Healthy Heart Fish Oil Omega-3 Fatty Acids 150 count $ *Quantity Discounts Available Click "Add to Cart" & Change Quantity Healthy Heart Omega-3 Fatty Acids - conveniently dosed, this formula contains all of the eicosopentanaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) your body needs on a daily basis to balance omega-6 fatty acid intake to promote a healthy lifestyle. An over abundance or imbalance of omega-6 fatty acids, common to the American diet, promotes chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, heart attacks, stroke, asthma,

rheumatoid arthritis and various cancers. To state further, omega-3 fatty acids provide a balance to the omega-6 fatty acids while specifically enhancing the EPA/arachidonic acid ratio and promoting heart health by assisting the integrity of cholesterol synthesis including improvement in the LDL/HDL and HDL/total cholesterol ratios. Healthy Heart Omega-3 Fatty Acids are an exceptional blend of pharmaceutical grade cold water marine lipids obtained from small fish. The essential fatty acids (EPA and DHA) have been shown to enhance heart health, brain function and prostate health. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to be beneficial at the cellular level enabling a boost to the immune system as well as provide a mechanism to decrease inflammation. Specific to the brain, evidence notes improved cognitive abilities including the possible avoidance of Alzheimer's disease and decreased depression associated with anxiety, sadness and decreased libido (1). Relevant to the prostate, omega 3s have been shown to inhibit an aggressive form of prostate cancer that is unresponsive to hormone manipulation (2). Based on the fact that all men will get prostate cancer if they live long enough speaks to the necessity of including Healthy Heart Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet. Healthy Heart Omega-3 Fatty Acids are essential to systemic health while cholesterol free and assayed for peroxides as well as environmental contaminants (like mercury and PCBs) to ensure quality and purity. Vitamin E and ascorbyl palmitate have been added to help protect against lipid oxidation and maintain freshness. Footnote: 1. Archives of General Psychiatry, Vol. 59: 913-919, 2002 Footnote: 2.

Omega 3 contains the essential fat omega-3, the most beneficial form containing two fatty acids, EPA and DHA, can only be found in fish oil. These two fatty acids are essential to fight or prevent both physical and mental disease. The tremendous health benefits of fish oil would best be derived from eating fatty cold-water fish, but almost all fish are contaminated with unsafe levels of mercury and other contaminants[iv] and I advise against eating fish unless it has been lab-tested.

Both the omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids belong to a group of polyunsaturated fats called 'essential' because they are necessary to life and to health yet we cannot make them in the body - they must be obtained from diet. They cannot be inter-converted and both must be present in the diet in a proper balance for good health.

Their differences lie in their chemical structure and their roles in the body.

As polyunsaturated fatty acids, both the omega-6 and the omega-3 families have more than one double bond in the carbon chain. All fatty acids in the omega-6 family contain their first double bond between the 6th and7th carbon atoms (counted from the methyl (CH3) terminal carbon atom and the omega-3 family of fatty acids have their first double bond between the 3rd and 4th carbon atom.

Both families of fatty acids are vital components of membranes and are used by the body in the production of eicosanoids, a vast range of highly bioactive substances (prostaglandins, leukotrienes, lipoxins) but the activity of these metabolites varies. For example, the eicosanoids derived from omega-6 are in general more active (or reactive) than those produced from omega-3 and omega-6 is aggregatory whereas oega-6 is pro-aggregatory.

Basically, the omega-3s have anti-inflammatory benefits and help prevent heart disease, whereas omega-6s lower blood cholesterol and support the skin.

EFAs are involved in normal physiology, including:
• regulating pressure in the eye, joints, and blood vessels, and mediating immune response
• regulating bodily secretions and their viscosity
• dilating or constricting blood vessels
• regulating collateral circulation
• directing endocrine hormones to their target cells
• regulating smooth muscles and autonomic reflexes
• being primary constituents of cell membranes
• regulating the rate of cell division
• maintaining the fluidity and rigidity of cellular membranes
• regulating the inflow and outflow of substances to and from cells
• transporting oxygen from red blood cells to the tissues
• maintaining proper kidney function and fluid balance
• keeping saturated fats mobile in the blood stream
• preventing blood cells from clumping together (blood clots that can be a cause of heart attack and stroke)
• mediating the release of inflammatory substances from cells that may trigger allergic conditions
• regulating nerve transmission and communication
• If the diet is deficient in either omega-6 or omega-3 long-term degenerative illnesses will result.

 

• To optimize the omega 3 intake, Dr. Wheeler recommends 5 capsules per day on "odd" calendar days and 4 per day on "even" days.
