o3mega+
pump™ provides a ratio of 4:2 EPA/DHA:GLA that when used in studies
was found to increase the known cardiovascular protective properties
of fish oil. o3mega+ pump™ has been scientifically formulated
to protect and support the functioning of your heart and blood vessels,
helping you maintain a healthy circulatory system.
The value
of Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) in heart health is well established:
The American
Heart Association recently advised a target consumption of about 1
gram of combined EPA/DHA per day; however, the average daily intake
of combined EPA/DHA is only 130mg.
The American
Heart Association has acknowledged the value of healthy, toxin-free
fish oil capsules as an alternative or supplement to dietary fish.
An emerging
area of cardiovascular research by the renowned fish oil expert, Dr.
Bruce Holub, involves the addition of GLA to the fish-derived EPA
and DHA. While fish oil has well-researched cardiovascular protective
effects, GLA has been shown to lower cholesterol, particularly LDL
(bad) cholesterol. Plus GLA does more! GLA can:
*
Lower total cholesterol
* Increase the more desirable HDL cholesterol
* Prevent the development of high blood pressure
* Decrease blood pressure associated with age
* Prevent the build-up of plaque in the artery walls
Research
published in 2003 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition discovered
that the ratio of EPA/DHA to GLA that offers the greatest cardio-protective
benefits was the ratio of 4:2 (EPA/DHA:GLA). This ratio was determined
to:
*
Lead to a reduction in LDL cholesterol (11.3%)
* Reduce the 10-year risk of heart attack by 43%!
* Lead to significant increases in anti-inflammatory DGLA production,
an important finding as researchers are now beginning to view cardiovascular
disease as an inflammatory disorder
