Fish Oil

General Information:
AdvaCare is a GMP manufacturer of Fish Oil (Omega-3) softgels.

Fish Oil (Omega-3) comes from tissues of oily fish, such as cold-water, fatty fish. The key component is omega-3 with EPA and DHA content. In various studies, it is found that fish oil benefits brain health, mood regulation, supports kidneys function, improves blood pressure and many more. Fish oils work with Vitamin D, Vitamin B12 to reduce stress, improve memory functions, and provide supports for blood pressure. During the aging process, it helps in strengthening muscles for athletic individuals and older generations. It also has beneficial properties for kidney health, mental/nerve health, eye health, cardiovascular/blood health, and more. Fish oil can be used to treat kidney-related problems such as kidney disease, kidney failure, and complications due to diabetes, cirrhosis, Berger’s disease, and heart transplantation. Some take fish oil to improve mental and nerve health, as fish oil can treat a long list of conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, ADHD, Alzheimer’s disease, migraines, epilepsy, schizophrenia, PTSD, mental impairment, and anxiety. Fish oil is also good for eye conditions, such as dry eyes, cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration which can affect eyesight.

Benefits:
Fish oil is proven to improve cardiovascular and blood health. It can lower triglyceride levels when paired with diet and exercise as approved by the FDA, as well as lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It has been used to prevent heart disease and stroke, clogged arteries, chest pains, irregular heartbeats, heart failure, and rapid heartbeat, blood clots, and high blood pressure from a heart transplant.

Other benefits of fish oil include alleviating pain, such as breast pain, and muscular soreness. It reduces inflammation as well, in the skin, relieving eczema, allergies, asthma, and stomach ulcers. It can treat diseases and conditions such as lung disease, cancer, diabetes, and autism. It can also encourage improvements in weight loss in obese patients, muscular strength, and hair health.

Precaution:
Fish oil should not be left in the sun or heat. It can reduce blood clotting and should be used cautiously if already taking blood-thinning medicine, such as aspirin. Ask a doctor before use if you have diabetes, liver disease, pancreas disorder, an underactive thyroid, or drink more than two alcoholic drinks per day. Moreover, it is important to maintain a balance between omega-3, in fish oil, and omega-6 fatty acids with slightly more omega-6 to keep the immune system working properly.

Krill oil vs fish oil:
Krill oil looks different than fish oil. Fish oil is typically a shade of yellow, a naturally occurring antioxidant called astaxanthin gives krill oil a reddish color. Both supplements have common side effects and common benefits since both are the source of omega-3 fatty acids including DHA and EPA.
