Indications:

All fish oil products are not the same and many contain oils that counter the effectiveness of the product. Most fish oils, also called Omega 3

supplements, contain a variety of other oils that counteract or lessen the effect of the most important Omega 3 oil, Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). This product has a very high level of EPA to DHA, which should make it work far better than other Fish Oil supplements.

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is the most important Omega 3 oil as it has been shown to:

  1. Decrease inflammation
  2. Lessen the pro-inflammatory prostaglandin production
  3. Lessen fevers and pain
  4. Heal inflamed tissues such as animals with inflamed intestinal tracts and inflamed joints.
  5. Improve the immune systems function.
  6. Be anti-neoplastic (fights cancers)
  7. Enhance healing of damaged tissues
  8. Treat Kidney disease

Supplementation with EPA has been shown to support:

  1. Healthy eicosanoid synthesis, thereby promoting the relief of minor pain
  2. Optimal cardiovascular function
  3. Optimal joint, bone, and retinal health?
  4. A healthy mood and overall brain and nervous system function?
  5. Glucose and insulin management
  6. A healthy immune response
  7. Healthy skin
  8. Numerous aspects of growth and development
