Eskimo 3 Fish Oil

Pure fish oil, or PFO, is one of the most beneficial health supplements that we can take.  These benefits are due to the presence of omega 3 fatty acids; namely Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). Other useful fatty acids are Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).

These fatty acids are essential to our health and wellbeing but most of our diets are lacking in them. Taking a supplement of pure fish oil will redress the balance. The list of health benefits from fatty acids is endless, but the main conditions which have been proved to show an improvement after taking omega 3 are; heart disease, cancer, depression, low immune syndrome, AIDS, eye disorders, high cholesterol, muscular degeneration and ulcers.

As well as health benefits, pure fish oil can also assist with fertility, weight loss, pregnancy and skin conditions such as acne and psoriasis. The type of fish used, and how the oil is refined is what governs the quality the fish oil will be when it hits the shelves. As the fish used can come from the ocean, fresh water etc the fish could all be contaminated with various toxins such as mercury or lead, this is where the refining process is so important.

Pure fish oil is exactly what it says it is; no chemical enhancements to boost the levels of DHA and EPA, just oil as nature intended. However, like most other health supplements, taking excessive amounts of any kind of fish oil can result in allergic reactions and other side effects. Always read the label carefully or consult your doctor to ensure you get the right dosage. Less is definitely more in this case.

You can increase your intake of fish oil naturally by eating more fish. Mackerel, trout, tuna, sea bass and salmon are all good sources. You can eat them baked, broiled etc. You do, however, have to eat an enormous amount of fish to feel the benefits, which can make your diet very boring and also very expensive. Taking a fish oil supplement is much more convenient for most people, and as they are available in liquid, capsule, tablet, soft gel etc so there is a method if intake to suit everyone.

The proven health benefits of taking pure fish oil are undeniable. This should be the first health supplement that you consider taking, one fish oil capsule can contain all the ingredients you need to vastly improve your health and well being.
