Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation
DESCRIPTION
The OMEGA LIFE-3 RESOLV formula leverages key metabolic pathways to stimulate the creation of resolvins, metabolic byproducts which help maintain healthy inflammation levels in the body. OmegaLife-3 Resolv combines concentrated fish oil with proprietary ingredients for a powerful combination of 1000 mg EPA and 500 mg DHA for optimal health and wellness.
BENEFITS AND RESEARCH
Clinical research suggests fish oil can help support proper brain and eye health. In 2002 the FDA approved supplementation of DHA in infant formula. DHA is potentially important in fetal and infant neural development, in that DHA and arachidonic acid have been shown to be incorporated into brain and retinal cell membranes—particularly during the third trimester of pregnancy and early infant life.
DHA is the predominant structural fatty acid in the central nervous system and in the retina of the eyes.
EPA supports the synthesis of important compounds in the body. EPA is the precursor of thromboxane and leukotriene, compounds involved in supporting healthy circulation. They also promote healthy blood vessels.
Evidence is accumulating that increasing intakes of EPA and DHA can decrease the risk thrombosis, decrease triglyceride levels, and decrease inflammation.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has stated, "Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease."1
SUGGESTED USAGE
Take four softgels daily with water.
