Omega-3
essential fatty acids are just as their name
implies – 'essential' for ensuring that all
the systems in the body function normally. These
essential fatty acids must be obtained from the
diet because the body cannot manufacture these
important nutrients on its own. Eicosapentaenoic
acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are
forms of omega-3 essential fatty acids that can
be easily used by the body.
The body requires
omega-3 fatty acids for a variety of purposes.
They are essential for cardiovascular health,
and the body uses them to build healthy cell
structures and protect the myelin sheath that
surrounds nerve cells.
Omega-3 essential fatty
acids support the body's production of vital
hormone-like substances known as prostaglandins.
These prostaglandins regulate numerous functions
within the body, including healthy blood
pressure and cholesterol levels, the
inflammatory response, proper nerve function and
the reproductive and immune responses. EPA is an
important precursor of these prostaglandins
which are manufactured in the body from omega-3
fatty acids. DHA helps support proper
neurological development in the brain, for
optimal cognitive and visual functions.
Marine lipid
concentrates derived from cold-water fish such
as mackeral, sardines and trout are the primary
sources of the omega-3 essential fatty acids in
PhysioLogics' superior Omega-3 Complex. Our
advanced formula is tested for rancidity,
pesticides, and heavy metal contamination.
