New York, NY, August 15, 2014 — In a comprehensive new study published in the journal Lipids in Health and Disease (https://www.lipidworld.com/content/13/1/99) it was shown that the molecular structure and dosage of omega-3 found in the oil derived from Scandinavian sources reduces the risk of heart disease more effectively than other sources.
The trial objective was to compare the increases in blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids after consumption of four different omega-3 supplements and to assess potential changes in cardiovascular disease risk following supplementation. Results showed that Scandinavian fish oil in the natural triglyceride (TG) form was 382% more effective than krill oil and 227% more effective than salmon oil. Scandinavian ethyl ester (EE) fish oil was 202% better than krill oil and 120% better than salmon oil.
Fatty acids containing omega-3 are a type of polyunsaturated fat. To construct brain cells and for other significant functions, we need these fats. Omega-3s help keep the heart protected and away from stroke. When you do have heart disease, they can help improve your heart health.
On its own, the body does not produce omega-3 fatty acids. They need to be taken off your diet. The best omega supplements are some fish. You can get them from plant foods as well.
Fatty acids with omega-3 can make up 5% to 10% of the daily calories. It indicates that eating at least two servings of fish a week, especially fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, lowers the risk of heart disease, particularly sudden cardiac death.
Here’s how specialists say that omega 3 fish oil benefits will minimize the risk of Coronary Heart diseases by:
- Reducing the risk of heart rhythm irregularities, which can lead to premature cardiac death
- Lowering amounts of triglycerides
- Reducing the plaque growth rate that clogs blood vessels
- Slightly lowering blood pressure
- Helping to prevent blood vessel inflammation and blood clot formation
