Bioclinic OptiMega-3 180 softgels

Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil improve a number of cardiovascular risk factors, including lowering of atherosclerotic burden, reducing triglyceride levels and blood pressure, and improving platelet and vascular function. EPA and DHA are also essential to the resolution of inflammatory processes as well as tissue repair, by providing the substrates for anti-inflammatory prostaglandins, resolvins and protectins. These essential fatty acids are incorporated into membrane phospholipids, affecting cellular membrane organization, ion permeability, intracellular signalling, gene expression, and the activity of membrane-associated proteins. In clinical trials, omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil have reduced rates of all-cause mortality, cardiac and sudden death, as well as stroke. Benefits have also been shown for improving overall health, as well as for a wide variety of cardiovascular, inflammatory, and autoimmune conditions, ranging from asthma, cardiac arrhythmias, eczema, and inflammatory bowel disease, to pregnancy and breastfeeding support, rheumatoid arthritis, and neurodegenerative disease. Purified fish oils are free of many contaminants, such as heavy metals and PCBs, which continue to be a growing problem associated with the consumption of fish.

Cautions : Individuals with an allergy to fish or seafood should use caution, though fish oil is rarely allergenic. Both benefits and risks have been documented for those at risk of, or being treated for cardiac arrhythmias, with close supervision indicated. Pregnant and nursing women are often advised to consume a minimum of 300 mg DHA per day, and although DHA is recognized as essential to neurological development, no dosage recommendations have been made for children or infants. The antihypertensive effect of fish oil may potentially reduce the need or dosage for blood pressure medications, and patients should be closely monitored. Because fish oil has an antithrombotic effect, caution is advised for those on anticlotting, antiplatelet or anticoagulant medications, or those at high risk of bleeding. At doses greater than 3 g per day, hyperglycemia has been observed in diabetics and those with hypertriglyceridemia, and close monitoring of patients on antidiabetic medication is recommended. Benefit has been shown when fish oil is taken with statins, SSRIs, anticonvulsant and cytotoxic medications.
