Fish Oil Information

Have you wondered why fish oil is highly recommended for a healthy diet?  This article will help you understand this supplement ... by Carrie North, a writer specializing in nutrition and health issues

Fish-oil is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids--eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These acids have been proven to reduce inflammation in the body.

The fish from which the omega 3 fatty acids are extracted do not actually produce these acids. They acquire and accumulate the omega 3 fatty acids in their body by consuming microalgae that contain these acids.

Herrings and sardines are predatory fish that are also a rich source of omega 3 fatty acids. The Herrings and Sardines eat other fish which have accumulated omega 3 fatty acids by eating microalgae.

FDA Caution

Mackerel, lake trout, albacore tuna and salmon which are predatory fishes at the top of the food chain are not recommended for consumption in large quantities by the FDA because they accumulate toxins in addition to the omega 3 from their food.

Patented stripping technology

In the context of Omega 3 content,  fish-oil is gaining importance. The omega 3 acid extracted from the predatory fish is purified and the toxins removed before the product is marketed. The process of purification is patented in a process called stripping technology.

The amazing fish-oil is extracted from the body of the fish and the liver is not used. The liver is rich in Vitamin A which can be dangerous to the human body in large quantities.

• Research also has demonstrated that the oil has anti-inflammatory properties and is believed to regulate cholesterol.
  
  
• Studies have indicated that levels of omega 3 impact upon the psychology of people too. People who consumed Fish oil were less violent than those who did not consume fish-oil or products that were rich in omega 3.
  
  
• The American heart association strongly recommends a daily dose for people with coronary disease.
  
  
• The US National Institutes of health encourage patients with hypertrigyceridemia, secondary cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure to consume fish oil as essential for health.
  
  
• Fish-oil has also been found to protect the brain against cognitive disorders.

While fish-oil is a wonderful health supplement, if you are under treatment for any illness we recommend  consulting your physician before adding any supplement to your diet.
