Fish Oil

There is significant evidence that omega*3 fatty acids have a beneficial effect on heart arrhythmias (irregular heart beat), which can lead to a decreased risk of death from cardiovascular disease. New analyses indicate that regular fish oil intake could correspond to as much as a 5% reduction in population-wide sudden deaths.

FISH OIL LOWERS HEART RATE A meta-analysis published in the journal Circulation further confirms the association between omega*3 fatty acids and heart health. Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health compiled statistical data from thirty studies published from ***6 to ***5. These studies involved nearly 1,**0 individuals treated with fish oil or placebo for up to one year. The average combined dose of EPA and DHA was 3.5 grams/day for an average of 8 weeks. The overall estimated change in heart rate of those treated with fish oil was 1.6 beats per minute.

Heart, bone, joint, skin, brain, mood—you name it, omega*3 fatty acids help support it. Omega*3s are critical for maintaining healthy cells by providing the lipids needed for healthy cellular membranes. Cells are the foundation of every part of our body, so omega*3s are needed for health at the most basic level.
