Omega
3 Fish Oil
Fatty
acids are the basic building blocks of which fats and oils are composed.
Contrary to popular myth, the body does need fat. It must be the right
kind, however.
The
fatty acids that are necessary for health and that cannot be made by the
body are called essential fatty acids, they must be supplied through the
diet.
Essential
fatty acids have desirable effects on many disorders. They improve the
skin and hair, reduce blood pressure, aids in the prevention of
arthritis, lower cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, and reduce the
risk of blood clot formation.
Eloosapentaenoic
acid (EPA) and Docosahoxaenoic acid (DHA) are Omega-3 essential fatty
acids primarily found in the oil of cold water fish including salmon,
Bluefish, Herring, Mackerel, Tuna, and the like. Studies indicates that
they are capable of thinning blood and lowering blood fat and
cholesterol levels. They have the therapeutic applications for heart
disease, inflammatory conditions like arthritis, and psoriasis. Taken in
excess, DHA can reduce blood clotting capability. It often has vitamin E
oil added to prevent rancidity.
