High Potency Fish Oil Pills

Just some of the recognized benefits of a regular fish oil dietary supplement.

Reduced risk of heart disease: The American Heart Association cites clinical trials showing that the high concentration of omega 3 in fish oil pills is effective in reducing the incidence of cardiovascular disease. It lowers the levels of LDL or ‘bad’ cholesterol, and increases the HDL or ‘good’ cholesterol, may reduce and helps to maintain blood triglycerides at normal healthy levels.

Reducing inflammation: Fish oil is widely considered to have anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, supplements may be helpful to those suffering from chronic inflammatory diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn’s Disease and ulcerative colitis. Arthritis is another malady characterized by excess inflammation in the body. More and more arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis sufferers are being advised by their doctors to take fish oil pills.

Weight Loss: Increasing your intake of healthy fats may help in losing weight because foods rich in omega 3s will help you feel satisfied. You won’t crave fattening carbohydrates, sugars and other foods laden with unhealthy or trans fats. Combined with an appropriate exercise routine, increased fish oil consumption may help maintain normal healthy weight.

Reducing symptoms of depression: Recent studies have shown that the absence of omega 3 essential fatty acids correlated with higher incidences of depression across a diverse sample of study participants. Those with low omega 3 intake were also more prone to stress, mental fatigue, and decreased cognitive ability. DHA and EPA supplements are even commonly recommended for people suffering from, or at risk for, Alzheimer’s Disease. A recent story featured on webmd explained how diet may influence Alzheimer’s risk.

Fish Oil Added to Your Diet Reduces Inflammation

For years, high cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure were considered to be the primary risk factors for heart disease. Recently, however, another biomarker was identified that may be even more important than the traditional risk factors: C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of systemic inflammation in the body. One study found that women with high CRP levels had double the risk of dying from heart disease or stroke than those with high cholesterol.Several studies have demonstrated a fish oil-CRP link. Several varied studies found that people who ate fish once a week had 33% lower CRP levels than non-fish eaters. How does eating fish lower inflammation? The omega-3 fatty acid, EPA, which is abundant in coldwater fatty fish, regulates the effects of the pro-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acid, arachidonic acid (ARA), which is found in meat, eggs and dairy products. Fish oil capsules (see How I Use Omega 3 Capsules) have been shown to improve ARA:EPA ratios in healthy people as well as in patients with coronary artery disease.

Information on Molecularly Distilled Fish Oil

The purity of fish oil supplements is a paramount concern. Running almost in parallel with the popularity of omega 3/fish oil supplements is the concern by many health experts over high levels of hazardous contaminants present in various species of cold water fish. The FDA has gone so far as to say that pregnant women, in particular, need to limit their intake of fresh fish because of high concentrations of heavy metals such as mercury and lead, and other toxins. The same caution applies to fish oil supplements if special purification techniques are not used in the manufacturing process.

The purification method most commonly used is molecular distillation. This process uses low heat and a chemical process to remove heavy metals, PCBs and other man-made pollutants. Molecular distillation also concentrates the most beneficial components, the EPA and DHA fish oil.

Fish Oil May Lower Cholesterol and Triglycerides

Family history and genetics are the most important determining factor affecting your health. Our individual risk profiles can help us to understand, based upon family history, what we should pay attention to in terms of early warning signs for diseases such as: heart disease; hyptertension (high blood pressure); diabetes; and even certain forms of cancer.

In my case I found that my father and several other relatives on his side suffered from atherosclerosis (a condition in which fatty material collects along the walls of arteries). Cholesterol levels outside of the normal range are key indicators for the onset of this condition. Wouldn’t you know it…in my mid-thirties I noticed that my cholesterol was slowly creeping up. 208 was the number that forced me into action. I spent a lot of time reading and learning as much as I could about diets that lower cholesterol naturally and the benefits of omega fatty acids. I compared and tested several different enteric coated omega complex capsules and omega 3 vitamins. I consulted with my doctor on the proper omega 3 dosage.

Results: within 6 months I had lowered my cholesterol to 196. More importantly, according to my doctor, I had improved my triglyceride levels and the HDL to LDL ratio. 12 months later (18 months after beginning my Omega 3 capsule regimen) it was time for another physical. Cholesterol level down to 185, where it has thankfully stayed.
