What is Omega Fish?
Omega fish oil is an essential polyunsaturated long-chain fatty acid that is typically found within the fatty layers of cold-water fish and shellfish, plant and nut oils. It is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and there are numerous types of fatty acids that belong in the Omega-3 family. AKA (alpha-linolenic acid) is typically found within plants, while EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are plentiful in fish oil.
Both EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) have greater health benefits than AKA (alpha-linolenic acid) and are clinically recognised as being most beneficial.[7][8] Both of these polyunsaturated fats are essential when it comes to the healthy functioning of the body as they are the building blocks for many of the body’s cells. Maintaining a plentiful supply is vital to support overall health and keep the body in the best condition possible – from early development and throughout life!
Supplementing your diet with BioPharm-X Omega 3 provides an unparalleled 1000mg of fish oil rich in both DHA and EPA (EPA/DHA – 18/12 TG). Maximum potency is achieved by concentrating the Omega-3 through a process of distilling and filtering to maximize the removal of heavy metals, pesticides and other contaminants!
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is a key component of all cell membranes and is found in the highest concentrations in the brain (accounting for up to 97% of Omega-3 fats). DHA lines the membranes of nerve cells in the brain and as a result, plays an important role in the maintenance of brain function.[2][3] DHA is also highly concentrated in the retina of healthy eyes (up to 93%).[1] The EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) has acknowledged its contribution to the maintenance of normal vision.
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) is a potent anti-inflammatory and plays an essential role in the anti-inflammatory process as well as the viscosity of cell membranes.[2][3] Being a precursor to several metabolites, EPA is highly beneficial in the prevention or treatment of several diseases.[4] While bestowing a vast number of health benefits by improving blood pressure control, alleviating symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and depression!
✓ Heart Health
Omega-3 contributes towards the normal functioning and overall health of the heart. Due to its powerful anti-inflammatory action, omega-3 effectively reducing inflammatory markers and inflammation at a cellular level. Inflammation will damage the blood vessels that lead to heart diseases and strokes!
✓ Lower Triglyceride Levels
Triglycerides are a type of fat that is found within blood and have two purposes; they are taken up by cells and tissues and used for energy. Alternatively they are stored as fat. High levels of these fats have been linked with an increased risk of coronary artery disease and is sometimes a symptom of pre-diabetes or metabolic syndrome.
✓ Increase HDL (good cholesterol)
Cholesterol is a fatty substance known as a lipid which is vital for the normal functioning of the body. It is carried around the blood by proteins and when combined together they are called lipoproteins.
