SALMON OIL

If you experience problems with Infertility, hypertension, high cholesterol, inflammation or asthma, Salmon Oil may be a solution ...

Salmon oil contains EPA and DHA, two omega 3 essential fatty acids. EPA is an important fatty acid in the maintenance of cardiovascular health and the regulation of inflammation. EPA is a precursor to a series of chemicals whose job it is to regulate the inflammatory effects of arachidonic acid.

Too much arachidonic acid leads to pain and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis. Arachidonic acid also causes inflammation in arteries and leads to the development of atherosclerotic plaques.

Deficiency of EPA can result in cardiac arrhythmias, high cholesterol and excessive aging. EPA has been used to treat heart disease, arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. DHA is an essential component of the brain and central nervous system. It seems to concentrate in areas where there is lots of electrical activity such as the synaptosomes, where nerve cells communicate, and the photoreceptors of the eye. This is why a deficiency of DHA can result in poor brain development, attention/deficit hyperactivity disorder, learning disorders, memory problems and poor visual development. Fish oils may also support optimal cell growth.

Salmon contains more omega 3 rich fat than other fish species. Salmon supplements are usually found as standard soft gel capsules, containing 180 mg of EPA and 120mg of DHA per capsule. Some supplements, called pharmaceutical grade, contain up to twice as much EPA and DHA per capsule. Ensure your salmon oil supplement is not processed with heat because it damages the acids and creates free radicals. It is important to purchase a good quality fish oil supplement that has been tested for contaminants. Keep capsules away from heat to increase shelf life.
