Fish oil contains two omega-3 fatty acids called EPA and DHA that are considered essential nutrients because our bodies cannot manufacture them but they are required for good health. EPA is used in the synthesis of hormone-like chemicals called prostaglandins that support cardiovascular health and optimal immune function. DHA is incorporated into cell membranes, where it helps promote their fluidity. DHA is especially abundant in the membranes of brain cells, and adequate levels of DHA have been shown to be important to maintain normal brain function throughout life.
Fish oil supplements not only support cardiovascular health but also joint, mental, gastrointestinal, and skin health.
Fish Oil is known for providing numerous health benefits, but there are situations in which higher dosages of fish oil are needed for therapeutic results. Nordic Naturals ProOmega Liquid is a high potency liquid fish oil that has a pleasantly smooth lemon flavor. This product is a perfect match for those who cannot or prefer not to swallow large amounts of fish oil capsules in order to receive therapeutic results. It may also be beneficial for those who have a difficult time digesting fish oil. One teaspoon of ProOmega Liquid provides 3 grams of EPA and DHA.
