Omega-3 Supplements

What Are Triglycerides?

Potent Omega-3 supplements, such as PURE ONE^TM, can help reduce high triglyceride levels. If your doctor has told you that you have high triglyceride levels, you need to begin a regimen of Omega-3 vitamins.  Omega-3 has been proven to have little or no side effects even under high dosages so there is little cause for worry in taking this non-prescription product.

Triglycerides are a risk factor screened for during a cholesterol test.  Triglycerides represent the blood fat levels.  If the fat levels are too high, for too long, heart problems may result as well as lipotoxicity, insulin resistance and metabolic diseases.

A regimen of Omega-3 can reduce triglyceride levels by as much as 29% if taken in the proper doses.  The recommended dosage for this condition is 1000mg DHA per day.  DHA is one of the active components of Omega-3 and is directly responsible for reducing triglyceride levels.  It's important to review the information on the label of Omega-3 supplements to see the level of DHA the supplements contain.  Different supplements contain different levels of DHA.

Some benefits of taking an Omega-3 supplement are well documented, such as:

• Lowering of Triglyceride levels
• Cardiovascular Improvement
          
There are more benefits however, which have not yet been scientifically proven and are still open to debate.  Additional benefits of Omega 3 may include:

• Protection from Arrythmias
• Reduction of Arteriosclerosis
• Joint and arthritis improvement
• Improvement in ADD care for afflicted children
• Relief of skin conditions such a psoriasis
• help with Cancer treatments (breast, colon, and prostate cancers)
• Tumor growth inhibition
• Fundamental help with multiple sclerosis care
