General Nutritional Support:
Cardiovascular disease may be the most common cause of
death in the United States. Symptoms often associated with
cardiovascular disease may be high LDL "bad" cholesterol
levels, high blood pressure, and overall poor circulation.
EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid
and a precursor to the anti-inflammatory prostaglandin
series 3. Much of the interest surrounding Omega-3 fatty
acids arose from the discovery that Greenland Inuit and
coastal Japanese populations consume high levels of
Omega-3 fatty acids and have remarkably healthy
cardiovascular systems.* Since then, extensive research on
Omega-3 fatty acids from fish indicate that several different
mechanisms of action are responsible for their possible
heart healthy benefits.
The Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA (Docosahexaenoic
Acid), play important structural roles as components of
cellular membranes. Ongoing Clinical studies support the
role of EPA and Omega-3 fatty acids in health and disease.
American Heart Association recommends 2-4 grams EPA
and DHA per day for people with elevated triglycerides.
ProEPA, one of the industry's highest concentrations of
EPA from fish, is enhanced with natural lemon oil for
great lemon taste. ProEPA is molecularly distilled for
purity and concentration, and has added lipid stabilizing
antioxidants for superior freshness. ProEPA, provides
nutritional support for the body to manufacture vital
series E3 prostaglandins, and is “repeat” and “odor free”.

Different types of omega-3s
Key omega-3 fatty acids include eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA), both found primarily in oily cold-water fish such as tuna, salmon, and mackerel. Aside from fresh seaweed, a staple of many cultures, plant foods rarely contain EPA or DHA.
However, a third omega-3, called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), is found primarily in dark green leafy vegetables, flaxseed oils, and certain vegetable oils. Although ALA has different effects on the body than EPA and DHA do, the body has enzymes that can convert ALA to EPA. All three are important to human health.
Health Benefits Omega-3's
Scientists made one of the first associations between omega-3s and human health while studying the Inuit (Eskimo) people of Greenland in the 1970s. As a group, the Inuit suffered far less from certain diseases (coronary heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus, psoriasis) than their European counterparts. Yet their diet was very high in fat from eating whale, seal, and salmon. Eventually researchers realized that these foods were all rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which provided real disease-countering benefits.
Researchers continue to explore this exciting field. They've found that without a sufficient supply of polyunsaturated omega-3s, the body will use saturated fat to construct cell membranes. The resulting cell membranes, however, are less elastic, a situation that can have a negative effect on the heart because it makes it harder to return to a resting state.
Nutritionists have come to recognize the importance of balancing omega-3 fatty acids with omega-6 fatty acids in the diet. Because most people on a typical Western diet consume far more omega-6-rich foods (including cereals, whole-grain bread, baked goods, fried foods, margarine, and others), the ratio is out of balance for almost everyone. This means for most Americans the emphasis now needs to be on increasing omega-3s to make the ratio more even.
The bottom line: Omega-3s appear to help prevent and treat various disorders in different ways. For example, research suggests that in individuals with non-insulin-dependent (or type 2) diabetes, omega-3s can improve insulin sensitivity. They also ease menstrual pain.
