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:
- Decrease inflammation
- Lessen the pro-inflammatory
prostaglandin production
- Lessen fevers and
pain
- Heal inflamed tissues
such as animals with inflamed intestinal tracts and inflamed joints.
- Improve the immune
systems function.
- Be anti-neoplastic
(fights cancers)
- Enhance healing
of damaged tissues
- Treat Kidney disease
Supplementation
with EPA has been shown to support:
- Healthy eicosanoid
synthesis, thereby promoting the relief of minor pain
- Optimal cardiovascular
function
- Optimal joint,
bone, and retinal health?
- A healthy mood
and overall brain and nervous system function?
- Glucose and insulin
management
- A healthy immune
response
- Healthy skin
- Numerous aspects
of growth and development
Animals
might benefit from EPA-DHA 6:1 if they have:
- Allergies and/or
inflamed skin
- Gastrointestinal
disorders (diarrhea, Inflammatory Bowel Disease)
- Kidney Disease
- Arthritic condition
- Hip Dysplasia
- Autoimmune diseases
- Degenerative Myelopathy
