Fish Oil 1000mg by Natures Aid from £7.99

Although fish oils have been taken for many years by fishing communities it is as recent as the 1960s when the full potential of fish oils was revealed. Two Danish scientists, Jorn Dyerberg and H.O. Bang travelled to Greenland to study Eskimos in their own environment. These two scientists discovered tat although Eskimos ate large quantities of fat they did not suffer heart problems. This was attributed to the high proportion of fish in their diets and to the unique nature of the polyunsaturated essential fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) found in many cold-water fish. Essential fatty acids like EPA and DHA are termed ‘essential’ because they are needed by the body, but cannot be produced. They must be obtained from the diet or supplements. Fish Oil 1000mg

Joint Health - trials show that Fish Oil helps people with rheumatoid arthritis, having an anti-inflammatory and immune modulating effect. Blood pressure - EPA and DHA reduce blood ‘stickiness’ and hence the resistance to flow. Coronary Heart Disease - lowers serum triglycerides (harmful blood fats), reduces irregular heartbeats and the risk of blood clots. Brain development and health - the EPA and DHA in fish oils are essential for brain development in the foetus and infant and for efficient normal function throughout life. Mood - has shown protection against post-natal depression and improved aspects of behaviour in children.

Fish Oil is derived from various fish such as pilchards, sardines, mackerel and herring. It contains a much higher percentage of EPA and DHA than Cod Liver Oil but only low levels of vitamins A and D. EPA and DHA are omega-3 fatty acids, which are converted in the body to produce prostaglandins. These affect a wide variety of physiological processes due to their modulation effect on the action of hormones. It is thought that EPA and DHA may lower serum triglycerides (harmful blood fats), reduce the risk of blood clots and irregular heartbeat, have anti-inflammatory properties and support the immune system. DHA is essential for normal brain development in unborn babies and for normal brain function throughout life.

Health Warnings: Short-term, temporary elevations in blood sugar and cholesterol may occur when taking high doses of fish oil. After this initial period, the trend is normally for a reduction in cholesterol and triglycerides. People taking anticoagulant therapy such as warfarin should not exceed the recommended usage rate.
