Omega 3 Fish Oil 1000 mg 100 softgels: K Omega 3 EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids) are essential for healthy arteries, blood pressure already in normal range, and triglyceride levels. The essential fatty acids in fish oil are believed to be the reasons why Greenland Inuit (whose diet is mainly fish) have a low incidence of cardiovascular or circulation problems.Fish oil contains EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), both omega-3 fatty acids.These fatty acids keep blood triglycerides, associated with increased risk of heart disease, in check, and may inhibit the progression of atherosclerosis. EPA and DHA keep blood from clotting too quickly, and thus and may help protect against chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.EPA and DHA also have anti-inflammatory activity, and so are commonly used to help with inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis sufferers have been shown to have decreased levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which can be replenished with fish oil.
