Omega 3 Isolate

:: Energy source
:: Assists with mental focus and cognitive function
:: Regulate cell activity and healthy cardiovascular function
:: Building blocks of tissue in the brain and retina of the eye
:: Could possibly assist people with Alzheimer’s disease and dimentia
:: Converted into hormone like substances called prostaglandins

Plays a very important role during fetal development, early infancy, and old age. In the last couple of years awareness of the disproportionate consumption of omega-6 fatty acids compared to omega-3 fatty acids, as well as the health benefits for reversing this trend have grown. With typical Western eating habits, diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids are difficult, but not impossible, to obtain without supplementation. The increased health benefits of eating more fish, a trend in the right direction, have however come with additional concerns about ingesting heavy metals and other contaminants. The latter along with ever increasing scientific research findings, has led to both the supplemental and therapeutic use of concentrated fish oils in both ‘alternative’ as well as ‘orthodox’ health care practices.

Biogen’s omega 3 isolate from salmon oil is a very important source of the essential long chain polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). DHA is a building block of tissue in the brain and retina of the eye. It helps with forming neural transmitters, such as phosphatidylserine, which is important for brain function. DHA is found in the retina of the eye and taking DHA may be necessary for maintaining healthy levels of DHA for normal eye function. EPA and DHA are converted into hormone like substances called prostaglandins, and they regulate cell activity and healthy cardiovascular function (cardiac arrhythmia). DHA plays a very important role during fetal development, early infancy, and old age. High concentrations of DHA are found in the brain and increases 300-500% in an infant’s brain during the last trimester of pregnancy. Adding DHA to a pregnant mother’s diet may be beneficial for the fetus’s brain development. Elderly people should also take EPA and DHA, because as we get older, our bodies form less DHA and EPA, which may cause less mental focus and cognitive function. Taking EPA and DHA may also help with mental abnormalities, such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

There are other benefits to taking EPA and DHA because it also plays as a source of energy, it insulates the body against heat loss, prevents skin from drying and flaking, and cushions tissues and organs.
