Our EPA/DHA products provide pure, molecularly
distilled, microfiltered fish oil concentrate for cardiovascular and joint
health.* Promotes Heart Health: EPA and DHA from
fish oil encourage cardiovascular health by supporting triglyceride and lipid
metabolism, maintaining healthy blood flow and promoting healthy platelet
function. A randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study involving 223
individuals indicated that fish oil supplementation promotes arterial function.
In addition, studies indicate that these oils help maintain blood vessel
integrity. One study also suggests that EPA may moderate protein kinase C,
supporting arterial smooth muscle cells.* Supports Joint Health: Fish oil is also
important for optimal joint function. It moderates prostaglandin and leukotriene
production, supporting healthy connective tissue. It also plays a role in
moderating neutrophil activity, supporting joint comfort. A double blind,
placebo controlled, prospective study involving 66 subjects revealed that fish
oils modulate immune mediator activity as well as provide support for joint
flexibility.* Pure Encapsulations EPA/DHA products are
molecularly distilled and microfiltered. They are sourced mainly from sardines
and anchovies off the coast of Chile or Norway. They have been tested for
contaminants including heavy metals, dioxans and furans, PCBs, peroxides and
anisidine. Pure Encapsulations recommends 2 capsules (or 1 or
more teaspoons of liquid) per day, with meals. For children, 1/2 to 1 teaspoon
per day is recommended, with or between meals. Fish oil may cause burping, gastrointestinal upset
or indigestion, nausea, diarrhea, or abdominal bloating. It has a mild blood
thinning effect and may influence glucose metabolism in some individuals,
typically at larger levels. If pregnant or lactating, consult your physician
before taking this product. Fish oil may react with blood thinning
medications. Consult your physician for more information. Kohno M, Ohmori K, Wada Y, et al. Inhibition by
