Omega-3 Fatty Acid Health Benefits Affirmed by Decades of Research
The past two decades have witnessed a dramatic worldwide increase in the scientific scrutiny of and public interest in fish oil and omega-3 fatty acids. A large and growing body of epidemiological, experimental and clinical research now firmly indicates that dietary omega-3 fatty acids improve or diminish the risk of an array of health conditions.

The accumulated research evidence has prompted organizations such as the American Heart Association, the United Kingdom Department of Health, the United Kingdom Food Standard Agency, the British Nutrition Foundation and the European Society of Cardiology to issue recommended guidelines for daily dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids.

Recommended fish intake for the general population ranges from 2 to 4 portions (200-400 grams/portion) each week. For people who have suffered a heart attack, daily fish intake to provide 1 gram daily of omega-3 fatty acids is recommended recognizing that this level of intake may only be possible through dietary fish oil supplementation.
Omega-3 fatty acid consumption supports:

CARDIOVASCULAR FUNCTION
Helps maintain normal triglyceride levels, support platelet function, maintain elasticity
of artery walls, stabilize heart rhythm, and assist blood pressure regulation.

NEUROLOGICAL FUNCTION
Critically facilitates normal neurological growth and development in children, including visual function. Also tempers mood and promotes mental health.

IMMUNE FUNCTION
Attenuates allergic responses and helps balance the inflammatory effects of omega-6 fatty acids resulting in benefits for respiratory function, joint integrity, and GI health.

SKIN HEALTH
Maintains healthy skin by protecting against ultraviolet radiation and modulating allergic and inflammatory responses.
