Support for many aspects of health, especially heart health. Particularly helpful to individuals with inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and eczema.
Fish Oil
The oil of cold-water fish such as salmon and mackerel is a rich source of EPA and DHA, which are metabolites of Omega-3. Hundreds of studies have proved the usefulness of this fatty acid in preventing and treating heart disease. A link has also been found between brain function and EPA/DHA. Healthy brain development in newborns depends on EPA and DHA, preferably from mother's milk, making it important for Mom to have plentiful stores. At the other end of life, degenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases appear to be correlated with low levels of these nutrients. Fish oil has also been shown to be effective in reducing the pain of rheumatoid arthritis. In one double-blind, placebo-controlled study, arthritis patients taking 1.8 gm of EPA from fish oil daily experienced reduced morning stiffness and sore joints. Dozens of studies have confirmed these results. Flax Seed Oil Flax seed oil is the only known plant source of Omega-3, making it the ideal source of this nutrient for vegans and individuals with fish allergies. Well-known naturopath and author Michael T. Murray (Encyclopedia of Nutritional Supplements, The Healing Power of Herbs) is so convinced of the importance of this oil that he recommends that all individuals, regardless of their state of health, take one tablespoon per day. Borage Oil Although not as well known a source of GLA as evening primrose and black currant oils, borage oil is actually the richest-known source of this Omega-6 metabolite. Studies have shown GLA to be therapeutic for sufferers of eczema and pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS). In one study, 28 patients with eczema were given 180 mg of borage oil a day for 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks. By 8 and 12 weeks, respectively, the researchers noted reductions of 52 and 63 percent in symptoms. PMS is believed by many researchers to be caused by an imbalance in the body's prostaglandins, manufacture of which is dependent upon EFA. Many women find supplementation with GLA to relieve their PMS symptoms.
