Health Creation: Omega 3

Dose: 1 capsule daily

As science investigates Omega 3 essential fatty acids, their importance to our health becomes more and more apparent. It is now evident that all aspects of our health are influenced by our intake of these precious nutrients, whatever our age. That is why they are now added to baby foods and the Government recommends we eat oily fish at least twice a week. The drawback of this, however, is that much of our fresh fish contains high levels of pollutants such as mercury, organochlorines and heavy metals. This is one of the instances where supplements are safer than eating food sources. A cleaned, stable whole body fish oil supplement will bestow the benefits of omega 3 fatty acid nutrition without any risk of pollutants.

Oily fish contains 2 essential fatty acids:
eicosapentaeoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). It is these components that are responsible for the health-promoting benefits of oily fish.

EPA and DHA have anti-inflammatory properties and have beneficial activity in every organ and tissue in the body. They are particularly essential for healthy heart function, brain tissue, healthy lungs, skin, joints and circulation.

Although you can obtain omega 3 from plant sources such as flax oil, your body then has to convert the omega 3 into the metabolites EPA and DHA, and this conversion process is not always efficient. So, although you get benefit from the fatty acids in flax oil, if you are looking for the superior protection offered by EPA and DHA you are better advised to use fish oil for this purpose.

Health Creation Omega 3 contains a highpotency, clean and stable fish oil in an easy-to-take capsule. Each capsule contains 550mg EPA and DHA, which gives you an excellent and optimum level of intake.
