Ultra Omega 3™ - Fish Oils is a concentrated blend of natural fish oils (Omega-3 fatty acids). This special formulation is rich in the Omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These specific types of Omega-3 fatty acids are very important to healthy cardiovascular, neurological and immune system function.

Chances are that if you do not eat fish two or more times per week, you may not be getting adequate amounts of EPA and DHA that your heart, brain, and immune system need to function optimally. Individuals with certain medical conditions often need significantly more omega-3 fatty acids than can reasonably be obtained by eating fish; therefore, fish oil supplements are recommended by physicians and medical organizations such as the American Heart Association to ensure adequate omega-3 intake.

It is thought that EPA and DHA support adrenal and thyroid gland activity and increase the solubility of cholesterol deposited in the arterial walls. Many clinical studies suggest that EPA and DHA in fish oil help maintain normal blood triglyceride levels, reduce platelet stickiness, maintain elasticity of artery walls, stabilize heart rhythm, and assist in regulating blood pressure. They also keep blood from clotting too quickly. Studies also show reduced risk of heart attack and stroke. Bypass surgery and angioplasty patients reportedly benefit from fish oils. Clinical trials have shown that fish oils are safe for heart disease patients.  

EPA and DHA fight joint-damaging enzymes called collagenases and reduce inflammation, factors believed to play a role in arthritis as well as other aches and pains. Recent documentation suggests EPA supplementation has given relief for rheumatoid arthritis by reducing joint stiffness, soreness, and improving flexibility.

Inadequate amounts of omega-3 fatty acids can subtly alter brain chemistry. Restoring the body's natural balance of these important fats may help alleviate many types of depression. Fish oil supplements may also be helpful for those who do not respond to traditional antidepressants. Studies have shown positive benefits for patients with bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness), schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s Disease. Increased ability to handle stress, improved memory, and enhanced cognitive function are among the reported benefits.

Omega-3 fatty acids play a significant role on fat metabolism. Dietary supplementation may be recommended for overweight individuals.  Other benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids include maintaining a healthy prostate gland.

Suggested dosage: 1 - 3 softgels daily is recommended for general use; however, other dosages of softgels may be recommended by physicians for patients predisposed to neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s or bipolar disorder, coronary artery disease, diabetes, or rheumatoid arthritis. The amount can be divided and taken several times per day or taken all at once. Please consult your doctor for specific individual recommendations. Ultra Omega-3™ Natural Fish Oil is safe for adults and children.
