OMEGA 3 FISH OIL

Supplementing with an omega-3 fatty (Fish Oil) may lower the risk of non-fatal coronary events by 20 percent, according to a new Japanese study published in The Lancet.

Researchers followed 18,645 Japanese high-cholesterol patients for four and a half years. All the patients were already taking cholesterol medications known as statins when the study began. Over the course of the study, half of the patients were assigned a daily EPA (Omega 3) supplement in addition to their medication while the other half received only medication.

The group receiving the EPA (Omega 3) supplement had a 24 percent lower occurrence of a type of chest pain known as angina pectoris, and a 19 percent lower occurrence of non-fatal coronary events. The researchers did not report any effect on mortality risk.

"Overall, this study shows that EPA (Omega 3), at a dose of 1,800 milligrams per day, is a very promising regimen for prevention of major coronary events," the researchers wrote. However, they cautioned that their results might not generalise to other ethnic groups.

EPAs (Omega 3) occur naturally in fish oils, as well as spirulina and microalgae. They are only one of many types of Omega 3 fatty acid.

In an editorial accompanying the study, Dariush Mozaffarian of Harvard School of Public Health praised the search for heart-healthy foods.

Healthy1020 recommend using dietary changes such as Omega 3 as they are low risk, inexpensive and readily available. By taking such items as Omega 3 and stopping risk factors such as bad diet, smoking and non-physical activity we can help ourselves stay fit and healthy with a prognosis for a longer and better quality of life.

The highest amount of naturally produced EPA and DHA are found in the NFS brand "FISH OIL 1200".
