BioCare Dricelle Cod Liver Oil - Omega 3 - 120g Powder
The parent fatty acid in the Omega 3 family of polyunsaturates is Alpha-Linolenic Acid which can be converted in the body to longer chain members such as Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA).
The main dietary sources of Omega 3 Fatty Acids are oily fish such as mackerel and herring which are little consumed by Western populations.
Cod Liver Oil contains large amounts of EPA and DHA. These omega-3 fatty acids help maintain a healthy heart and facilitate the utilisation of oxygen by the heart muscle. Omega-3 fatty acids also help maintain the integrity of the epithelial tissue lining the lungs and intestinal tract and the skin.
Eskimos were found to have lower levels of Low-Density Lipoproteins (LDL) and higher levels of High Density Lipoproteins (HDL). Fatty acids in fish oils consumed by Eskimos are thought to be the reason why the Eskimo can eat such a high fat diet and yet maintain a healthy heart.
