Each Super Strength EPA & DHA: Omega 3 Fish Oil soft gel capsule provides 330mg EPA and 220mg DHA - the highest strength formulation available! Found primarily in cold water fish, Omega 3 fatty acids are a form of ‘polyunsaturated fats’, which unlike saturated fats (associated with heart disease), are actually good for your health, although the body cannot make them on its own - they must be obtained from outside sources (i.e. food or supplements). For these reasons Omega 3 (and Omega 6) Fatty Acids are called ‘Essential Fatty Acids’ (EFA’s). Researchers are constantly announcing new benefits of supplementing with omega 3 fish oils. In May 2005 an article in the Daily Mail entitled 'The Cleverness Capsule' revealed how omega 3 oil made a big improvement in concentration, memory and mood in children. More recently (6th October, 2005) the BBC aired a 'Horizon' programme ('Could fish make my child smart?') which investigated the many reported health benefits of omega oils. It is important to maintain a healthy balance between Omega 3’s and Omega 6’s (another source of EFA’s) as current reports state that most people’s diets consists of far more Omega 6’s than Omega 3’s. Experts recommend that the balance needs redressing and that for the body to thrive, a healthy diet should consist of roughly one to four times Omega 6 Fatty Acids than Omega 3’s. Without a good supply of Omega 3’s, the body will use saturated fat to construct cell membranes making them less flexible and thereby making it harder for the heart to return to a resting state. In addition, Omega 3 has also been found to: Help prevent blood from clotting by making platelets in blood less likely to clump together, (a causative factor in heart attacks); Help to lower blood fats (triglycerides), blood pressure and cholesterol levels; Aid normal growth and development as well as play a crucial role in brain function (e.g. memory, concentration and mood) by enhancing the ability of cells to ‘communicate’ with one another in the brain. Extensive research also indicates that Omega 3 Fatty Acids could even reduce the inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. Further benefits include: balancing hormones, improving the immune system and keeping skin, hair and nails healthy.
