Optimum Nutrition Fish Oil 100 gels
We all are aware of countless benefits of fish oils. Optimum Nutrition Fish Oil Softgels are enteric coated, which means that you get all of the benefits of fish oils without the fishy aftertaste that you might encounter without this special coating. Fish Oils contain long-chain fatty acids DHA and EPA. DHA is shorthand for docosahexaenoic acid and EPA for Eicosapentaenoic Acid.
Enteric Coated Fish Oil Softgel:
- Heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids
- Long chain EPA & DHA oils
- Easier to swallow softgels
DHA: This omega-3 fatty acid is the primary building block of the brain and retina of the eye. In addition to being an integral part of our vision, our hearts and our nerves, DHA also benefits our cholesterol. A recent study showed that volunteers who took DHA on a regular basis achieved lower levels of LDL cholesterol and higher levels of HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol).
EPA: This omega-3 fatty acid provides anti-inflammatory activity, enhance the immune system, thin blood and lower blood pressure. The cardiovascular benefits of EPA are numerous.

DHA and EPA are essential fats that cannot be made by your body. So, consuming them through foods like salmon and supplements such as the Optimum Nutition Fish Oil Softgels is the only way to get DHA and EPA.

What are the fatty acids?
|
|
|
Chemically, a fatty acid is an organic compound with an acid group at one end of its molecule and a methyl group at the other end. Fatty acids are typically categorized in the omega groups 3, 6 and 9 according to the location of their first double bond. There’s also an omega-7 group, but these are compartively less important to human health.

|
|
|
|
What are the essential fatty acids (EFA)?
|
|
|
The term essential fatty acid (EFA) refers to a fatty acid that the body cannot manufacture and must, therefore, obtain from dietary sources. These EFAs were originally designated as Vitamin F, until it was realized they should be classified with the fats.
There are two fatty acids designated as EFAs: Linoleic acid (LA) (omega-6) and Alpha linolenic acid (ALA) (omega-3). This does not mean the other 15 or so fatty acids found in the omega 3, 6 and 9 groups aren’t important, just that a healthy body can manufacture them as long as it gets enough LA and ALA. Nevertheless, research demonstrates there are health benefits to be had by obtaining some of the other nonessential fatty acids directly.

|
|
|
|
What roles do Essential fatty acids (EFAs) play in our body?
|
|
|
EFAs Plays an important role in our body. The body uses EFAs for the formation of healthy cell membranes, the proper development and functioning of the brain and nervous system, and for the production of hormone-like substances called eicosanoids (i.e., thromboxanes, leukotrienes, prostaglandins). These chemicals regulate numerous body functions including blood pressure, blood viscosity, vasoconstriction, immune and inflammatory responses. Here are some main functions of EFAs:
- Energy Production
- Diffusion of oxygen into the bloodstream
- Brain and nerve tissue development
- Control cell membrane fluids
- Strengthen immune system
- Reduce water retention, by assisting in sodium and water removal
- Calming effect and regulates mood
No doubt, essential fatty acids are of extreme importance. There is more to them though.

What are the benefits essential fatty acids?
|
|
|
EFAs are Critical in maintaining maximum testosterone levels. EFAs also produce good prostaglandins, which can improve the actions of insulin, decrease muscle breakdown, increase growth hormone secretion and optimize growth hormone production. Additionally, essential fatty acids promote healthy cholesterol levels, stimulate tissue repair, combat cortisol and increase the use of fat for energy.

|
|
What are the natural sources of essential fatty acids?
|
|
|
The primary sources of essential fatty acids are plants on land and in the sea. Linoleic acid (LA) (omega-6) is found primarily in seeds, nuts, grains and legu | | | | | | | | |
