Why
Take WellFX Omega-3 Fish Oil?
Omega-3 fatty acids are good for the heart. The omega-3
oils increase the concentrations of good cholesterol (high density lipoproteins,
HDL) while decreasing the concentrations of bad cholesterol (triglycerides).
In addition, eating omega-3-rich food will result in a moderate decrease
in total cholesterol level.
The human body metabolizes omega-3 fats into docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which play a role in the make-up of brain
cells.
Proper levels may help modulate depression and mood, high blood pressure,
concentration and attention deficit disorders, while deficiencies in EPA
and DHA may be linked to dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
Hundreds of studies have shown that diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids
decrease risk of heart attacks, strokes, and abnormal heart rhythms.
Women who are pregnant or breast feeding should maintain adequate levels
of DHA to prevent premature birth and to aid in fetal brain development.
Because omega-3 fatty acids inhibit the action of inflammatory prostaglandins
and leukotrienes, they can help control arthritis symptoms. Significant
reduction in the number of tender joints and morning stiffness, as well
as an increase in grip strength, have been observed in patients taking
fish oil capsules.Studies have shown that patients taking fish oil supplements
for rheumatoid arthritis require fewer pain medications; some are able
to discontinue their nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory treatment.
