Science & Research
Verifiable Science
Fish oil and omega-3 fatty acids EPA/DHA (eicosapentaenoic acid/docosahexaenoic acid) have been associated with numerous benefits. EPA and DHA from fish oil encourage cardiovascular health by supporting healthy lipid metabolism, maintaining healthy blood flow and promoting healthy platelet function.1 A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 223 individuals, indicated that fish oil supplementation promotes healthy arterial function.2 In addition, studies indicate these oils help maintain blood vessel integrity. One study also suggests EPA may moderate protein kinase C, supporting arterial smooth muscle cells.3 Fish oil is important for optimal joint function. It moderates prostaglandin and leukotriene production, supporting healthy connective tissue. It also plays a role in moderating neutrophil activity and supporting joint comfort.4 A double-blind, placebo-controlled, prospective study involving 66 subjects revealed fish oils modulate immune mediator activity as well as provide support for joint flexibility.5‡
