Fish oils are the main sources of the Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. Omega-3s are very important as the body can't produce these and only obtains them from the diet. Cold water fish such as herring, kipper, mackerel, pilchard, salmon, sardine, and trout are rich sources of these omega-3s.
Henry Blooms Odourless Natural Fish Oil is the catch of the day for value:
- Supports brain function and health
- Supports heart health
- Helps in the maintenance of healthy blood lipids
- Helps relieve the symptoms of mild arthritis
- Supports joint health and flexibility
- Supports eye health
As
the brain is made up of around 10% fat, a diet that is low in Omega-3s
may affect the fatty acid composition of cells in the brain which may
alter their function. EPA and DHA have anti-inflammatory activity by
reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins and inflammatory cytokines.
DHA
is a vital component of the membranes in cells, especially those in the
brain and retina (the nerve layer that lines the back of the eye which
senses light and transmits impulses through the optic nerve to the brain
‐ corresponds to the film in a camera). As such, DHA is necessary for
normal brain development and for the maintenance of normal brain
function throughout life. DHA is preferred by the brain to any other
fatty acid.
Due
to its anti-inflammatory action, Omega-3s have also shown significant
benefits in relation to joint stiffness and swelling caused by mild
arthritis.
