Omega 3 Fish Oils

Our Omega 3 Fish Oils is formulated with the essential fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to support cardiovascular health, cognitive function, mood, and overall health, while lowering triglycerides.

Essential fatty acids cannot be produced by the body, but are necessary for proper bodily function and overall health. Our Omega 3 Fish Oils formula is stabilized with natural antioxidants to maintain freshness, and is free of any detectable amounts of heavy metals like lead, mercury, and other impurities to avoid toxicity concerns. It's high potency of pure omega 3 fatty acids help support overall health by helping boost metabolism, reducing body fat, building muscle, decreasing inflammation, and enhancing body composition, while also improving insulin sensitivity.

Our Omega 3 Fish Oils is designed to complement our Weight Loss Plans, as it'll help enhance your body's overall function. It will also work with any other diet plan, as research suggests that omega 3 fatty acids can help reduce obesity and body weight by decreasing hunger sensations and increasing satiety in individuals undergoing an energy-restricted diet to enhance weight loss.

Research
Research suggests fish oil, rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docasahexaenoic acid (DHA) has been shown to have numerous health benefits.2 EPA is metabolized to produce eicosanoids, hormone-like agents which regulate cell division and growth, blood clotting, muscle activity, secretion of digestive fluids and hormones, while also affecting behaviour and mood.3 The other omega-3 fatty acid, DHA, is predominantly found in the central nervous system and is an important structural component of cell membranes throughout the brain and nerves.4 There is also an abundant amount of DHA in the retina of the eye.5

Several studies show that fish oil may help improve cardiovascular health by altering lipid metabolism, inducing haemodynamic changes, decreasing arrhythmias, modulating platelet function, improving endothelial function and inhibiting inflammatory pathways.6 Moreover, supplementation with DHA and EPA has been found to lower blood pressure and triglyceride levels in individuals with mild hypertension.7,8,9

Omega-3s have been shown to help lower serum cholesterol, decrease serum triglycerides; reduce platelet aggregation, and reduce blood pressure.<10,11 Omega-3 fatty acids reduce circulating levels of plasma triglycerides, which, like the ‘bad’ cholesterol (LDL), are associated with an elevated risk of heart disease, as demonstrated by a review in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.10

Consumption of essential fatty acids may also result in a number of neurological benefits. Research studies indicate that moderate intake of DHA and EPA helps support healthy cognitive function and that DHA may be beneficial for depression.12,13,14,15,16,17

Omega-3 fatty acids have also been shown to increase satiety, or feelings of fullness, in people who are overweight. Participants taking omega-3 fatty acid supplements reported lower hunger levels after meals.18 Omega 3 fatty acids help modulate serotonin synthesis19, a neurotransmitter heavily involved in controlling hunger. Low levels of serotonin have been associated with increased craving for sweets and carbohydrates. Normal serotonin levels are linked with satiety and craving control.20

Research has demonstrated that fish oil can help significantly reduce body fat mass and stimulate lipid oxidation. Findings indicate that the addition of omega 3 fatty acids to a weight loss program comprising caloric restriction may increase fat oxidation leading to greater improvement in body composition. It is believed that fish oil can alter expression of genes involved in the regulation of fat oxidation in adipose, liver, cardiac, intestinal and skeletal muscle tissue, and in the regulation of adipogenesis in adipose tissue. These effects on gene expression favour enhanced fat oxidation and reduced fat deposit.21

Research indicates that microorganisms in the gastrointestinal track can contribute to the prevention or development of several conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, colitis (inflammation of the colon) and Crohn’s disease. Omega 3 fatty acids can positively affect “gut microbiota,” reduce harmful microflora and chronic inflammation which contributes to the development of such chronic diseases. 22,23

Omega-3 fatty acids also offer health benefits for skin and hair. These fatty acids help improve the appearance and texture of skin and hair, and moisturize skin cells and hair follicles. Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammatory substances in the body, which helps to even out complexion and skin tone, reduce breakouts and help maintain skin elasticity. Fish oil further provides antioxidants, which prevent dry, brittle hair and dry, sagging skin caused by aging.24 Omega 3 Fish Oils provide high potency EPA and DHA, and are free of any detectable amounts of heavy metals like lead, mercury and other impurities to avoid toxicity concerns. The formula is tested for purity and quality and stabilized with antioxidants to maintain freshness.
