Omega-3 Fish Oil: Your Must Have Supplement

When it comes to deciding on daily supplement selection, the options are endless. Yet, there is one supplement that stands out as a non-negotiable – fish oil.

The key ingredient of fish oil is Omega-3 fatty acids, an essential compound which the body cannot manufacture on its own. Another fatty acid which the body is unable to produce is Omega-6. To function optimally, we need to get these compounds through our diet, ideally in a 1:1 ratio. However, the emphasis on wheat-based products in the modern Western diet has seen a drastic imbalance. In fact, most people are walking around with an omega fatty acid ratio of around 20:1 in favour of omega-6.

That means that most of us have a chronic shortage of omega-3 fatty acids in our bodies. That imbalance has a lot to do with the general feeling of lethargy, tendency toward inflammation, digestive upset and cardiovascular inefficiency that many people experience today. By taking a fish oil supplement, you will be providing your body with the essential nutrient that it needs to give you back your health. 

Why from Fish?

While plant sources of Omega-3, such as flaxseed will provide you with Omega-3, the body must convert it into DHA and EFA, and that conversion can be difficult for some people. However, fish oil provides the body with DHA and EPA in a natural form that can be very easily assimilated.

10 Key Fish Oil Benefits

  • Lowers blood triglycerides – high levels of triglycerides are a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
  • Reduces the likelihood of blood clots – fish oil prevents blood platelets from sticking together and forming blood clots.
  • Lowers mild blood pressure – fish oil helps to lower high blood pressure resulting from high cholesterol and hardening of the arteries.
  • Reduces inflammation from rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and gout – fish oil health benefits come from the DHA and EPA that reduce the amount of inflammation-causing substances.
  • Lowers Alzheimer’s risk – research has found that fish oil helps to protect the nervous system, thus lowering the Alzheimer’s risk.
  • Reduces depression – a lack of DHA has been linked to higher incidences of depression. Fish oil provides that essential DHA in abundance.
  • Improves immune system function – fish oil fortifies the body’s natural defences against every disease and has even been linked to lowering the risk of breast cancer and prostate cancer.
  • Increases protein synthesis – by speeding up protein synthesis, fish oil plays a key part in the development of new muscle. As well as beefing up protein concentration within the cell, it also increases the size of the muscle cell,
  • Relieves muscle soreness – fish oil has been shown to lower the level of muscle soreness following exercise. That’s because it lowers the secretion of inflammatory molecules after exercise.
  • Improved brain function – fish oil has been proven to increase general cognitive function, including speeding up reaction time and memory recall.
