Omega-3 fatty Acids Support So Many Aspects of Health
Perhaps the role of omega-3 fatty acids in supporting heart health is best known. In fact, regular adequate intake of omega-3’s may prevent sudden cardiac arrest and stroke.
In addition, omega-3’s are also critical for proper neurological and brain development, eye and skin health and for your immune system. So you it’s understandable that it’s important for developing children too.
And all of us benefit from our bodies’ maintaining a healthy inflammatory response, another role of omega-3 fatty acids. According to researchers inflammation is an important root of chronic degenerative diseases like arthritis, inflamed joints, diabetes, heart disease, obesity and Alzheimer’s.
Omega-3’s Can Help Rebalance Essential Fatty Acids in the American Diet
The typical American diet — very low in Omega 3’s and very high in Omega-6’s — is a pro-inflammatory diet.
Increasing Omega-3’s (through food and nutritional supplements) can help restore a better balance of these essential fatty acids. Omega-3’s can help reduce inflammation.

Heart Health – American Heart Association (AHA) Recommendations
The AHA recommends consumption of Omega-3 fatty acids to decrease the risk factors associated with heart disease, such as hypertension, high triglycerides and atherosclerosis.
- General health maintenance — many health organizations recommend around 500 mg of EPA+DHA (combined) per day. This amount would reflect the amounts you get in your diet fish high in Omega-3 fatty acids, flaxseed oil and flaxseeds, walnuts) plus nutritional Omega-3 supplements.
- People with heart disease — the AHA recommends 1 gram (1000 mg) of EPA+DHA daily from fish and dietary supplements, as recommended by their physician.
- People with elevated triglycerides — the AHA recommends 2-4 grams (2,000 – 4,000 mg) of EPA+DHA each day from fish and dietary supplements, as recommended by their physician.
Why Nordic Naturals Fish Oil is a Good Choice
Nordic Naturals fish oil has been used in published clinical studies at many leading research institutions. Nordic Naturals has a great reputation for the freshness and great taste of its products. Each batch of ProOmega 1000 is independently tested for freshness and purity. (Freshness is especially important for oils since they are vulnerable to peroxidation and rancidity.)
They are also known for using a patented manufacturing process that is hexane-free, oxygen-free, and uses reduced heat.
(It’s good for the environment too. To prevent overfishing, 100% of the fish is sourced in compliance with the Norwegian fisheries management system, which has been a model of sustainability for over 30 years.)
ProOmega fish oil is processed in Norway and distributed in the US by Nordic Naturals.
