Why You Should Supplement Omega-3 The American Heart Association has endorsed omega-3 fatty acids as good for the heart. Through the years, hundreds of studies have established that individuals with diets high in omega-3 fatty acids experience a decrease in the risk of heart attack, stroke and abnormal heart rhythms.

Two clinical studies concluded that including omega-3 rich foods or supplements in the diet could prevent sudden death from abnormal heart rhythms. Omega-3 fatty acids decrease the LDL (“bad”) cholesterol in your blood while increasing the HDL (“good”) cholesterol helping you control high cholesterol. They also protect the heart by preventing blood clots and keeping other fats from injuring arterial walls. The Benefits of EPA/DHA Fatty Acids Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is one of the omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are often deficient in the American diet today. Studies indicate that increasing the intake of EPA may provide added protection against coronary heart disease, high blood pressure and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid essential to the proper functioning of our brains as adults. Lack of sufficient DHA may be associated with impaired mental ability as well as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. Low levels of DHA have also been associated with depression and Alzheimer’s in adults. Why MaxEPA Beats the Competition MaxEPA is extracted from fish body oils at low temperatures without the use of harsh solvents. The result is an oil with high concentrations of DHA and EPA. When it comes to supplements, MaxEPA, with twice the omega-3 of other fish oil products, is the best on the market.
