Gold Omega 3

Gold Omega 3 (Fish Oil/Eicosapentaenoic Acid/Docosahexaenoic Acid/Omega-3 Acids/Vitamin E) and Gold Omega 3 plus are dietary supplements which contain omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and are beneficial in maintaining a healthy heart. These acids occur in fatty layers of fish and certain other foods and are essential for proper metabolism. The body requires these acids but is unable to synthesize them, so they must be obtained from the diet. A substantial amount of medical research has pointed to numerous benefits for conditions such as cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune disorders.

There are two important Omega 3 fatty acids found in this supplement. One of these, DHA, helps maintain healthy eyes and vision, and is also important in developing nerve tissue. It may even benefit cognitive, memory and brain function. Many people have taken it for dementia, type 2 diabetes, coronary artery disease, macular degeneration, kidney disease and other problems. It has been shown to be effective at significantly reducing triglyceride levels in patients with hypertriglyceridemia, thereby reducing the risk of circulatory disorders and other heart conditions. The other fatty acid is called EPA and it benefits circulation while preventing blood clotting. Vitamin E is also contained.

The Gold Omega 3 plus version of this product contains additional ingredients. One of these is Antarctic krill oil. It is produced from krill, a crustacean found in the Antarctic, and is considered to have benefits similar to fish oil, with the added benefits of PLFA (phospholipid derived fatty acids). Some researchers think that it might increase plasma concentration of DHA and EPA in overweight patients, and it also affects cholesterol, LDL and HDL. The oil also contains a type of antioxidant known as astaxanthin, which has antioxidant properties. Some people have taken supplements such as this one for Alzheimer`s disease, Parkinson`s disease, digestive disorders and other conditions not listed here.

Gold Omega 3 (Fish Oil/Eicosapentaenoic Acid/Docosahexaenoic Acid/Omega-3 Acids/Vitamin E) capsules are intended to be taken by mouth. There are two different versions of this supplement available, and your physician will be able to advise you on which one is the most suitable for your particular needs. The Gold Omega 3 plus variety of this supplement is provided in a special capsule with a hard gelatin overcoat, so as to prevent the active ingredient from deteriorating prior to use. Adult patients are sometimes told by their physician to administer 1 capsule per day. You must not take more than the recommended amount.
