmaceutical-grade, pure fish oil sourced only from anchovies and sardines. High-potency Wild Omega EPA 660 mg DHA 330 mg fish oil helps improve cognitive function, supports heart health, and reduces inflammation.
Fish oil is probably the most important dietary source of omega‑3 fatty acids, which are vital nutrients. Omega‑3 fatty acids are one type of essential fatty acids, special fats that the body needs as much as it needs vitamins. Much of the research into the potential therapeutic benefits of omega‑3 fatty acids began when studies of the Inuit people found that, although their diets contain an enormous amount of fat from fish, seals, and whales, they seldom suffer heart attacks or develop rheumatoid arthritis; this is presumably because those sources of fat are very high in omega‑3 fatty acids.
These fatty acids reduce inflammation, protect against the abnormal clotting associated with heart attacks. These omega‑3 fatty acids differ structurally from omega‑6 fatty acids. Evidence from studies show that omega‑3 fatty acids may reduce the chances of getting atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, migraine headaches, and other heart and inflammatory diseases.
A study suggests that fish oil can be very helpful for bipolar disease, more commonly known as manic-depressive disorder. More research is needed, but this appears to be a potential breakthrough for this devastating illness, whose conventional treatments cause many side effects.
A further benefit shown from the consumption of fish oil is in the production of eicosanoid compounds; these compounds regulate the communication between cells. The species of eicosanoid produced from omega‑3 fatty acids, as opposed to omega‑6 fatty acids, seem to better regulate immunological responses, such as the body tissues’ response to injury or disease. There may be other benefits, too: A 1992 study in the journal The Lancet suggests that omega‑3 fatty acids prolong pregnancy by a few days and improve birth weights.
Omega‑3s are part of the cell membrane composition; that’s why they are called “structural” fatty acids. The more you absorb these precious fatty acids, the healthier your cells will be, and the better the communication will be between them.
Fish oil appears to be safe. The most common complaint is fishy burps. Fish oil should not be combined with powerful blood-thinning medications, such as coumadin (warfarin) or heparin, except on the advice of your health-care practitioner.
