In the past I've written quite a bit about the health benefits of fish oil supplements. Today I want to look more specifically at the heart health benefits of fish oil supplementation, or fish oil capsules.
There is a new study, the results of which have been published in the Jan/Feb issue of Sports Health, A Multidisciplinary Approach.
It was a study of the heart benefits of taking fish oil supplements, or essential fatty acid supplements, the main component of which is fish oil.
There were 36 pro football players who took part and they took either omega 3 fish oil supplements or else a placebo. The fish oil capsules they took contained 2560 mg of omega-3 fatty acids (650 mg EPA and 450 mg DHA in each capsule.)
The study, or it's results, backed up the conclusions of so many other studies that supported the health benefits of Omega 3 fish oil supplementation that increased the levels of essential fatty acids in the diet.
The results were good. HDL levels (good cholesterol) went up while LDL (bad cholesterol) went down.
And as well they demonstrated an improvement in overall triglycerides, the level being significantly lowered.
Now this isn't the first fish oil supplements study to confirm a link between improved heart health and the intake of more fish oil, or Omega 3 fatty acids. There's now many studies that confirm the heart benefits of fish oil supplements.
In fact the American Heart Association now recommends the intake of EPA and DHA (the two major beneficial Omega 3 fats) daily, at a dose of 1 gram a day, more for those with elevated triglycerides.
So now you know. There are significant benefits to your heart health from taking Omega 3 fish oil capsules, so you ought to be making sure you're doing so. How? By taking the very best Omega 3 fish oil capsules.
Be aware that not all Omega 3 supplements are created equal. There are issues with both the quantity of DHA in each capsule as well as the purity of the fish oil, some fish oils being contaminated with heavy metals and PCBs and mercury. These are only small amounts but the best fish oil capsules contain higher levels of DHA than most others and undetectable levels of contaminants.
So anyone at risk of heart related health problems should be taking the very best fish oil supplements. That's you.
