What is it about fish oil that gives rise to these health benefits?


Fish oil is packed with a variety of beneficial nutrients including omega-3 EFAs (essential fatty acids) ranging in complexity and functional properties for key parts of the body.

The body cannot readily produce these omega-3 EFAs on its own. They need to be introduced to the body through food and dietary supplements known to contain high levels of omega-3. We will be discussing these omega-3 EFAs and their key roles in more detail later on in this document.

WHY IS FISH OIL SO IMPORTANT?

Every effect has a cause. One thing leads to another – it’s a fact. In terms of aging and deteriorating health conditions, your body’s main culprit is almost always inflammation – which fish oil helps fight.

What makes inflammation so deadly is that it sneaks up on you and over time, the cumulative effect is a chain reaction of various health conditions ranging from arthritis and chronic pain to more serious issues such as atherosclerosis, aneurisms, strokes, brain disorders and ultimately, death.




The key is to accept that everyone has a certain amount of inflammation in the body, but often with no symptoms. More often than not it is the underlying cause behind sudden unexpected fatal heart attacks.

  • Fish oil fights inflammation

    Most scientists and health professionals believe that it is the anti-inflammatory properties of fish oil that enable it to provide so many health benefits particularly in areas of the: heart, brain, joints, skin, immune system, vision and, digestion.

    However, like any nutritional product on the market today there are good and bad ones. Fish oil is no exception. With a bad one you may be unwittingly introducing substances into your body that you do not want, for example: mercury, PCBs or even increasing your load of free radicals. You may also only be getting minimal anti- inflammatory benefits - or even none at all.

    You owe it to yourself to use only the purest, and thus the safest omega-3 fish oil available, plus it also has to be the most effective in order for you to receive the benefits above. If you and your family want the best product possible there are certain guidelines that you need to follow.
The Guidelines For Fish Oil Buyer
  1. Anti-inflammatory properties: Does your current fish oil have the best possible anti-inflammatory properties?

  2. Bio-availability: It must be in its natural form NOT a synthetic triglyceride which many fish oils are.

  3. High content of quality omega-3 and DHA: Be reasonably high in omega-3 with the dominant essential fatty acid being DHA.

  4. Purity: The fish oil must be strictly tested for any contaminants with supporting evidence that proves the results.


  5. Freshness: This means low oxidation levels; once again with cold, hard evidence to back-up such claims.





    Xtend-Life’s Omega 3 / DHA Fish Oil complies with all of the above guidelines.
