  • Promoting cardiovascular health1,2
  • Helping support healthy brain function3,4
  • Helping reduce serum triglycerides/triacylglycerols5,6
  • Reducing the pain of rheumatoid arthritis in adults when taken in conjunction with conventional therapy7,8
  • Providing 500 mg of EPA and 250 mg DHA per clear enteric softgel

 

The Importance of Omega-3 Fatty Acids

The Importance of Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Dietary and/or supplemental omega-3 sources are needed since the human body cannot produce these essential fatty acids. Both plant and marine are dietary sources of omega-3 fatty acids, but omega-3 fish oil is an important source of EPA and DHA which provide many protective health benefits for the heart and brain. Although omega-3 fatty acids are essential for maintaining good health, 97.5% of North Americans are lacking sufficient intake of omega-3 required to support a healthy heart.9

Supports Heart, Brain, and Joints

Together EPA and DHA support cardiovascular health by helping to lower plasma triglycerides, resting heart rate and blood pressure, while increasing levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), among other actions.2,10,11,12 In addition, fish oil consumption has been found to reduce risk of overall mortality by 16–23% and cardiovascular death by 24–32%.13,14 Research has also reported that the use of EPA and DHA combined in doses greater than 1 g for at least three months produces a significant reduction of triglycerides ranging from 7–25%.15

Healthy brain function depends on a sufficient supply of essential fatty acids, since these are the building blocks of brain cells and are used as fuel for brain metabolism.16 DHA is especially important for optimal brain function, as it is the main structural fatty acid in the cerebral cortex and in the membranes of the synaptic communication centres of the brain.17

Fish oil has been found in multiple clinical trials to be of benefit in the management of joint pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis. In one meta-analysis, omega-3 supplementation for 3–4 months reduced joint pain intensity reported by patients; duration of morning stiffness; decreased number of tender joints, and decreased NSAID consumption.7
