Omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 fatty acids) are commonly found in marine and plant oils. These, which are vital to our normal metabolism, cannot be made by the human body and must come from diet. The common sources of n-3 fatty acids include fish oils, algal oil, squid oil and some plant oils.The most important fatty acids from diet, alpha-linolenic acid ( ALA) is further converted in the body to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Studies have shown that EPA and DHA, that comes from Omega 3 in general decrease triglyceride in person with high blood lipid level.This product offers Omega-3 which has both EPA and DHA. FDA on September 8, 2004 released the statement " supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA n-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease".* The Canadian government had released statement that "DHA supports the normal development of the brain, eyes and nerves." Caution should be exercised when interpreting "Omega" to mean omega 3 but many such products may contain only ALA and not EPA or DHA. Cold water oily fish( salmon, herring, mackerel, anchovies and sardines) provide an excellent source of EPA and DHA. This product do come from these sources. Moreover, Healthboost Plus product also have Co-enzyme Q10 added. Co enzyme Q10 is believed to be a potent antioxidant and by adding this in an oil formulation, like our omega 3 will help body absorb Co Q10 better.* * These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
