Microgenics^® 1500mg Odourless Fish Oil

It is well established that the omega 3’s in 1500mg Odourless Fish Oil can also help lower LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels in healthy people. Fish oils are especially high in the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) which are precursors to eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are known to induce chemical changes in the body that produce an anti-inflammatory effect¹.

Omega 3 is classed as an essential fatty acid because the body cannot produce it, nor can it convert omega-6 fatty acids, which are plentiful in the Western diet, into omega-3 fatty acids. The diet of our ancestors was less dense in calories, being higher in fiber, rich in fruits, vegetables, lean meat, and fish. As a result, the diet was lower in total fat and saturated fat, but contained equal amounts of omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids.

Today this ratio is approximately 10:1 to 20:1, Western diets are deficient in omega-3 fatty acids compared with the diet on which humans evolved and their genetic patterns were established²,³.

Once Fish oils are ingested, omega-3 is distributed to every cell in the body where it is involved in a number of physiological processes, including regulation of inflammation and cardiovascular health, cell membranes, skin, immune, hormonal, metabolic, neuronal, and visual functions⁴.

Fish Oil supplements provide the following health benefits:

• Temporary relief of the pain of arthritis
• May help reduce joint inflammation and swelling associated with arthritis
• May help increase joint mobility associated with arthritis
• Maintain health of capillaries
• Aids, assists or helps in the maintenance or improvement of general well-being

Inflammation and Arthritis

• 1500mg Odourless Fish Oil may provide temporarily relief of pain associated with arthritis
• Helps to reduce inflammation, joint swelling, and increase joint mobility.
• Fish oil suppresses the production of pro-inflammatory cell-signaling chemicals known as inflammatory cytokines
• It is well established that fish oils exert an anti-inflammatory effect in the body. Fish oil competes with arachidonic acid for the enzymes cyclo-oxygenase and lipoxygenase, resulting in a reduced production of pro-inflammatory metabolites such as prostaglandins series 2 and luekotrienes series 4
• A meta-analysis (a study that combines the results of several studies) was performed on the analgesic effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation for inflammatory joint pain. The results suggested that omega-3 fish oils are an attractive adjunctive treatment for joint pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis⁵.

Cardiovascular and Cholesterol Health

• Fish oils help to support heart and cardiovascular health. Fish oil inhibits triglyceride synthesis in the liver in a dose dependent manner, thereby assisting to maintain healthy triglyceride levels in healthy people.
• One clinical study in post menopausal women found supplementation with Fish oil reduced triglyceride concentration by an average of 26%⁶.
• MICROgenics® 1500mg Odourless Fish Oil is tested for mercury.

Nervous System Health

• Fish oil plays an important role in the maintenance of the nervous system.
• Fish oil may help maintain concentration and support the functioning and memory in the ageing brain.
• MICROgenics® Eco-Omega® Fish Oil may provide relief from irritability and fatigue

Skin and Cell Membrane Health

• Omega-3 is required for the structural integrity of all cell membranes. A deficiency of can lead to dryness, scaling and redness of the skin associated with minor skin conditions such as eczema.
