Benefits of Omega 3
Fish Oil Supplements
https://www.retailpharmaindia.com | | sales@retailpharmaindia.com
• Fish oil's benefits are due to its omega-3 fats that lower
triglycerides and the bad cholesterol, reduce anxiety and
prevent Alzheimer's, and lower cancer risk of the breast,
colon, and prostate.
• They can also replace the anti-inflammatory drugs used to
treat arthritis. If you're diabetic or on blood-thinners, avoid fish
oil. If you are not, take it with antioxidants in a dose not more
than 3 g a day unless so advised by your doctor.
• Some Fats Are Good, Such As The Omega-3 Fats
https://www.retailpharmaindia.com | | sales@retailpharmaindia.com
• These PUFAs or omega-3 fatty acids include
eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA), two of the three essential omega-3 fatty acids the
body cannot produce and must derive from food sources like
fish or fish oil, the third one being alpha-linolenic acid (ALA),
derived from plant sources like nuts and seeds. The human
body can convert some of the ALA into EPA and DHA but not
efficiently or in sufficient quantities.

• You Find Omega-3 In Fish And Fish Oil
• Of course, whole fish is most beneficial. But these days,
fish also contains a high level of mercury in thanks to
pollution.
• Hence, the oil extracted from the tissues of cold-water
oily fish like mackerel, sardine, late trout, herring,
albacore tuna, and salmon, which is sold as syrups or
pills, remains the source of choice for these omega-3
fatty acids.
https://www.retailpharmaindia.com | | sales@retailpharmaindia.com
• Until recently, fish oil was touted to be a panacea thanks to its
omega-3 content, but more and more findings suggest that it
may not be an absolute champion after all.
• Let’s take a look at the purported health benefits of omega 3
fatty acids.
https://www.retailpharmaindia.com | | sales@retailpharmaindia.com
Benefits of Fish Oil
1. For The Heart
• Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide.
• Studies have shown that people who eat a lot of fish have
much lower rates of heart disease.
• There are a number of risk factors for heart disease, and
many of these appear to be reduced by fish or fish oil
consumption.

Benefits of Fish Oil
2. Lower Cholesterol And Blood Pressure
• It can increase levels of HDL (the "good") cholesterol.
However, it does not appear to reduce levels of LDL (the
"bad") cholesterol
3. For The Brain And The Nerves
• Your brain is made up of nearly 60% fat, and much of this fat
is omega-3 fatty acids. Therefore, omega-3s are essential for
normal brain function (27, 28).
• In fact, some studies have shown that people with certain
mental disorders have lower omega-3 blood levels
https://www.retailpharmaindia.com | | sales@retailpharmaindia.com
Benefits of Fish Oil
4. Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
• A number of behavioral disorders in children, such as
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), involve
hyperactivity and inattention.
• Given that omega-3s make up a significant proportion of the
brain, getting enough of them may be important for preventing
behavioral disorders in early life.
https://www.retailpharmaindia.com | | sales@retailpharmaindia.com
Benefits of Fish Oil
5. Alzheimer’s Disease
• Studies have shown that fish oil and omega-3
supplementation can improve symptoms of depression.
• Moreover, some studies have shown that oils rich in EPA help
reduce depressive symptoms more than DHA.
6. Anxiety And Depression
• Depression is predicted to become the second leading cause
of disease burden globally by 2030.
• Interestingly, people with major depression appear to have
lower blood levels of omega-3s.
https://www.retailpharmaindia.com | | sales@retailpharmaindia.com
Benefits of Fish Oil
7. For The Bones And The Joints
• During old age, bones can begin to lose their essential
minerals, making them more likely to break. This can lead to
diseases such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.
• Calcium and vitamin D are known to be very important for
bone health, but some studies have suggested that omega-3
fatty acids can also be beneficial.
https://www.retailpharmaindia.com | | sales@retailpharmaindia.com
Benefits of Fish Oil
8. For The Eye | For The Skin
• Similarly to the brain, omega-3 fats make up an important
part of the structure of the eye. Evidence has shown that
people who don't get enough omega-3s have a greater risk of
eye diseases
9. For The Immune System
• Long chain omega-3 fatty acids may help to boost the
immune system by enhancing the functioning of immune cells,
according to new research.
