Super EPA Omega 3 Fish Oil Supplement

Studies about omega-3 fatty acids (available in fish oil supplements) are so impressive that the Federal government has stated that fish oil can help save lives. In a report issued on April 22, 2004, an agency of the National Institutes of Health stated:

"Fish oil can help reduce deaths from heart disease." 1

Supportive research shows that the consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil supplements and fish consumption may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

The problem is that the American diet is deficient in beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, and loaded with dangerous trans fats. Increasing consumption of omega-3, such as those found in cold-water fish can mitigate this imbalance. 2

There are several factors attributed to fish oil's beneficial effects. One recent government report cited the effect of fish oil on lowering triglycerides as a reason why fish oil reduces heart and blood vessel disease. 3 Another beneficial mechanism of fish oil is to protect healthy blood flow in arteries. 4,5,6,7 Other researchers have postulated that the most important effect of fish oil is its capacity to markedly reduce the pro-inflammatory cytokines and prostaglandins that contribute to a host of related problems. 8,9,10

The consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids provides health benefits, but it can also save billions in healthcare costs. A study conducted by The Lewin Group, "elderly consumers could save billions from a reduction in the occurrence in coronary heart disease through the daily intake of omega-3 fatty acids" like those found in the Super EPA fish oil supplement.
