Wild Sockeye Salmon Oil - 1000mg
Natural Factors Wild Sockeye Salmon Oil Capsules are
pure salmon oil, with the fatty acid ratio found in free-swimming salmon.
Here's why this is unique: To achieve high ratios of EPA to DHA,
commercially available salmon oil capsules are fortified with other fish
oils. One benefit of the Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil is that it has the lowest
cholesterol levels, in contrast to the higher levels of cholesterol found
in farmed salmon oil.
Environmentally-conscious consumers need not
worry about salmon stock depletion when taking this product. Natural
Factors Wild Sockeye Salmon Oil is a value-added by-product of the wild
salmon fishery. The oil is extracted from already harvested wild salmon,
using parts of the fish that would otherwise be wasted.
Salmon oil
is an excellent source of important omega-3 fatty acids. Thousands of
studies show the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids for the heart and
circulatory system. Two important Omega-3 fatty acids are eicosapentanoic
acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA), both found liberally in cold
water fish such as salmon. These fatty acids help reduce low density
lipoproteins (LDLs) and raise levels of good high density lipoproteins
(HDLs). These nutrients also reduce blood vessel constriction, lower
fibrinogen, (the blood clotting factor), and keep platelets from becoming
too sticky. Fish oil may keep arteries from being clogged after a
procedure known as balloon angioplasty.
High triglyceride levels
are associated with heart disease. Both of these fatty acids lower
triglyceride levels.
The essential fatty acids found in fish may
help the inflammation associated with arthritis.
