![]() In Western medicine, thousands of studies show the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil for the heart and circulatory system. These nutrients help reduce low density lopoproteins (LDL’s) and raise levels of good high density lipoproteins (HDL’s). These fatty acids also reduce blood vessel constriction, lower fibrinogen (the blood clotting factor), and keep platelets from becoming too sticky. Fish oil helps keep arteries from being clogged after a procedure known as balloon angioplasty. High triglyceride levels are associated with heart disease. Both EFA and DHA fatty acids lower triglyceride levels. A landmark study by William Harris, PhD, showed that diets rich in salmon and salmon oil reduced triglyceride levels by 33% below controls. Seventeen clinical trials involving fish oil and blood pressure were evaluated by researchers at John Hopkins Medical School. They found that consuming 3 grams of fish oil a day can significantly reduce blood pressure. ![]() Until now all fish oil capsules were pretty much the same. However, NATURAL FACTORS has introduced a salmon oil derived from Wild Alaskan SOCKEYE Salmon. The difference is that until now salmon oil capsules include more than just salmon - they were pumped up with other fish oils. NATURAL FACTORS Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon Oil Capsules are pure salmon oil, with the fatty acid ratio found in free-swimming salmon. How do they work? EPA - helps make the platelets in blood less sticky which in turn could help prevent the build-up of plaque otherwise leading to a heart attack or stroke. DHA - may help stabilize heart rhythm; potentially important for people recovering from heart attacks. May help regulate cell membrane functions involved in transmitting signals among brain cells. What are the potential benefits? Heart disease control In Chicago's Western Electric Study (over 2,000 men) the risk of death from heart attack was half the usual rate among those who ate an average of about 8 ounces of fish (2 servings) a week. Other recent research suggests that just one serving a week of "fattier" fish, like salmon or mackerel, could cut the chance of cardiac arrest by 50% in folks with weakened hearts. Rheumatoid arthritis relief Some patients taking omega-3 supplements report less joint pain and less morning stiffness. There does not seem a benefit with the more common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis. The American College of Rheumatology recommends eating fish more often, but is holding judgment on supplements until more is known about long term safety. Healthy brain function These fats may be helpful in mood and brain disturbances. For example, recent research at Purdue University showed that boys with attention deficit disorder who had lower levels of omega-3 fats in their brains had more behavior problems. Studies are underway to see if omega-3 supplements can improve the boys' behavior. It clearly seems to work for some. The researchers advise adding more fish into children's diets until more is known about the long term safety of supplements. Colitis fighter Bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis lead to pain, weight loss, and tremendous suffering. Washington University researchers in St. Louis saw dramatic improvement with fish oil supplements, including weight gain, less inflammation, and less need for medications such as prednisone. Blood triglyceride control Fish oil supplements may be helpful in lowering blood triglyceride levels in patients with high blood levels. Cancer fighter Omega-3s suppress tumor growth in animals. Japanese women have only a third as much breast cancer as American women. Heavy use of foods such as fish and soy in the Japanese diet may be responsible. A recent study of 25 women showed that supplemental fish oil could change the ratio of fats in breast tissue. Precautions with supplements? Hindered blood clotting. Large doses of fish oil could result in rare strokes or other bleeding disorders. This is a concern for anyone taking other blood thinning agents such as coumarin or aspirin. Consult with your physician or Wegmans pharmacist if you're taking fish oil supplements in addition to other drugs. How much omega-3s? Americans now get 700-1,400 milligrams weekly. The estimate for therapeutic benefits is 3,500 milligrams weekly. There is no official recommendation for omega-3s. The estimate is based on amount needed, for example, to lower triglycerides. WILD ALASKAN SOCKEYE SALMON have a high oil content due to thousands of years of natural selection providing them with the fat reserves necessary to migrate and spawn thousands of miles. The oil contains high levels of Omega-3s-- The Unsaturated fat that helps fend off heart disease, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, breast cancer, migraines, and other health problems. Most commercially available fish oil comes from farmed salmon which are given hormones and antibiotics. Their convenient, pelleted food is made from animal by-products instead of the live plankton, krill and algea that wild fish dine on. Wild fish, however, swimming in the deep, pristine Alaskan waters will contain high quality omega-3 fatty acids with no antibiotic or hormone residues.
