Omega-3
Omega-3 Hi EPA [Circulatory]. Omega-3 fatty acids are one of four basic fats that the body derives from foods. While many of the other fats are harmful, Omega-3s benefit the body and are especially good for the heart. Consumption of the omega 3 fatty acids found in Omega-3 Hi EPA—EPA and DHA—may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

The body uses omega-3 EFAs as one of the primary components of cell membranes. Omega-3 fatty acids also may help maintain blood pressure levels that are already within the normal range. When there is a shortage of omega-3s, the body uses saturated fat to construct the cell membrane, resulting in less elastic membranes. Omega-3s are also beneficial to the structural system and to the skin.

Omega-3 Hi EPA softgels contain approximately 1000 mg fish oil, with a ratio of 33:16 EPA to DHA (380 mg EPA, 190 mg DHA) per softgel. It also contains lemon oil to significantly reduce the aftertaste from fish oil and to reduce gas. Take 1 softgel with a meal three times daily.

Omega-3 HI EPA - Supplement Notes

Important fatty acids from fish oil - EFAs

Historically, Americans obtained 40% of their fat from omega-3 oils. Today only 5% of our fat consists of these oils. Populations who still eat quantities of deep-sea fish do not share many of the typical "modern" degenerative diseases such as heart disease.

Benefits of omega-3 oils include lower LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, improved circulation with decreased plate­let stickiness, reduced blood pressure and improved immune system function. Fish oils may affect the nervous system and improve symptoms of mental illness and the effectiveness of niacin.

Fish oil quality is an important issue. Avoid "fish oils" from "mixed marine" sources. Many are bottom-feeders with little DHA or EPA and may be contaminated with pollutants. This Omega-3 supplement is of extremely high quality.  This supplement's purity goes far beyond cold filtration - it is processed with molecular filtration - only a few supplements on the market today have this level of purity.  Most supplement companies cannot every measure down to the contamination levels to which this product is specified.  Guaranteed Pure to ppb levels (parts per billion). This Omega-3 product is so pure that you can literally chew the capsules like candy.  There is no fish taste- (I do it every day and I cannot stand bad tastes)  

Research: Double-blind studies shown omega-3 from fish oil is benefical for the following conditions: High triglycerides, Crohn’s disease, High blood pressure, and Rheumatoid arthritis.1 2 3  The anti-inflammatory effects of EPA and DHA also account for the findings that show fish oil is useful for kidney diseases4 and may help protect against chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.5 Depression is yet another use.6

The Utility of Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Cardiovascular Disease.

Related Articles The Utility of Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Cardiovascular Disease. Am J Ther. 2008 Dec 15; Authors: Saremi A, Arora R We reviewed the use of marine-derived omega-3 fatty acids in cardiovascular disease by discussing key epidemiologic and placebo-controlled studies in people with and without prior cardiovascular disease at baseline. In addition, studies on the antitriglyceridemic, antihypertensive, hemostatic, antiarrhythmic, and antiatherogenic properties of omega-3 fatty acids were examined. Lastly, we discussed current dietary and safety recommendations regarding fish and fish oil capsules as stated by the US Food and Drug Administration and the US Environmental Protection Agency. We found that omega-3 fatty acids have shown to significantly reduce coronary mortality and sudden death in people without prior cardiovascular disease and reduce all-cause death and cardiac mortality in secondary prevention studies. Studies on stroke are still unclear and more studies need to focus on stroke subtypes. The beneficial effects of omega-3 fatty acids might be the result of their ability to reduce triglyceride levels, blood pressure, platelet agg...
