SALMON OIL 1000mg.

Fish oil helps keep the arteries from being clogged

• Reduce low density lipoproteins (LDL's)
• Raise levels of high density lipoproteins (HDL's)
• Lower the fibrinogen (the blood clotting factor)

Thousands of studies have shown the benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil for the heart and circulatory system. Omega-3 fatty acids reduce the blood vessel constriction, keep platelets from becoming sticky, lower the fibrinogen (the blood clotting factor) as well as helping to reduce low density lipoproteins (LDL's) and raise levels of high density lipoproteins (HDL's). Fish oil helps keep the arteries from being clogged after balloon angioplasty.

Both EPA and DHA fatty acids (components of Omega-3 fatty acids) lower triglyceride levels. In a landmark study by William Harris, Ph.D., it was shown that diets rich in salmon and salmon oil reduced triglyceride levels by 33%. Upon evaluating seventeen clinical trials involving fish oil and blood pressure, researchers at Johns Hopkins Medical School found that consuming 3 grams of fish oil a day can significantly reduce blood pressure.

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to human health, but cannot be manufactured by the body, for this reason they must be obtained from food. Unless you are eating fatty acid fish at least 3-4 times per week you are likely not getting enough Omega-3 's in your diet. Since their discovery in the 1970's, Omega-3's have been shown to be essential to life and good health in every stage of life (even before birth). Found in every membrane of every cell in the body, Omega-3's help to ensure the cell membrane is equipped to do its job.

Omega-3 is not only critical for adults but is vital for healthy skin, healing of wounds, eyesight and brain development, healthy heart and growth and development of children. Infants whose mothers consume foods or supplements rich in omega-3 fatty acids have higher omega-3 levels than those whose mothers do not consume omega-3 rich foods or supplements.

Salmon are among the purest of all ocean fish and consistently test free from hazardous levels of contaminants. A short lived species of fish, salmon tend to be found in pristine waters and consequently grow free of hazardous levels of contaminants found in larger, longer-lived carnivorous species. The salmon oil is lightly pressed (like olive oil) from the flesh of wild salmon that live in the cold, clean waters of the Arctic Circle. Salmon oil has the perfect natural ratios of EPA and DHA your body desires.
